If your game-day setup doesn’t include a trusty slow cooker, you’re missing out. The Crock-Pot 7-Quart Slow Cooker is now just $35.99 (40% off) on Amazon, marked down from its regular $59.99. Whether you’re cooking chili for the whole crew or keeping queso perfectly warm through overtime, this is the kind of kitchen gear that quietly makes every weekend better.

What You’re Getting

This 7-quart model is built for gatherings, holding enough to feed 8 or more people. The manual temperature control lets you set it to low or high, depending on what’s on the menu — think shredded BBQ pork, hearty stews, or a batch of slow-simmered chili. Its removable stoneware insert doubles as a serving dish, and the dishwasher-safe design means cleanup is as easy as the cooking itself.

Recommended Videos

Crock-Pot has been a staple in American kitchens for decades, and this model sticks to what works: simple functionality, consistent performance, and no unnecessary frills. You get the satisfaction of homemade flavor without having to hover over the stove.

Why It’s Worth It

At under $40, this is one of the best values you’ll find on a full-size slow cooker — especially from a brand that’s stood the test of time. It’s versatile enough for weekday meals and perfect for football Sundays, holiday potlucks, or meal prepping for the week. Similar models from newer brands often cost double, without offering the same proven reliability.

If you’re hosting a watch party, this deal is a no-brainer. You can set it, forget it, and focus on the game while your chili or buffalo chicken dip cooks to perfection.

The Bottom Line

The Crock-Pot 7-Quart Slow Cooker is the MVP of fall weekends. At $35.99, this limited-time Amazon deal is worth grabbing before kickoff — and before the price goes back up.

The best single malt Scotch whiskies that are available everywhere
Glenmorangie

Single malt Scotch whisky carries a bit of a stigma. There’s an air of fanciness that the other whisk(e)y styles don’t have. This is likely because of its storied history and the fact that you probably started drinking other types of whiskey, like bourbon or rye, before venturing into the world of Scotch, especially single malt Scotch.

As a whisky writer with more than 20 years of professional experience, I’m here to tell you that the world of Scotch (and single malt Scotch in particular) is much more approachable than it seems. You don’t need a tweed jacket, an ornate pipe, or even a fancy mustache to enjoy a glass of single malt Scotch whisky; you need to know where to find a great, approachable bottle. That’s because myriad outstanding bottles of single malt Scotch are available everywhere whisky is sold.

It is always time for a good burger: Learn how to make the best burger at home with a NYC expert
Burger, Food

I am not a foodie. Any friends of mine will probably tell you I have the palate of a ten-year-old. And I am ok with that. Hell, don’t get mad at me because I found all the foods I love when I was a child. You can keep your expensive seafood and works of art on a plate for the price of a competition bike. Give me the $1.50 slice, the hot dog outside Central Park, and a good burger that makes your mouth water. Oh, you need something a little more elevated? Fine, give me a steak, mashed potatoes, and an old fashioned.

Anyway, since moving to NYC, I have been on the hunt for the greatest burger in the city, and when I stepped into Gotham Burger, I may have accomplished the feat. Is it a work of art on a plate? Nope, it is just a burger. Uncomplicated. Simple. Mouthwatering.
