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 love my slow cooker for beef stew and all my neighbors and friends enjoy it too!
I make soups, cheesey potato casserole, veggie casseroles, and meals during the week. Slow cookers make life so much easier and helps cut out fast food because there’s no time to cook.
Love to talk my Chili, Rueben dip, or stuffing on Thanksgiving. Would be great to have one with a handle for transporting my goodies.
My sister and I always share the duties at Thanksgiving. I definitely would use this slow cooker for the mashed potatoes. I’m taking to her house.

I like to make chicken cacciatore in my crock pot. It’s so easy and delicious!
my fav potluck recipe is chili with beans!
This roast beef recipe is sooooo good
3 pound beef roast such as a chuck roast
1 envelope of dry Italian salad dressing mix
1 envelope of dry Ranch salad dressing mix
1 envelope of dry brown gravy mix
2 cups water
Put the water in a measuring cup that is larger then the amount of water you are using. Now add and mix all three envelopes to the water. Mix until blended completely.
Brown the roast (if desired) Add the meat to your cooker. Pour the water, salad dressing mixture over the roast.In the slow cooker, cook it on high for about 4 hours, on low about 8 hours..
I like to make pulled pork.
Baked beans are my favorite!
I use my crockpot to make a pot roast dinner. Yum!
Do not have a slow cooker yet! When I get one I would like to try everything as I love experimenting with food.
I like to do a pork roast for pulled pork sandwiches.
I love bringing pulled pork! It’s so easy and convenient and I do bring it a lot.
shared on Facebook!
I love to take rumaki! Recipe from my sister many years ago!! Everyone loves it!
I like to make a pot roast in my crock pot, the roast comes out so tender and the veggies are just right.
Soups come out super in a crock pot, especially butternut squash soup.

What a cool idea! So easy to bring to a family party, without making a mess of the car or having one of the kids nestle the pot next to them and listening to the designated kid complain for the entire ride. Hands down it would be carrying baked ziti or penne with vodka sauce.
Green bean casserole, or garlic mashed potatoes, usually for holidays.
USE MINE FOR POT ROAST PULLED PORK POTATO SOUP AN THE LIST GOES ON
Our Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) is used lots for family meals and for when we have luncheons at work. Most recently, I made Chili for family dinner. I enjoy making soups, dips, and different meats in the Slow Cooker (Crock Pot). It is also fun to experiment with new recipes as they come my way. Using the Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) makes making dinner so much easier.
Mulled cider!
