Best slow cookers to buy
Best slow cooker 2022: top buys from our appliance experts
(Image credit: Crock Pot)
Slow cookers are perfect for warm and hearty meals the moment temperatures start to drop, but don't think they're designed just for stews and soups: the latest models can steam cook, bake cakes and even make yogurt.
And while many of you will be shopping for a slow cooker that can deliver hands-free, family-sized meals, there are models that can deliver single or smaller serves, too.
We've trialled the best slow cookers you can buy from the top brands, from Crock-Pot, Hamilton Beach, and Cuisinart and more – no duds here. Many are multi-cookers that can pressure cook and roast as well, and which you'll also find in our guide to the best Instant Pots.
We've rated them for ease of use, functionality, cooking results (of course!), ease of cleaning and versatility. And, as you would expect, how they look and their price are factors, too.

1. Crock-Pot MyTime Slow Cooker

Dishwasher Safe Parts: Yes

No lock-down lid
Why you should buy it: Adjusts cooking time to be ready for your meal time; three settings plus manual.
The very clever Crock-Pot MyTime Slow Cooker can select the type of food you're cooking (meat, poultry, soup, veggies) and the volume (under or over 2 pounds, for example) for automatically adjusted timings and temperatures. You can set the clock and use this to schedule your cooking ahead of time, which is perfect for those four-hour meals that you want to arrive home to without having to be in the house to set the slow cooker into motion in the afternoon.
This really removes the guesswork from cooking, too, but for experienced slow cooker users, there's also the option to tap into manual mode for following recipes of your own.
Size-wise, the six-quart capacity is the perfect middle-ground for making family meals or cooking ahead. Its shape is also well-suited to ribs, pulled pork, and even a whole chicken. It, however, doesn't have a lock-down lid for taking on the go. Its dishwasher-safe stoneware and glass lid makes for easy cleaning.

2. Hamilton Beach Portable 6-Quart Set & Forget Digital Programmable Slow Cooker with Lid Lock, Temperature Probe
Best slow cooker with a temperature probe

-
Display is sort of dim to read
Why you should buy it: A temperature probe adds an extra level of precision; lockable lid for potlucks.
True to its name, this Hamilton Beach slow cooker allows you to Set it and Forget it, until it's time to serve. However, as well as the program mode, which is really useful for when you're otherwise occupied, there's the probe mode, and manual mode, for more experienced slow cook chefs.
More about the probe mode: if you're cooking a big piece of meat, this function really comes into its own; simply insert the probe, set the meat temperature you want to reach and once it's there, the slow cooker will automatically switch to 'keep warm' mode so that you don't over (or under) cook your meal.
One note: there's no delay start feature if you're looking to time the start of your recipe to dinner time, but it can cook or keep food warm for up to 14 hours, which we found just as convenient.

-

Why you should buy it: Lots of useful settings for making everything from stew to bread, and everything in between. Svelte design and easy-to-use controls.
What can't this sophisticated-looking multi-cooker accomplish? Choose from slow cook, sear/sauté, steam, keep warm, sous vide, braise, bake, and proof. It also multi-functions as a Dutch oven (you can see our list of the best Dutch ovens if that's piqued your interest in those, too), with a removable oven-safe cooking pot to finish off recipes for a delightful crisp, and plays double duty as an elegant serving dish.
It also features unique cooking technology that sends heat from the bottom and the sides for all-over even heating and releases steam to keep contents juicy.
This roomy 8.5qt. is great for cooking up large batches of chili or It comes with a recipe book too to inspire you on what to cook.

The shape won't work for some cuts of meat
Why you should buy it: Oven-safe ceramic insert that also works on electric and gas cooktops; great quality.
Foodies like our testing team will love this slow cooker because you can remove the cooking pot to brown or sear food on your cooktop before slow cooking, or put the ceramic insert into the oven, perhaps if you're putting a dish in the oven to brown.
We think the finish is undeniably high-quality, with simple but tactile controls and a dial to set the timer. There are three settings: high, low, and a keep-warm mode, too.
The capacity is a mid-size 5.3 quarts, but the circular shape means the Calphalon Digital Sauté Slow Cooker is not suited to some cuts of meat such as turkey and pork shoulder. For chuck meat and chicken though, it's perfect, and its non-stick coating makes it easy to clean, too.

5. Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker

Specifications
Dimensions: 13.38" x 12.2" x 12.48"

Can be intimidating to use
Why you should buy it: a great slow cooker that's a pressure cooker too.
While it's not cheap, for a slow cooker with 14 cooking modes, we think the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker is immensely good value. You can sauté your onions and beef before putting on the pressure cooker lid for some slow-cooked casserole.
There are modes for soup, stew, and chili, but there are also inserts to steam veggies and fish or pressure-cook meat for speedy meals. We loved that you can set your Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker to cook in advance, with a 24-hour timer that will ensure you come home to a hot meal or even wake up to some fresh-cooked oatmeal.
The dishwasher-safe bowl and lid also make cleaning amazingly straightforward.

Why you should buy it: A family-sized buy at a no nonsense price.
If you love bringing your culinary creations to cookouts and family gatherings, the BLACK+DECKER 7-Quart Digital Slow Cooker is for you. It has a generous 7-quart capacity and the stoneware pot can go in the dishwasher.
You can cook up your mac and cheese, pulled pork, or chili in advance of an event and take it along in the BLACK+DECKER 7-Quart Digital Slow Cooker. Simply clip on the lid and it will be secure, even in the car.
It's also well-suited to serving because there is an in-built lid holder that means you can prop it open while people pile their plates high, and then hygienically place the lid back on the stoneware pot.
The chalkboard exterior is a unique perk, and you get two sticks of chalk included, which means you can write your recipe, or make a note of when you need to switch it off, with ease.

A bulky choice
Why you should buy it: Perfect for one-dish meals.
The Cuisinart MSC-800 Cook Central 4-in-1 Multi-Cooker has the dimensions of a roasting tray, which means it's an excellent buy for complete, one-dish meals and generous servings.
There are four modes in this slow cooker, and you can brown or saute meat and veggies without even having to take out the insert.
The roasting temperature ranges from 250°F to 450°F, and there is a reversible roasting/steaming rack for added versatility, plus you can steam and brown up to 500°F.
A retractable cord means the Cuisinart MSC-800 will not clutter up your counters. When the cooking is over, the lid and pot are dishwasher-safe.

The pot is not non-stick
Why you should buy it: Perfect for cooking ribs or large cuts of meat.
It has four settings: low, medium, high, and keep warm. The keep warm setting is ideal for keeping your meal at a safe temperature so that it's ready to eat as soon as you are ready. With a digital timer for fully adjustable dishes, this slow cooker will show you exactly how long is left for your meal.
The ceramic dish is dishwasher-safe, which will mean you're in for an easy cleanup. The glass lid can also go in the dishwasher, and it is perfect for keeping a watchful eye on your meal as it cooks.
The dish is not non-stick, so it may cause some sticking at the sides of the pot for stews and curries.

The most expensive choice
Why you should buy it: One of the smartest and most luxurious slow cookers on the market. For those who take slow cooking seriously, it's got everything you could ask for.
You can cook rice, sear and saute meat, and even sous vide with the Wolf Gourmet slow cooker. It has a deep insert, meaning you could sous vide a wide range of items at any one time.
The classic red dial will allow you to select from manual settings as well as digital preset programs, too.
The stainless steel insert can be used on induction hobs, in the oven, and can go in the dishwasher. That's a win because it's not non-stick. On the plus side, the stainless steel material will make searing easy and pack in heaps of flavor.

Should you buy a digital or a manual slow cooker?
Something to consider when buying a slow cooker is whether you’d prefer a digital or manual option.
A digital slow cooker will give you more control, allowing you to set timers and automatically switch to keep-warm settings.
If you don’t mind a slow cooker that requires a little more monitoring, a manual slow cooker will cost far less than its digital counterpart, and will still offer you numerous heat levels and a keep warm setting to keep your meal warm even if it’s finished cooking before dinner.
A slow cooker will turn hands-on recipes with plenty of preparation into speedy tasks that are finished at the touch of a button. While some of our top picks, from the likes of Calphalon, Cuisinart, and KitchenAid, come with smart digital controls, there are also manual options that can often be less expensive but do require more supervision as they will not switch off automatically.
In our guide, we’ve included both manual and digital slow cookers. While manual slow cookers are cheaper, they cannot be set on a timer or automatically switch to keep warm settings when done cooking, which means they need more supervision. Most slow cookers offer three heat settings – low, high, and keep warm, but some high-end digital slow cookers come with more features. For example, the Calphalon Digital Sauté has an oven-safe cooking pot that allows you to sear and oven-cook ingredients before slow cooking. This allows you to pack in the flavor and seal the moisture in your meat while still keeping your meals one-pot and easy to clean.

12 Best Slow Cookers of 2022
We updated this story in October 2022 to ensure all products were available and that pricing was accurate. We also added information on what to consider before purchasing a slow cooker as well as new picks from Instant Brands and GreenPan.
The tried-and-true slow cooker is a huge help in the kitchen. This freestanding cooking appliance allows food to be cooked at a low and steady temperature, similar to braising in a Dutch oven, and its set-it-and-forget-it style leaves you free to do other things — and use your stovetop or oven for other things. A good slow cooker produces such flavorful meals that our test kitchen loves using one to create recipes for lunch, dinner and everything in between, whether that’s slow cooker chicken recipes or a pot roast or BBQ jackfruit.
To choose these top-tested slow cookers, the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab cooked chicken soup and beef stew. We assessed the cookers’ ability to maintain temperatures on both high and low settings, checked the doneness and flavor of the recipes, considered how reduced liquids were over time and factored in whether or not you can brown foods right in the slow cooker’s pot. If the machine included an app or probe, we assessed that as well.

How we test slow cookers
Philip Friedman
During our side-by-side analysis, our culinary experts tested slow cookers by making beef stew and chicken soup. We made more than 100 servings of stew and cooked up 30 whole chickens.
We checked for good temperature control and consistency during cooking by measuring the temperature of the food and liquid throughout the cooking process. We inserted thermocouples (sensors that measure temperature) into the breasts and thighs of whole chickens, which then transmit data to temperature-tracking software on a laptop. We also put probe thermometers in the cooking liquid as well.
Not only that, but we tested each cooker's heat-distribution ability to see if there were hot spots (when parts of food cook faster than others). We do this by coating the pot with shortening and a thin layer of flour and then heating the slow cooker until the flour browns; the level of browning is then evaluated against a standardized chart.
Furthermore, we evaluate each slow cooker’s design, safety features and ease of use without the help of an instruction manual. We also assess the “keep warm” function, meat tenderness and flavor development of dishes. What we found out impressed us: Traditional slow cookers performed well and were consistent. Pressure cooker models that have slow cook features did well also, but with slightly lower scores.
What to consider when shopping for a slow cooker
✔️Capacity: The main thing to consider is the size of the pot and how large a batch you generally cook. Slow cooker pots can range from as small as 1½ quarts to as large as 10 quarts, so you can find the size that suits your household.
✔️ Footprint: Consider how much space this appliance will take up on your countertop. Is it too tall to fit under your cabinets? Will it hog an entire shelf if you store it out of sight? These are all things to keep in mind before you buy.
✔️Functions: Time to consider bells and whistles: Will your slow cooker let you brown right in the pot? Can you use the appliance solely to slow cook, or will you be able to sear, cook rice, air fry, pressure cook or sous vide as well? We loved models that came with a temperature probe that allows you to monitor the internal temperature of foods without opening the lid. We also recommend an automatic “keep warm” setting that usually holds your cooked food at 165°F, which is above the food-safe temperature of 145°F but won't overcook the food.
✔️Apps and programmable slow cookers: Some slow cookers can be paired with smartphone apps that allow you to set the time and temperature; some will include recipes with ingredient lists and step-by-step instructions. Others have a “delay start” feature that allows you to start cooking without physically pressing any buttons. This is very handy, but we don’t recommend using this feature for longer than two hours, especially when cooking with meat; according to the FDA, when food sits out at room temperature for more than two hours, bacteria starts to increase exponentially, putting you at risk for illness.
What’s the difference between a slow cooker and a Crockpot?
This is kind of a trick question! All Crockpots are slow cookers, but not all slow cookers are Crockpots. "Crockpot" is the brand name of a successful line of slow cookers from Sunbeam Products, Inc. Much in the way that "Kleenex" has become shorthand for facial tissue, people use the term "Crockpot" to refer broadly to slow cookers. As you'll see from our list, there are actually many manufacturers of slow cookers out there.
There is, however, one difference in cooking method: Crockpots and crockpot-style cookers generally have a ceramic pot inside a base with a heating element that wraps around the pot. Slow cookers that are not crockpot-style are more likely to have a metal pot and a heating element on the bottom only. These may be able to offer a browning function, whereas Crockpots and crockpot-style cookers usually do not.

Top best multicookers: rating 2021-2022
The multicooker has become an indispensable assistant in the kitchen. It saves time and simplifies food preparation while preserving the beneficial properties of the products. Thinking about buying it is easy to get lost in a variety of models. Our top multicookers will help you decide on the choice of your particular model. To buy a multicooker inexpensively and not be disappointed, pay attention to the following criteria:
- cup size and finish;
- heating element power;
- number of programs;
- device control methods;
- additional options.
For a small family, a 5L bowl is needed, but for one person, 2. 5L will be sufficient. Ease of use and maintenance will depend on the design of the multicooker. The power and types of programs should be selected depending on the dishes that are prepared most often. Also, such a device can combine the functions of a pressure cooker, double boiler, bread machine, yogurt maker or deep fryer. Some modern models are controlled from a smartphone or voice commands. If necessary, focus on the presence of a delayed start, timer, lock and display. nine0003

For a family of two, a 2.5-liter bowl is suitable, for three or four family members it is better to cook in a 3-4.5-liter container, and if the number of users is larger, the volume should be 5 liters or more.

As a rule, for a family of four, a device with a capacity of four to six liters is enough. PowerModern multicookers have power from 450 to 1400 W. Like most electrical appliances, devices can be compared based on their power. If you plan to use the multicooker every day, choose with a power of 900 W or more. If you are considering a slow cooker for infrequent use and have the time, a device with a lower power will do. Pressure settingsChanging the pressure affects the amount of cooking time for different foods (the higher the pressure, the faster). Note that if you are choosing a multicooker with high pressure capabilities, it is important to check that the model has a tight-fitting lid and steam release valve. Inner liningThe material of the multicooker also plays an important role in the selection. Most devices have a non-stick coating. However, the quality of non-stick coatings varies greatly. Look for a coating that has thicker walls. It is often characterized by a "marble" appearance, indicating better heat resistance. FeaturesSome multicooker models include additional features to make your work in the kitchen easier. |
