Favorite Slow Cookers
If you’re in the market for a slow cooker, I recommend the following:
6-Quart Cook & Carry Programable is great if you plan to transport it because there’s a locking lid which is extremely handy if you’re driving with a full Crock-Pot.
7-Quart Crock-Pot that’s what I like to refer to as the “no frills” machine. Nothing to program or obsess over - just high, low, and keep warm settings. This unit is almost under $50 bucks (today it’s $44.99 although prices vary).
8-Quart Crock-Pot in Red or Black if you need a BIG machine for big family gatherings, events or meals. All my recipes below are designed to fit in a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker but of course you can cook it in a larger machine like this.
Ninja Multicooker is great for recipes that first call for searing or browning meat on the stovetop and then transferring it into your slow cooker. With a unit like this, it’s all done here which is handy and can save steps and dishes.
