I'm very disappointed in this book. It claims to tell of 101 things that can be done with a slow cooker; however, it only actually touches on the most obvious one: slow cooking things. I knew you could slow cook things with a slow cooker. I can think of a few others on my own; for example, a cooker might make a good paperweight or doorstop. The same authors even had the audacity to publish 101 More Things to Do With a Slow Cooker a year after their first attempt and they still only tell you about slow cooking!
