Why They’ll Love It

We all know that Slow Cookers are the set-it-and-forget-it lifesavers of the appliance world. And – speaking from experience – when you’ve just gotten married, you do NOT have the energy to whip up a super elaborate, hands-on meal. You’re probably exhausted, vegetating on the couch, going through the emotional withdrawals that follow the biggest weekend of your life, and powering through those thank-you notes. 

The Elite Slow Cooker was perfect for me and my husband in the post-wedding postpartum – it kept us fed and fortified, saving us from a full-on Uber Eats addiction. And, several months later, we continue to be lazy cooks, and this slow cooker continues to be a total workhorse in our kitchen. We’ve made everything from turkey chili… to eggplant parm… to BBQ chicken sandwiches… to melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon rolls!

More Than a Pretty Face

The Elite 6-Quart Slow Cooker happens to be cute. (I love my neutral Clay color; I also have my eye on the Sage!) Is it the cutest slow cooker you’ll ever meet? Maybe not – there are certainly cookware brands out there that prioritize Instagrammable aesthetics over function. GreenPan is a bit more serious. If you didn’t know, they were the first ever to make non-toxic, non-stick ceramic cookware – and all of their items, from pots and pans to electrics, are free of dangerous forever chemicals like PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium. They’re also extremely sturdy and designed to last a loooooong time. 

Here are my favorite features, in no particular order:

• Cooks up to a whopping 24 hours
• Reaches a maximum temperature of 400 degrees
• Free of PFAS!!! (It bears emphasizing; some of those trendy, Instagrammable cookware brands cannot claim the same.)
• In-pan browning capabilities- no need to brown meat in a pan and then transfer!
• Silicone side handles for moving the pot with ease
• 4 simple settings: Slow Cook, Roast, Brown/Sauté, and Steam
• Comes with a steamer for cooking up dumplings or even crawfish (I recently hosted a New Orleans-themed Mardi Gras party, and this came in handy!) 
• Tempered glass lid so you can keep an eye on what you’re cooking

But the thing that made me fall in love (yes, love!) with this slow cooker was how easy it is to clean! Thanks to a diamond-infused coating – futuristically named “Thermolon Volt” – the Elite 6-Quart Slow Cooker is mercifully nonstick. Not only does it wipe up easily in the sink, the pot is also dishwasher safe!

Go Slow

Sometimes the thing you’d planned to give your friend or loved one… ends up being the perfect gift for yourself. (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought my mom a necklace and realized it was actually more *my* style.) If you’re having this exact experience re: GreenPan’s Slow Cooker, no judgment!
