My Mom Says This Now On-Sale Slow Cooker Saves Her So Much Time, I'm Finally Buying It for Myself

My mom has never characterized herself as an enthusiastic home chef. In fact, my dad spent much more time in the kitchen while I was still living at home. But lately, she’s been breaking out her trusty slow cooker twice a week to whip up roasts, soups, and chicken. 

After witnessing just how easy and convenient her slow cooker makes meal prep, I’ve finally decided to invest in one myself now that they’re on sale. Walmart has tons of models—including my mom’s go-to Crock-Pot—up to 50 percent off right now. Ahead, you’ll find the seven options I’m eyeing for my own kitchen from Ninja, Beautiful by Drew Barrymore, and Hamilton Beach.

Crock-Pot 7-Quart Manual Slow Cooker

My mom swears by this classic 7-quart manual slow cooker so much, it’s at the top of my own list. The appliance, which comes in a sleek red stainless steel and black, is large enough to cook for at least eight people—and doesn’t require you to slave over the stove for hours. In fact, my mom says it saves her so much time. She simply tosses in her pot roast (or beef stew, or chicken enchiladas) and lets them cook while she goes about other chores and activities. Plus, the stoneware and lid are dishwasher safe, so you can easily clean up after meal time.

Beautiful by Drew Barrymore 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker

I’m also eyeing Beautiful by Drew Barrymore’s 6-quart programmable slow cooker, which is chic enough to leave on your countertop. The elevated design comes in eight colors and features five preset functions, including meat, poultry, stew, soup, and chili. The touch-activated display is easy to use, while the programmable digital countdown allows you to set the cook time from 30 minutes up to 24 hours. With over 7,300 perfect reviews, it’s safe to say it’s a shopper-loved appliance, too. 

Ninja Foodi 6.5-Quart Everyday PossibleCooker

Ninja Foodi’s 6.5-quart slow cooker offers a six-in-one design that also sears and sautés, warms, and cooks rice and pasta. While compact enough to fit comfortably on your counter, the model also offers family-sized capacity with enough room for four 6-ounce chicken breasts or a 7-pound roast that feeds up to six people. One shopper praised the multi-functional design that makes cooking so much easier,while another person added that it’s fast, efficient, and easy to use.

Chefman 6-Quart Slow Cooker

This slow cooker is one of the most affordable versions at Walmart and it still has over 200 five-star reviews to back it up. Customers said that it’s a great size for families and is just as sturdy and well-made as more expensive models. The glass lid allows you to monitor your food while it’s cooking, and the dishwasher safe ceramic insert makes cleanup easy. It even has a leak-proof seal so you don’t have to worry about unnecessary drips. 

Head over to Walmart to snag my mom’s go-to slow cooker while it’s on sale, or keep scrolling for additional models that are up to 50 percent off.
