slow cookerSlow cookers are pretty much a godsend in the kitchen. It's difficult for even the worst cook to screw up a Crock Pot recipe -- simply just throw in a bunch of stuff and let the flavors simmer. Eight hours later, you have a delicious meal. Plus the fact that I can make my breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails and dessert with this one fantastic appliance makes it the best investment that I have in my kitchen.

Since winter is the perfect time to make those hot stews, chilis, and ciders, we're giving away a Cuisinart 4-Quart Slow Cooker to one lucky winner.

And as if using a slow cooker wasn't easy enough, this one features a 24-hour programmable cook time, a digital countdown timer, three cooking modes, and it automatically shifts to Keep Warm when it’s done cooking. Which, let's face it, the hardest pot about Crock Pot cooking is remembering to set it on low when it's done.
