You might think the slow cooker is an appliance made for the fall and winter months, when you’re craving heavy soups, stews, and braises, but it can be just as useful in the summer for many reasons. One, it doesn’t heat up your kitchen. Yes, you can cook a full roasted chicken without having to suffer through hours of a sweltering kitchen.

We’d rather spend our weekends on the back patio or exploring our hometowns in the sunshine instead of standing over the stove thinking about what’s for dinner. The slow cooker gives you that freedom and makes plenty of summer-friendly dishes. Here are our top 15 summer slow-cooker recipes — from a granola we’re putting on ice cream and yogurt to a pulled pork we’re folding into sandwiches.
