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 always bring BBQ Pulled Pork!
I love making and taking soups in my crockpot. It’s so wonderful to put all the ingredients in the pot, stir, put the lid on and not have to worry about anything until it’s time to get in the car! A crockpot with a secure lid would make going to family gatherings and parties easier!
I am in charge of monthly dinners work. You can never have too many slow cookers.
Will be sharing as soon as I close out of here, forgot to mention that.
I often prepare a sausage and rice dish to take to gatherings. If the gathering is large, I prepare two, one spicy with minced jalapenos and one without the pepper.
I like taking chicken and dumplings
I would make my chicken and stuffing casserole in this new crockpot
love pulled pork sandwiches out of the slow cooker, so easy and so good!
I use my little slow cooker daily and I wish I had a larger one. I make everything from soups to one pot meals to desserts. With 11 grand children and 5 great grandchildren, that I feed quite often (because they like my cooking)nothing beats a slow cooker.
I like to bring either homemade baked beans or Mac and cheese.
Mac n’ Cheese!
My fav is 3 bean hotdish with bacon and ground beef
I use my crockpot 2 or 3 nights per week. For parties, I make variety of dips and lasagnas.
I usually bring some ziti and sausage or crock pot lasagna or a small turkey, pulled pork!! Anything! Love this idea!!
Chili
Dips and hotdishes
I like to make a fiesta dip, the recipe is as follows …. one block of your fav cream cheese, 1-1/2 lb lean ground beef, scrambled and drained if oily and a large jar of your favorite slasa … put all ingredients in your crock pot and let simmer until crean cheese is melted and it’s warmed through …serve with nachos ….. or even over rice!
Enjoy!
I use crock pots a lot. I love them and never seem to have enough for party’s. I like to make meatballs in one and bbq chicken in a other.
I posted this on FB as well sent it to a few friends.
I always take my scalloped potatoes and ham great made in crockpot.
I like to take baked beans!
I absolutely love to take meatball subs or steak and gravy to potlucks, depending on the theme.
Last time I took a slow cooker in my car for a special breakfast
at the elementary school where I was the librarian.
I made a big batch of homemade gravy with the wonderfull addition of bacon. This was prepared in a 5 qt. slow cooker.
Well, sad to say the slower cooker was tipped over when a
car came so close to my car at a higher speed and I had to
quickly had to get over to the next lane on my left side. Then
I noticed the slow cooker was on its side with gravy all over the floor. What a mess! And so…having a slower cooker that
has a secured lid & is easy to carry! That would make me look forward to a potluck so I can bring one of my favorite menu items to share. I hope to win the wonderful slow cooker!
I only have one small slow cooker and I would use this one to take food to my daughters house to feed my grandchildren. Thank you for this opportunity.
I like to make my chili in it and carry it with me. My daughter-in-law has one of these crock pots, and it’s very handy, so I would love to have one of my own.
I love to cook and share Pozole in my crockpot!
