When it comes to slow cookers, I am a huge fan! While I have 2 large and 2 small, the one I use most often and what I believe to be the best programmable crock pot, is the 6 Quart Cook & Carry Programmable Slow Cooker with Digital Timer.
I believe that every kitchen should have a slow cooker in it and here is why- the crock pot is invaluable when it comes to busy cooks, entertaining, comfort foods and meal prep. There are endless possibilities to the meals you can make in a slow cooker and for most of them, all you have to do is set it and forget and tasty, tender results.
Why this is the Best Programmable Crock-Pot Slow Cooker
The Crock Pot 6 Quart Cook & Carry Programmable Slow Cooker with Digital Timer makes the top of my list for a few reasons. First is usability. The easy to use digital display lets you set cook times anywhere from 30 minutes to 20 hours, and when the time is up, it automatically switches to warm mode so your food stays hot until you’re ready to eat. (This makes it really useful when serving a crowd, such as on game day or at a gathering.) Next is simple- it’s cooks really well! Everything always comes out perfect when using this slow cooker. unlike some others that run too hot, or not hot enough. Crock pot has been the leading brand of slow cookers for decades and its really no wonder why.
Choosing the Right Size Slow Cooker
Crock pots comes in a verity of sizes, but I find the 6-quart to be the most useful. Its fits everything just right– a whole chicken, a shoulder of pork, a batch of stew and more. This is the size I reach for above all others and in my opinion, is the most versatile.
