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.

We like to bring deviled eggs to family dinners. But those are no good in a crock pot. ๐ So I’ll say anything pasta in a crockpot is excellent too. I also shared on facebook. Thanks!
Baked Beans!
I like to take crock pot mac and cheese to potlucks. Everyone loves it!
I love to bring hash brown casserole. It is a tried and true favorite at parties and holidays.
Mac and Cheese!Yummers…
that crock pot would come in so handy as I take alot of things to functions in a crockpot.
Our office has “crock pot Mondays” we take turns bringing lunch for the entire office every Monday.
I have brought stews, soups, lasagne, pretty much anything that can be cooked in my oven has been taken to work for Monday lunch with my co-workers.
This style of crock pot would definately come in handy as I am usually juggling my crock pot, salad fixings and desert to get into the office.
I love to bring meatballs, sausages and tomato sauce to pot lucks. I never have any to bring home.
I like to bring crock pot chicken wings to parties.
I take a chicken and noodle casserole. All ages like it!!
I love to take buffalo chicken dip to parties, but for family holidays it’s filled with mashed potatoes or gravy
I like to take my famous chicken casserole to our church/family dinners. It’s easy to make and everyone loves it.
My bean-less chili with beer and tequila is one of my most asked for crock pot dishes.
pasta, beans, soups
Pulled pork
I love the website and would love to have another crockpot for going to parties. I usually make my mac n cheese in a crockpot for parties.
I like to take soup to parties. I love my slow cookers!
The potluck recipe that I am always asked to bring in is one that has only 2 ingredients and requires no actual talent for cooking. Kielbasa slices in apple juice. That’s it. For some reason everyone loves it. I make about 2-3 meals a week in a crock pot but this one is my most requested. Go figure!
I will be sharing this on my pinteres account as well since I pin tons of crock pot recipes there! ๐
I called my daughter and shared
to a potluck I like to bring pulled pork. I season it well, wrap it in foil and put in the crockpot on low for 6-7 hours. Cooks in it’s own juices….yummy! Doesn’t even need BBQ sauce.
I work in an office with 4 women and I just shared this post with them. I’m thinking they will all sign up!
I make cheesy potatoes to take to all potlucks & family gatherings.
Whenever we have a death in the family, I always take my large crock pot full of green beans, potatoes and smoked sausage. This new crock pot would make it much easier to transport.
Mashed Potatoes seem to be what is chosen for me, and this would be wonderful for transport.
Pea soup or beef stew
Love to take baked beans
