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’m always asked to bring a crockpot of little weenies:)
Favorite Slow Cooker recipe to bring would have to be Lasagna, it is great to cook day ahead and than taste blends wonderfully next day when reheated. Plus that ooey gooey cheese, pasta, sauce and mushrooms-spinach or meat combo is a hit with young and old alike!
Having a crock pot with a carry handle would be delightful, thanks for the chance to get one as use your recipes every week on every chance I get during any given month of the year.
I like to take Calico beans to potlucks. They have such flavor and its so easy to throw together. It’s a great change from baked beans and even teens love it. Thanks for all you do.
I shared the giveaway link on FB. Good luck, cooks!
Crock Pot Lasagna is what I always bring to potluck dinners. And I make your Stuffed Pepper Soup for hubby to bring to the office to share!
Hi! I love bringing dips to work potlucks: queso,
chili, artichoke, all kinds!
This would be perfect for potlucks at the church. I would make creamy mac n cheese to bring, or a big pot of Queso dip!
