The draw of the slow cooker is you can cook something for long periods of time with little to no tending. As an alternative, I got this for my cousin a few years ago. He loves it for the delay feature and that it steams the food. He puts rice and veggies in it, program it to start shortly before he gets home, and all he has to do was cook up a protein.
Well, kind of. More like:
EDIT: Forgot "Cleveland" steamer meant something else, doh!
If I want a big pile of mashed potato, I haul out my steamer. Mine's much older, but that's the sort - two big clear plastic baskets, stacked over a heat source. I don't have air conditioning, so this is a summer life-saver. It doesn't heat up the kitchen the way boiling a pot of water would.
It may be the ultimate comfort food. It's also a great ingredient... and if your potatoes are all sprouting on you, this is a good way of making them into something you can make into something.
But this is the time to as, if I am butchering veggies at the sink, need I limit myself to potatoes?
Nope. Ssing a smaller dice than you used for the potatoes, toss in a small rutabaga (swede). It's spicy, peppery notes will go very well. Turnips work too. A parsnip will add to the mix. Carrots are cheap and you always forget they are in the fridge, don't you? Throw in a carrot. It will look festive. If you want pink potatoes, a small diced beet will add complexity. Hell, they are so overpowering that getting non-beet lovers to accept this cheap iron-rich delight is a challenge. Sneak some in there!
You can even go out of range - throw in some diced winter squash. Now you can call it "squish."
Because that's what you are going to do to it. Squish it.
Salt and pepper to taste, oil, margarine or butter, again, to taste, serve.
