Want to give a memorable gift to that special graduate in your life? A gift that will be appreciated for years to come? How about giving them a slow cooker? That special graduate in your life will think of you every time they use that slow cooker in their college dorm.
College kids gain on average about ten pounds the first year. Dorm food is not always the healthiest and college kids don't always eat on a normal schedule with their classes and study habits. How convenient for a college kid to have a slow cooker in their dorm.
They can toss a few ingredients in the slow cooker before they head out of their dorm in the morning and set the slow cooker on low. When they return later that day they will have a healthy meal waiting for them. There is nothing like a hot healthy meal when you are missing home, comfort food. Slow cookers are also great for soups. College dorms are a breading ground for germs and college kids will pass viruses back and forth. For those days when they are under the weather, they can throw together a slow cooker crock full of chicken soup.
In addition to getting them a slow cooker, there is also a great slow cooker cookbook that gives you hundreds of recipes that call for five ingredients or less for each recipe. That will give them options for meals for the several years they spend away from home and in their college dorm. It is also something that they can take with them to their first home and then on to family life. It is the gift that will keep on giving for many years to come.
There are also ready made meals you can purchase these days and throw the entire bag in the slow cooker to have a complete meal. So easy and you know it will taste much better than the dorm food that has been sitting under the heat lamps for who knows how long.
So, if you want to give them a gift that they will appreciate for years to come, a slow cooker is an awesome option. The meals they will prepare in the slow cooker are going to be a lot healthier than the dorm food alternative. And, for days when they are home sick, they can whip up a batch of comfort food.
