Crock-Pot ® Smart-Pot® Slow Cooker Giveaway


I am not exaggerating at all when I say that having dinner slow-cooking away in my Crock-Pot ® at 4:00 in the afternoon makes me SO happy. That time of the afternoon is so busy, and thinking about defrosting, chopping, and pan-frying dinner is sometimes enough to just do me in. It makes being a mom SO much easier.

With a little bit of planning, getting a meal into the Crock-Pot ® is easy. Using the slow-cooker is also often cheaper, since slow-cooking tougher (and less expensive) cuts of meat makes them tender and delicious. It’s often healthier, too (if you can avoid recipes using that canned cream-of-whatever concoction) because everything cooks in its own juices.

A friend of mine who has a large family just recently received a Crock-Pot ® from a friend for her seventeenth wedding anniversary. The friend couldn’t believe that Mary had never owned one. And now Mary is a convert. She can’t believe that she lived all these years without one.

Are you like Mary? Uninitiated to the joys of slow cooking?

Or perhaps you are like I was a few months ago. I was thrilled to be able to review the Crock-Pot® Programmable Slow Cooker with Touch Screen Technology (formerly known as the eLume) because after fifteen years, my old one was begging to be replaced.

The model that we are featuring today, the Crock-Pot ® Smart-Pot® Slow Cooker features

  • A large 5.5 quart size (which I appreciate after using my 4 quart model for years, since slow cooked meals also freeze beautifully for a second go-round later in the month)
  • A nice clean white color scheme
  • Dishwasher-safe crock for easy cleaning (because what’s the use in saving time in the kitchen if clean-up is a pain?)
  • A programmable timer which automatically shifts to warm when done (perfect if you are away from home for longer than the ideal cooking time)

Are you motivated to put that slow cooker to good use? Check out the recipes at Crock-pot.com, and enter to win a Crock-Pot ® Smart-Pot® Slow Cooker right here, right now (retail value $34.99).

    I make alot of crock pot meals, Our favorite is my homemade barbecue pulled chicken or beef.
    I have very small crock pots, but won’t do the job so wish I had another big one so that I could be making my meat dish at the same time I make a vegetable or other side dish.

    Thank you so much

    I would love to win this. My crockpot died about a year ago (after 25 years of faithful service) and I would sure like a new one.

    It would be so nice to have a new crock pot. That looks alot nicer than the old one I used to have and mine did not have a programmable feature, what a nice option !

    What an awesome crockpot. I need a new crockpot as my son cracked the lid to it so it’s of no use to me.

    Would love to get a new crockpot. I have a son-in-law that has to leave at 5 am in the morning, and would appreciate a cooked main dish waiting for him and the kids when he gets home.
