Why a 7-quart Crock-Pot is handy for Thanksgiving
Anyone hosting Thanksgiving knows kitchen space can disappear quickly. Between the turkey, stuffing, casseroles and pies, finding room for one more dish in the oven can become a challenge.
That's where a slow cooker comes in handy.
This 7-quart Crock-Pot gives you another place to cook Thanksgiving favorites without taking up another burner or squeezing another pan into the oven. Its capacity can serve more than nine people and is large enough to fit a 7-pound roast.
The slow cooker has high and low settings as well as a warm function, which can help keep food at serving temperature. The set-it-and-forget-it design also means you don't have to constantly monitor what's cooking.
Thanksgiving dishes that lend themselves to a slow cooker include:
- Mashed potatoes
- Stuffing
- Mac and cheese
- Sweet potatoes
- Green beans
- Soups
- Dips
- Turkey breast
- Spinach-artichoke dip

Cleanup is easy after Thanksgiving dinner
After a big holiday meal, the last thing anyone wants is another pile of dishes.
One-pot cooking can help cut down on cleanup, and both the Crock-Pot's removable stoneware and lid are dishwasher safe. The removable stoneware can also go in the microwave or an oven up to 400 degrees.
That versatility can be especially useful when you're juggling several Thanksgiving dishes at once.
A $35 Crock-Pot can be useful beyond Thanksgiving
The slow cooker doesn't have to disappear into a cabinet once Thanksgiving dinner is over.
Its 7-quart capacity makes it a practical size for cooking larger batches of cold-weather comfort food or preparing enough dinner to leave leftovers for another meal.
Recipes that work well in a large slow cooker include:
- Beef stew
- Pot roast
- Chicken tortilla soup
- Pulled pork
- Buffalo chicken dip
- White chicken chili
At $35, this Crock-Pot deal arrives just as kitchens get busier for Thanksgiving and the rest of the holiday season.
