Take it easy...

More than anything, we’re hearing that home cooks are worn out after almost a year of preparing nearly every meal. And after

the excitement and festivity of the holidays, you may be wanting to detox in more ways than one. Normally, our Healthy issue is

packed full of nutrition-focused recipes. This year, we’re keeping that nutrition in mind, but focusing more on helping families out mentally. The best way we can think to do that is to provide an abundance of quick, easy meal solutions.

Try one of our Bright Breakfasts to get your day started right. Then check out the many, many Weeknight Dinners we’ve included.

These are easy, kid-friendly, quick, and sometimes one-pan or one-pot recipes. If you’re really craving that extra dose of nutrition, check out our Warm Up with Flavorful Soup and Grain Bowls sections. While these are a bit more time-intensive, you may find

you have leftovers, especially if you make a double batch! Finally, be sure to check out our Kids Club recipe for this issue, which kids can make almost entirely on their own. Plus, we’ve included a list of ways kids of all ages can help out in the kitchen.

All of us at Price Chopper wish you and your family a happy and healthy new year!

Choosing the

Kitchen Cooker For You

New, efficient kitchen appliances continue to bring buzz to home cooks looking to prepare flavorful meals with less hassle. However, it can be tricky to choose between cooking gadgets, as many serve different purposes. Here’s a quick guide to slow cookers, air fyers, and pressure cookers and how their distinct functions may make them the cooking device fit for your kitchen.

Slow Cooker

A slow cooker is an essential appliance for any busy household.

Slow cookers cook foods at low temperatures over longer periods, making them perfect for unattended home cooking. Whether you’re preparing a meal overnight or want to return home from work with dinner ready to enjoy, add all of the ingredients to the device, then let the slow cooker work its magic.

Make sure it’s filled half to two-thirds full to guarantee that the foods cook properly. Pay attention to layering information in recipes; foods cooked on the bottom of the slow cooker will cook faster and retain more moisture since they simmer in the liquid. Lifting the lid to check your meal’s progress may release too much necessary heat. Instead, try spinning it until the condensation falls off, and then look inside to see your progress.

LOW TEMP LONG TIME

Air Fryer

Air fryers give foods a crispy, crunchy exterior without excessive amounts of oil. They circulate dry heat around a perforated basket containing the food, allowing the heat to intensify and quickly reach the ingredients.

Some air fryer recipes suggest tossing the foods with about a tablespoon of oil before air frying, but others believe that a bit of butter or oil is only needed to maximize flavor, making air fryers a healthy preparation option. Air fryers can “fry” foods and are also excellent for roasting and baking. With the circulating heat, air fryers require a watchful eye, as food can quickly burn. Its smaller size also allows for easy transportation – perfect for those in need of an efficient cooking gadget on the go.

DRY HEAT QUICK

PRESSURE COOKER

Pressure cookers use steam pressure to cook foods. The high-pressure steam increases both the water’s boiling point and the pressure, forcing liquid into foods that help them cook. Pressure cookers are best for preparing large quantities in a short amount of time; use them to tenderize and add caramelization to tough meats and roasts while cooking beans, rice or vegetables.

It may be tricky to know how long to cook the food, but manufacturers often provide guides for cooking times and how fast or slow to release the pressure. This device requires waiting time before cooking to reach the proper temperature, but the cooking time is much less than that of a slow cooker – generally taking less than an hour to produce a large meal.

For those looking to create elaborate meals more quickly, the pressure cooker may be the tool for you.

USES STEAM SHORT TIME

Though they present unique characteristics, these cooking devices are all extremely effective at helping home cooks prepare flavorful meals more easily.
