win this proctor-silex slow cooker!

My name is Brett, and I’m addicted to my slow cooker.

The fact that you can throw just about anything into that pot, fire it up before you go to work, and come home to a perfectly cooked meal seems like magic to me, and it’s given me new-found confidence in the kitchen (which is a miracle in itself).

So how do you improve on this meal-making marvel?

Proctor Silex has cooked up a release that’s ideally-suited for the summer. They’re petite, 1.5-quart slow cookers (making them great for pot-luck-size servings of warm sides, appetizers, fondue and dips) that are completely portable, fitted with a gasket lid that seals tight with a patented Lid Latch strap (no slopping en route to the picnic!). What’s more, they’ve got little slots in the front for you to insert labels, so no one at the party has to guess the contents. (Always a scary endeavour.)
