Lavish Cheapskate Tips for Frugal Cookware
The right cookware can not only save you time, it can save you money by enabling you to cook in quantity, cut back on energy costs, and build upon "The Quick Grab Concept" that we discuss in my book,
The Lavish Cheapskate.
Now let's take a look at some of the best choices in cookware to help you free up more money in your everyday spending! So let's get started...
The Handy-Dandy Crock Pot!
Crock pots make it very easy to cook larger quantities of food and cut back significantly on energy costs. Not all crock pots are created equal. I suggest one that is easy to use and cooks larger quantities at a reasonable price. This is the same crock pot I have in my kitchen. I love it because it's super easy to clean, it's very easy to use, and I'm able to create many quick grab meals by using it. The oval size is more convenient, and it's 5.5 quart size allows me to cook larger quantities.

Having a good choice of great recipes is all you need, and what's great about a Crock pot is it's extremely versatile. You can experiment with recipes from the internet, or you can dig up some of your old-time favorites.One of my all time favorite cookbooks for crock pot recipes has been Fix-it and Forget-It!

Every Lavish Cheapskate Should Have a Rice Steamer!
Having a rice steamer for meal planning and The Quick Grab Concept is a frugal money saver, time saver, and a great way to make meals in minutes.In addition, brown rice has many benefits that standard white rice doesn't have. I have found that my rice steamer does a great job making perfect brown rice every time. With the internet, you can google rice recipes and find a plethora of choices to meal plan. Many Rice Steamers may seem a flimsy, but I found one that has a lid that snaps shut and cooks up 8 cups of rice. It also has inserts to steam vegetables and cook other foods in addition to rice. The rice steamer I use in my kitchen is
The Aroma Cool Touch Rice Cooker and Steamer.
