Did you know? (You knew.) It's the era of the slow cooker.
Don't have one? Find one on Amazon! They carry a HUGE array of slow cookers. Choose from brands like Crock-Pot, Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart, Proctor Silex, and more, in a variety of feast-appropriate sizes (from 2-quart cookers for the single chef, to 8-quart pots for family meals, potlucks, or entertaining).
