Classic Original Slow Cooker 7-Quart
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Dead-simple design means nothing to break
The Crock-Pot slow cooker is a BIFL legend thanks to one of the subreddit's most beloved posts: a user's 1997 wedding gift Crock-Pot outlasted the marriage but is still going strong. The simple design with minimal electronics means there's almost nothing to break. The stoneware insert distributes heat evenly for perfect all day cooking.
