Moving ahead from her three successful bread machine cookbooks, Lora Brody assesses and advises on a total of 20 popular kitchen appliances in Lora Brody Plugged In. For each one, she tells what it does, why you might need it, how it works (in perhaps more detail than you may want), and which (size, type) would be right for your needs; explains care and maintenance; provides tips and rules for use; and gives recipes. The recipes range from the obvious to the eye-opening; for example, she includes recipes for lasagna in a slow-cooker, soba (Japanese buckwheat noodles) in a bread machine, and mashed potatoes in a rice cooker. Meticulous to a fault, Brody has made sure that every recipe works and tastes marvelous. Reading Lora Brody Plugged In may provoke an inexplicable urge to acquire new kitchen hardware such as a water smoker or rice cooker.
Product Description
The Queen of the Bread Machine takes on the rest of the kitchen! Arranged alphabetically by appliance, Lora Brody gives the lowdown on each machine--what it does best, how it works, how to take care of it, and tips for using it. Featuring 375 recipes, this is the one-stop cookbook for every electric tabletop appliance worth its warranty National media. 9-city author tour.

 Brody's Best October 28, 2001
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a budding gourmet, one of my recent culinary delights was from this book- Lora Brody's crock-pot lasagna is the best! However, in our Rival Crock-Pot, I discovered that about 4 1/2 hours is good. At 6 hours, our lasagna burned on the bottom. All the same, I'm not discouraged. I plan to make the sauce recipe alone again and serve it on pasta. ( By the way, since I don't have a food processor, I used bottled basil pesto instead of Lora's homemade tomato version, and it was fine. )

I found this book at the library, checked it out, tried out several of the recipes, and decided it was a must-have for my own cookbook collection. I have practically worn out my copy of Brody's Entertaining Survival Guide and expect that Plugged In will also become well-used and well-loved. I especially like the slow cooker recipes. I am not interested in slow cooker recipes that tell you to dump a can of cream of mushroom soup in along with your other ingredients. The slow cooker recipes in Plugged In are very tasty and different. After the chapter on electric skillets I am kicking myself for having put mine in a garage sale two summers ago. My only complaint about this book is that there is too much info about each appliance that can easily be found in the manufacturer's booklet. No biggie as you can skip over it but I would have rather seen the space used for more tasty recipes!
Electrifyingly delicious! February 10, 1998

I'm biased since I was a member of the team who helped Lora with the book. I'm particularly fond of the Smoked Trout Mousse, especially on matzoh with balsamic vinegar-soaked capers. My mouth is STILL watering!
