It’s been nearly 20 years since Ree Drummond started blogging about life on the ranch and whipping up comfort food. So at this point, it’s safe to say that The Pioneer Woman knows a thing or two about feeding a bunch of hungry kids and cowboys. And she’s never afraid to admit it’s okay to take a few shortcuts here and there to get food on the table!
One of Ree’s favorite methods to save time and effort is the slow cooker. It’s just so convenient! The low and slow action does all the work for you, which is perfect for those days when you’re so busy with everything else. "My favorite slow cooker recipes are ones where you literally throw in the ingredients, turn it on, and walk away," Ree explains. Then you simply come back for dinner!
Busy season coincides with cozy season, so your slow cooker really is a no-brainer when it comes to getting a comforting dinner on the table. And if you’re looking for a new appliance or need to replace your old one that has seen better days, you’ll be happy to hear that The Pioneer Woman slow cookers are back in stock at Walmart. Perfect timing, if you ask us!
All of the slow cooker options feature a sizable six-quart capacity and a programmable touchscreen display for easy time and temperature adjustments. They offer precision control with three settings: low or high for cooking, and warm to keep the food at the right temperature until you’re ready to eat.
And probably the best feature of the slow cookers is the handles that lock and keep the lid in place so there are no spills. That means whether you’re headed to a potluck, en route to a tailgate, or simply carrying your meal to the table to serve, you don’t have to stress about the insides sloshing around. The removable stoneware crock and glass lid are also dishwasher-safe, so cleaning up is as easy as cooking.
Think of all the comforting soups, easy weeknight chicken dinners, and cozy beef suppers you can make all year long. It’s the ultimate make-ahead meal prep appliance. It also makes freezer-friendly meals you can stash away for later. And honestly, the hardest decision isn’t what you’re going to make. It’s which of the pretty colors suits you and your kitchen best!
