7 best slow cooking appliances available on Amazon
Victoria Gagliardo-SilverOct 27, 2020 Getty Images/iStockphoto After long days of work, school, or taking care of the kids, cooking a meal is the last thing on many people's minds. Slow cookers, pressure cookers, and rice cookers make it easier to prepare and cook a meal for yourself or for a family. With so many new convenient cooking items on the market, it can be challenging to know which device you should purchase, so The Independent consulted real world reviews to find the best possible products for you. RELATED: Check out our favorite air fryers here, many. of which include a slow-cooking function for those who want a more all-in-one type machine. Crock-Pot SCCPVL600S Cook' N Carry 6-Quart Oval Manual Portable Slow Cooker Black
CrockPot is a tried and true brand, their reputation as the best slow cooker on the market speaks for itself. This CrockPot model is dishwasher safe and comes equipped with two cooking settings and a keep warm setting. The stoneware insert is also oven and microwave safe. Some reviewers had issues with “exploding lids”, but it seems that stemmed from users locking the lids on during cooking, which is not the intended use. One reviewer says: “This is a good slow cooker. No problems, no exploding lid and I’m still using it a few times a week-heats up like it should, cooks thoroughly, easy-ish to clean. I’ve even transported it with the lid locked and it hasn’t shattered, but I only lock the lid when transporting and unlock when I plug it back in.”
