The season of stews, pot roasts, and hearty dinners has arrived, and I must say I'm thrilled. Every day I'm grateful to my past self for investing in one of the best slow cookers; there's nothing better than filling my freezer with portions of casserole, soup, and stew for chilly evenings.
If you haven't yet experienced the joys that a slow cooker can bring, I've spotted a deal that's too good to miss. Head to Target and you'll find this rather handsome 6-quart ceramic Crock-Pot, which you can nab for just $38.99 as part of this week's Circle Deals. It's so gorgeous in fact, that I'm seriously considering replacing my relatively new one.
A Crock-Pot is a true countertop hero, and this one is full of handy features. Aside from its gorgeous burgundy hue (which, admittedly, is what first caught my eye), this particular model boasts four presets which allow you to adjust both temperatures and timings. I've been busy collecting slow cooker ideas for fall batch cooking, but even my most beloved recipes would be nothing without a versatile slow cooker like Target's 6-quart ceramic Crock-Pot.
Of course, Crock-Pots aren't just for everyday meal prep, and I can always count on a slow cooker dish to impress when I'm cooking for a crowd. This is where those extra features come in particularly handy, and I was excited to see that Target's 6-quart ceramic Crock-Pot offers an auto-warming function – meaning there's no danger of my casserole going cold before it gets to the table.
I'll be getting plenty of use out of my Crock-Pot ahead of fall parties and Thanksgiving gatherings, but Target's 6-quart ceramic Crock-Pot has reminded me that slow cookers are also ideal if you plan to host a potluck dinner. The Crock-Pot itself comes with a travel-proof locking lid that enables you to transport food without fear of spillages, and you can even pop the ceramic bowl in the oven if you fancy crisping up the contents before serving.
As an avid host, both of these features struck me as especially useful, and I know they'd be appreciated by any home cook (although even the biggest foodies in my life would have just as much to say about how gorgeous this Crock-Pot looks).
Put it this way: I'm devoted to my slow cooker, but I'm also seriously tempted to nab this 6-quart ceramic Crock-Pot at Target before the Circle Week sales wrap up.
