I heard this segment on NPR recently:

It was about the book "How to Cook Everything Fast: A Better Way to Cook Great Food"

http://www.amazon.com/How-Cook-Everything-Fast-Better/dp/047...

Personally, buying a slow cooker was an awesome investment. In under 30 mins I can easily put things into it and leave them cooking over night and have excellent meals for the rest of the week.
