Check out the savings on these Crock-Pot slow cookers at Amazon as of Oct. 4.
There’s no denying it — we are currently living in the month of October. This simple fact could spur you to spiral about the passage of time this year (valid), or it could spur you to embrace the cooler weather, throw on your favorite sweater, and enjoy a hearty meal while you spiral about the passage of time this year (extremely cozy and valid). And arguably, there are few better ways to prepare a hearty and cozy meal than with a slow cooker.
As of Oct. 4, two Crock-Pot slow cookers are on sale at Amazon for up to 35% off. These Black Friday level-deals on this classic slow cooker brand may also serve as a reminder that the holiday season is fast approaching. If that sentence just caused you to break out into a cold sweat — you’re not alone — and now is a great time to remember that slow cookers are the foundation of many a low-effort, high-reward dinner recipe. I’m talking chilis, soups, fall-off-the-bone meat, and more with minimal prep in the mornings.
So whether you’re replacing an old model or are purchasing your first slow cooker as an Actual Adult Rite of Passage, you’ll want to take a look at these Crock-Pot models.
At first glance, the appeal of the humble programmable slow cooker might not jump out at you. But much like the way this appliance cooks food, the more time you spend with it, the better it gets. Did you know that eight quarts of space means you can prepare food for over 10 people? Imagine the possibilities for families and master meal-preppers alike. Plus, if you’re someone who always finds themselves inexplicably busy right around dinner time, the slow cooker allows you to prep your meals waaaay in advance, so you can throw your ingredients in it in the morning, press a couple buttons, and reap the benefits later that day. Yes, it may take up a bit of space and it may not be the highest-tech appliance out there, but its a great way to feed many mouths and make your home smell incredible all day long.
With how hectic this time of the year can get, a Crock-Pot with a bit more functionality than your grandma’s slow cooker can really come in handy. Since we are living in 2021, of course Crock-Pot’s got you covered with a six-quart slow cooker that’s compatible with Alexa. Through any Alexa-enabled device, including your phone and tablet, you can program cook times, adjust heat settings, and check the status of your dish. So no more stopping dead in your tracks while you’re out running errands, wondering if you accidentally ruined that roast by pressing the wrong temperature setting at 7:30 that morning.
Though this model is a bit smaller, six quarts is still plenty of room to make up to seven servings. The main drawback is that this slow cooker is only Alexa-compatible, so don’t expect to bring this home and have it vibe with your Google Home or Apple HomePod just yet.
