Shoppers confirm that the essential kitchen appliance is extremely simple to use with its basic low and high cook settings, plus a warming feature that keeps food at the right temperature until you’re ready to eat. Perfect for beginners and pros alike, reviewers say it’s “simple, yet the best” and credit the reliable design for making it last “twice as long.” What makes this slow cooker better than the rest for potlucks, football parties, and book clubs is its “game-changer” gasket lid that seals the food inside, while its locking latches on the side hold the lid in place. It also is designed with two ergonomic plastic handles for easy carrying. This way, you can bring just-made food right in the slow cooker without transferring the food to storage containers, or even waiting for it to cool down. Just take note: Shoppers advise not locking the lid while cooking your food, which can shatter the glass lid due to its high heat. And for anyone who hates dirty cleanup, listen up. The Crockpot is designed with a removable stoneware insert that’s easy to wipe down and wash. In fact, both the stoneware and the lid can be tossed in the dishwasher, taking one more chore off your plate. People have made creamy soups, hearty stews, chili, barbecue chicken, beef stroganoff, pulled pork, and the list goes on and on. Some shoppers even call it their “kitchen’s bestie” and admit that they don’t remove it off their countertop because they “use this Crockpot constantly.” “You’re gonna love the cost and quality of this one,” writes another. “I love the cook, carry, and go feature of this Crockpot. I made a dish to take to a friend’s house the other day and it came out perfect. When we were ready to leave the house, I just had to secure the lid and away we went with a nice hot dish. The whole unit works great.”
