Senior Editor, ATK Reviews] As the air turns cooler, I’m getting ready to make some of my favorite soul-warming slow-cooker dishes: [Mexican Shredded Pork Tostadas]( [Hearty Farro and Butternut Squash Stew]( and [Classic Beef Chili](. Using a slow cooker is convenient because it allows me to set it, forget it, and return to a perfectly cooked meal. Not sure which model is right for you? You’re in luck: We’ve put all kinds of slow cookers— [full-size]( [small]( and even [mini]( versions—through the wringer to determine which models are best. In this week’s guide, you’ll find those winners along with the accessories needed for slow-cooker success. [A Small Slow Cooker]( Must-Have of the week A Small Slow Cooker Small slow cookers, which hold 4 quarts, offer the same set-it-and-forget-it convenience to small families—or for small kitchens. (For comparison, a 6-quart slow cooker can fit eight chicken thighs or more; smaller cookers fit about four thighs.) To assess these smaller versions, we bought eight 4-quart models priced from about $20 to roughly $130. Our winning model is lightweight and easy-to-clean. Plus, it has an unbreakable metal insert with extra-large, comfy handles. We also love its oval shape, clear lid, and intuitive controls. During testing it produced perfect chicken, steaks, and ribs, with no scorching or hot spots.
