Fix-It and Forget-It

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and we already wish we had a bigger kitchen. One oven just isn’t big enough when we’re trying to make turkey, sweet potatoes, stuffing, green beans, and pie. No matter how often we arrange and rearrange the baking dishes in our oven, there’s not enough room for all the food.

But since remodeling the kitchen isn’t really an option, we’re pulling out our slow cookers—every single one we’ve got. Using our slow cookers will free up the oven a bit and makes it easier for us to get everything finished and on the table at the same time. Now we’re not stressing about the Green Bean Casserole or the Fruity Sweet Potatoes. We can throw all the ingredients into our slow cookers and forget about those parts of the meal until dinner is served.

We’re pretty thankful for our slow cookers at this time of year and we think maybe you are too. That’s why we’re giving away the Hamilton Beach 5½ Quart Slow Cooker and the Duo Cook and Serve Crock-Pot to one (1) lucky, random winner!

The best feature of the Hamilton Beach 5½ Quart Slow Cooker—and why we love using it over the holidays—is that the removable stainless steel crock is stovetop safe. That means you can brown meat or onions and garlic in this crock right on the stove and then place the crock straight into the slow cooker! Anything that cuts back on the pots and pans we need to wash after our big meal is just fine with us.

It also has a stainless steel exterior, a glass lid, and a warm setting that keeps food nice and hot without overcooking it.

We think the Duo Cook and Serve Crock-Pot is a life saver, especially on Thanksgiving Day. Each slow cooker is 2.5 quarts, which we think is just the right size for making appetizers or desserts like Hot Beef Dip or Chocolate Fondue.

Though they come as a pair, these Crock-Pots act as individuals. Each has its own setting, each crock can be removed separately, and each comes with its own serving spoons. The crocks are also dishwasher safe.

(Hamilton Beach and Crock-Pot don’t know how much we love using these slow cookers during the holidays or that we’re giving these away.)
