Hold and Go Slow Cooker – GIVEAWAY
This post may contain paid links. If you make a purchase through links on our site, we may earn a commission.
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 using my slow cooker. I use it all year long. One of my favorite things to take to pot luck is cheesey potatoe casserole. You dump everything in and cook on slow. Soooo easy. And always a big hit.
I absolutely LOVE to bring “Funeral Potatoes,” or I prefer calling them “Party Potatoes.” It never seems to fail that whenever I bring this creamy and crunchy potato casserole, everyone wants the recipe, so I have learned to keep copies of the recipe with me to pass out to anyone asking. The combination of creamy and crunchy is just fabulous! Love your website!
I love to make a hot cider with cinnamon for Christmas parties. This would be great.
I love to take Chicken and Rice and Nacho Cheese Dip
Taco soup is my favorite go to potluck recipe.
I like to bring a variety of things, but vegetarian chili is a favorite!
I love to take Chicken and Rice and Nacho Cheese Dip.
Come this spring, my friend and I will be feeding our daughters softball team for an entire 2 week period. I have saved the majority of the recipes emailed to me. I’m planning on trying most of them. This would make a great addition in providing healthy meals.
Cheesy Potatoes
I bring a chicken chili recipe. Everyone really likes it and asks me to bring it.
I made Taco Soup in cooker
I would LOVE this slow cooker, as you said it would be perfect for pot lucks. Since our church has a pot luck once a month, I’ll put it to good use. I love bringing Swedish Meatballs.
My co-worker, Karen is also a slow cooker addict. She admitted to have 8 yesterday, so of course I shared this giveaway with her on Facebook!
My slow cooker mac n cheese is a great go-to crowd pleaser recipe at all my church & school events. Love to crock!
Chili
I like pulled pork or Italian beef.
I love taking homemade Mac n Cheese to potlucks in my crockpot. It is always a big hit and everyone from small children to adults love this comfort food!!
I love to take mushrooms, or soup, or baked beans to potlucks and get togethers. My mushrooms are gone faster then anything else, and they are so easy! ๐
I like making a variation of the Creamy Chicken Spaghetti recipe that you posted from the Gooseberry Patch book. My version uses turkey instead of chicken, and I add a little cooking sherry. Always get rave reviews on that one!
Love your site, always trying new stuff. ๐
There is nothing I don’t cook in the crockpot. It is a life saver to me.
I like to do soups and stews in my crockpot for potlucks.
Cheesy Sausage Dip!
Last week we had a Crock Pot Carnita party! I made your carnita recipe and everyone else brought the toppings. It was terrific! Everyone LOVED your carnitas! I broiled the meat, then put it back in the crock on warm. The meat kept the toasted ends, and tasted wonderful.
