For many, crock pots are identified as those things that create the best beef stew mom’s ever made. In reality, they’re a countertop electrical cooking appliance that slow cooks and simmers your food. They serve as a fast, convenient and tasty way to make dinner when in a pinch, which over 60 million Americans currently rely on. Now thanks to iCookbook, finding recipes for the No. one original brand of slow-cookers is easier than ever via voice activation.

iCookbook’s CROCK-POT Recipes serves as the official app for the original brand of CROCK-POT Slow Cookers. This is essentially every tech-savvy mom’s new best friend, as it provides more than 250 delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes for your slow cooker, even offering free monthly bonus recipes, appetizers and desserts. Users can even add their own recipes to the mix.

While you’d normally think getting dirty is the least enticing aspect of putting together a delectable recipe, iCookbook instantly makes it the best. Users won’t have to worry about making a mess when cooking using the CROCK-POT Recipes app, as it’s voice-activated. Users need only stand in their phone’s proximity and verbally request certain apps to check out new and delicious meals. With this hands-free alternative, users will essentially never have to dirty their device’s screen while going through the entire step-by-step instructional process of cooking – from managing timers to viewing notes and more.

This new voice-activated app is available for $3.99 from the App Store and is compatible with the iPhone (News - Alert) 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPHone 5, iPod touch (third and fifth generation) and the iPad.
