Hold and Go Slow Cooker – GIVEAWAY

Do you like to take your slow cooker on the go with you? The makers of the Hold and Go Slow Cooker recently sent me one of their units to give a try and I have to tell you, this baby has been with me to every potluck I have been to since!
Cris here. I have a confession.ย I have a lot of slow cookers…
No really. A LOT.
Now before anyone judges me… I do run a slow cooker website and cook regularly with 3-4 different slow cookers at a time. And, I like to try new features on slow cookers to share them with you… all in the name of being a resource for you. ย **Sigh** It’s a tough job, but someone needs to do it. I am here for you ;). (And yes, I realize those shelves are extremely messy… #RealLife)
So when the folks with the Hold and Go Slow Cooker contacted me and asked if I was willing to give their unit a try, I told them they could send it but that I would only share it with you if I liked it. They accepted the challenge and sent it along. (Note: While I did receive a unit to test, I did not receive any additional payment for this review.)
When it arrived, I was traveling a lot so it sat on my floor, in the box, until one day when my girlfriend called and said she was having some folks over and asked me to bring something… And then I realized I had the perfect opportunity to give this sucker a try.
I threw in the ingredients and didn’t really think a lot more about it. Then it was time to rush out the door. I was carrying my purse, water bottle and three bags of groceries and needed to get the slow cooker to the car when I discovered the ingenious design of the Hold and Go Slow Cooker… it can be carried with one hand. Heck, it can be carried on your arm if need be while carrying additional bags.
And, we aren’t talking carried anxiously teetering on one hand. We are talking securely, swing that puppy around and that lidย ain’t going anywhere kind of one hand.
I was impressed. It was easy to operate and the lid was super secure.
Then, when I got to the party I realized the handle turned into a lid holder.
Brilliant.
Hold and Go Slow Cooker
So what are my pros and cons with this unit?
Cons
- It is not programmable ๐
- With such a brilliant traveling concept, I wish it had a cord winder or a place to wind the cord.
Pros
- The 5 qt size is perfect for a lot of dips and party foods. It also makes carrying with one hand doable.
- That handle is ah-mazing. ONE handed carrying has me sold.
- Love the lid holder.
- The unit we tried cooks true to temperature and isn’t boiling hot on every setting like some units.
- The lid securing levers are super easy to use and are very secure.
The Bottom Line
If you take your slow cooker to potlucks, family gatherings or office parties often, I would not hesitate to recommend the Hold and Go Slow Cooker.

I like to take my hearty baked beans to get togethers!
I would LOVE this!!!!! I take several different foods to potlucks. Goulash, scalloped potatoes and ham, Corn Chowder, Potato and ham soup, and various other soups, cheesey potatoes and of course there are the deserts too. How great would this be to be able to carry with one hand!!! Thanks for the chance!!!
I love making and bringing chicken cassoulet — the longer it cooks, the better it tastes! While I first made it on the stovetop, I love being able to just let the flavors meld in a crock-pot without worrying about it. Add a loaf of bread and everyone’s happy!
Everyone Loves MY Baked Corn i make in old Rival small crockpot!!Sure would be great to win.โบ
My Cheesy Potatoes are always a hit at potlucks!
When I go to a potluck, I usually take my Summer Vegetable Spaghetti. The combination of zucchini, onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes, spaghetti and of course bacon and grated parmesan cheese is a real winner.
I take Italian beef to share with others.
I love Lasagana.. in a crock pot
Ham and Beans are great in the slow cooker.
I have shared this on facebook.
I love to cook pinto beans and carry them to potluck so in my slow cooker.

I have a full time job and own a business with my husband along with two kids. I use my crock pots a lot. This one looks amazing and I would love to try it!!!
Really want to try this crock!!
I love to make buffalo chicken dip, or homemade meatballs in a yummy sauce.
I like to bring hot dips or a great hot crockpot dessert recipe (like Triple Chocolate Mess).I only own one very old 6 qt. crockpot and would LOVE to win this!
I’m with you. You can’t have enough crock pots. I love taking soups and dips to potlucks, friends, etc
I love briniging Broccoli Cornbread, Hash Brown/Sausage Casserole and Chili. The last time I took Chili to church, it ended up spilling all over my vehicle, so I really need this!!!
I take Mac and cheese to pot lucks!
I am currently looking for a new crockpot to travel with! My daughter moved into her first home and wants to host Thanksgiving. That’s great, but she doesn’t cook…yet. So, I will be cooking & transporting Thanksgiving dinner in crockpots. I look forward to trying your turkey breast receipe and sides to go with it!!! So ready for turkey day and this new crock pot would be a lifesaver for me and my family!
White chicken chili (with tomatillos)
Love to bring Swedish meatballs, always a huge hit, they are the first to go! Shared with my daughter Cassie in Iowa. Love your site and all the delish recipes! Thank you!
When going to any event my favorite thing to make in my slow cooker is cranberry sauerkraut meatballs. They are always a hit, and there is never any left to have to take home!!
I love to take Chicken Enchilada Soup to church pot lucks….serve it with a dollop of sour cream and pico de gallo never misses.
Hi, I am a beginner at crockpot cooking. I am a very busy mom of 2. Lots of sports, at least 3-4 nights a week. I have joined your crockpot recipe emails as a start. One of my favorites, my only recipe I’ve done so far, is meatballs cooked in Ragu Spaghetti sauce. Can eat alone or make meatball subs. I look forward to making more family foods in my crockpot and being able to not eating so late at night, and eating out. Thank You for the recipes.

I am an elderly woman and using a slow cooker has made my life so much easier. I like recipes that are
easy to prepare and will feed a family for two or three days like chicken soup. I especially like recipes with gravy base rather than tomato base.
Thank you
