what a crock
I’m no chef, but when push comes to shove, I can cook. My secret weapon–not so secret as much as it is lazy–is the slow cooker. Last night, I braised a whole chicken, then used its stock and shredded meat to make a wicked chipotle chicken chili. All in one pot.
My criteria for a slow cooker are few: it must have multiple settings (high, low, warm); it must look good sitting out on the counter; it must be big enough to evenly cook an entire meal (proteins and side dishes); and it must contain a dishwasher-safe insert.
So I’m picky.
This Hamilton version is only $40, and contains all these features, plus a handy lock-top (hence the Stay-or-Go name) and wraparound heating (usually only available in more expensive models).
And unless you’re Octomom, 6 quarts means you’ll have leftovers for ages.
