Who ever invented Crock Pots is a genius. I have been hesitant to use a crock pot because I was afraid I was becoming too much like my parents. Well, I decided to get over that especially since I believe strongly in eating foods and meals that are less inflammatory. What I have found is the crock pot is a very healthful way to prepare foods and reducing the inflammatory load derived from food.
Some of the proponents of the Raw Food Movement talk about Advanced Glycation End Products (AGES) which form when foods are cooked at high temperatures. These AGES are said to wreak havoc on organs because they bind places where they shouldn't and cause oxidative stress and damage. I enjoy a cooked meal too much to join the Raw Food Movement, so I am incorporating slow-low-temp cooked meals into my diet.
Today I made a Gumbo that cooked all day for 9 hours! The temperature never went above 180 degrees. By the way the Nutrition Data Website had an excellent list of foods based on their inflammatory load. It will rank the anti-inflammatory effect of food. This worth looking at.
