Most of the Fix-It and Forget-It kids started back to school this week. That means new schedules and more activities to juggle. It also means that getting dinner on the table in a timely manner can be even more challenging than usual.
We’d like to ease the dinner-time crunch for one lucky responder by giving away an All-Clad slow cooker. This 6.5-quart programmable slow cooker features High and Low settings, and automatically switches to Keep Warm when time elapses. That means dinner is ready when you are. The removable black ceramic insert provides gentle uniform heat to create richly flavored soups, stews, casseroles, and braised meats. Both the insert and the tempered glass lid are dishwasher-safe.
(All-Clad doesn’t know that we’re giving away this slow cooker.)
