We only get to say this once in four years: it is February 29th! It seems like a special day, like we should do something to remember it. Make a cake? Have a special meal? Maybe coffee with a special friend?

Or, what about giving a 6-Quart All-Clad Slow Cooker to one lucky, random winner?!?

The best feature of this wonderful slow cooker is its 3-setting programmable timer. Set the timer to high or low as specified by your recipe, and then program in the number of hours the food should cook. When the timer beeps, the slow cooker automatically changes to the warm setting. This keeps food nice and hot without overcooking it. So, have that coffee with a friend while your leap-year meal is cooking at home.

(All-Clad doesn’t know that we’re celebrating leap year by giving away their convenient slow cooker.)
