The Complete Guide to Slow Cookers [SEE EQUIPMENT GUIDE]( [Carolyn Grillo. Senior Editor, ATK Reviews] As the air turns cooler, Iâm 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? Youâre in luck: Weâve put all kinds of slow cookersâ [full-size]( [small]( and even [mini]( versionsâthrough the wringer to determine which models are best. In this weekâs guide, youâll 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 familiesâor 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. [Read more ›]( [Cuisinart 4-Quart Cook Central 3-in-1 Multicooker]( Our Winner
