My number one most valuable purchase as a mother is a slow cooker. I use it at least once a week for slow cooked roasts, vegetarian soups and chili, and just discovered that a jar of BBQ poured over the seared off meat gives you amazing pulled pork, beef, or lamb. Yesterday I used 5 short ribs. Seared them off in a pan w/ canola oil (meaning, get a pan hot with enough oil to coat the bottom, pat the ribs dry with a paper towel, salt and pepper them, then put them in the pan, rotating them on each side for about a minute). Then: put them in the slow cooker set on low. Pour a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce over the top, put on the lid, and leave for about 6 hours. Come back, cook some white rice, and serve! Not so good as leftovers, so make a small batch or invite some friends and family over. Note: if the liquid does not cover the meat, be sure to rotate the meat about once an hour to keep it all moist.
