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.

Love taking baked beans. Crowd pleaser. Always all gone.
I LOVE TO TAKE SLOW COOKER CHILI TO FAMILY GATHERINGS.
Green beans in warm weather, loaded potato soup in Fall and Winter.
I love using my slow cooker for potluck family meals
I love your recipes and would love to get another crock pot. I have 2 very old old ones and would love to have one new one like this one. Thanks.
I am always asked to bring Cheesy Potatoes. I also bring shredded chicken and either a chocolate dump cake or bread pudding.
I am always ask to bring some dip or lava cake or some good to a gathering and it is so easy to pop something in a crock pot and forget it. I have always used a rubber band to hold the lid and cord, but it was a good idea. This would make my life so much easier. Please pick me and give me a little help. lol
thanks
Linda
I love to take chili or john marzetti.
We love to bring our famous meatballs to friends parties.
Taco Soup
I am always asked to bring my potato & cheese soup,or my cheesy potatoes.
I like to make stews.
I also shared on FB.
This would be perfect for my Swiss Chicken Stuffing recipe. Liked on Face book also.
In my new cooker that I win from you, I would make My simplest recipe which is always a hit. Just two ingredients. Family style ribs (the kind with all the meat) and two large cans of baked beans. Spray the cooker with pam, place meat in the bottom and dump the beans on top. Sometimes I add barbque sauce to meat after cooking.
yum!
We just had a chili cook-off at our church during Oct. and it would have been fabulous to use to the Hold and Go Slow Cooker!
My favorite slow cooker recipe to take to Potluck dinners is Mac An Cheese.
Everyone likes my Chicken Cacciatore which I make and take my friends. I am 82 years old but still like to cook. I enjoy your recipes even though I do not make all of them. Keep up the good work.
I like to make chicken tortilla soup.
I like to bring pulled pork mostly, but like to try all kinds of different recipes.
I take casseroles and salads to pot luck dinners.
I love taking slow cooker pulled pork with dollar rolls on the side or yummy spinach artichoke dip! This crick looks amazing and should come live with me in Hawaii!??
Pulled pork yes yes
This looks amazing. I like to take Reuben Dip to parties
I’ve shared this because who doesn’t like to use a crockpot for cooking?!?! The more recipes the merrier! I love to use my crock pot for as many recipes as I can! Some of my favorites are: for breakfast, can’t beat steel cut oatmeal with vanilla, cinnamon, and dried blueberries. For a main dish it’s either Salisbury steak, whole chickens, or beef stroganoff. For desserts, I make a fruit cobbler. And appetizers I love to make a queso and bring the chips! Thank you!
