Hi Friends,

This time, it’s my turn to ask you for advice.

I told my husband I’d like a new crockpot (or slow cooker) for Mother’s Day, and he said, “Pick one out and order it.”

Of course, I could start googling... but we all know how unreliable those top search results can be (try searching for something in your area of expertise—you’ll see what I mean).

So I thought I’d ask the experts—you!

I’m looking for a smaller size, around 5 to 5½ quarts. If you have one you love—and it’s new enough that I could probably still find it in a store or online—just hit "Reply" and tell me about it. I’d be so grateful.

And since you opened this email (thank you!), here’s one of my favorite slow cooker recipes. It's good for a crowd (especially the men, uh...Father's Day?) and you can do most of the work ahead of time.

Sausage-Stuffed Steak Rolls (London Broil in Oven or Crockpot)

London broil or round steak is rolled up with sausage, peppers, breadcrumbs, and parsley, then cooked in a slow cooker or oven. Slice into savory pinwheels and serve with rich homemade gravy.

Can't wait to hear from you,

Thankfully, Greek yogurt is good for most people. To my yogurt-loving friends, Confession time: I’ve been eating these homemade frozen yogurt treats almost every day for the past three years—yes, even in the winter. They’re made with Greek yogurt (homemade, in my case), milk (dairy or non-dairy), and just a few mix-ins. Then they’re spun into something creamy and scoopable using a small machine called the Ninja Creami. It’s not your average ice cream maker—this one blends the yogurt after...

The Results Are In—Here’s the Slow Cooker I Chose

Thank you to everyone who wrote in with slow cooker suggestions. Most of you shared models you’re using and loving, and I appreciated every single note. If I wasn’t familiar with a brand or model, I looked it up! It’s always more helpful to hear from real cooks than from some roundup article listing the “10 Best Whatevers,” especially when the author hasn’t even tried the products—or got them free in exchange for a glowing review. As I researched, I quickly realized that my needs might not be...
