I love this slow cooker – I’ve had it for years and years and it (still) cooks beautifully!

If you’ve got a slow cooker that “runs hot,” or just isn’t cooking right, I HIGHLY suggest switching to this one!

I get emails every week asking about the best slow cooker and why slow cooker food is nasty and why the meat is dry. The problem is your slow cooker. 

I highly recommend that a slow cooker have the following features:

  • Programmable to the half hour
  • Well tempted with a leveled “warm setting”
  • Auto-switch to warm setting after cooking cycle is complete
  • Crock-Pot brand (because I’ve tried others and they just don’t cook evenly or the same – at least at my house!)

The one I recommend is programmable to the half hour, cooks very well and has a well temped and leveled “warm setting” too.

Also, I wanted to add…you will see MANY MANY great options and deals for slow cookers and non-Crockpot brand slow cookers. The price might be great, but my guess is the quality and way that it cooks your food will be “off.” I do not at all recommend getting any slow cooker with a “dial switch” – where you turn the dial. It just won’t cook right.

Spending a little more on a quality slow cooker that cooks well but won’t ruin your dinner is the wiser purchase!
