Crock-Pot

Having a reliable slow cooker is perhaps the closest thing to having a personal chef. Quickly drop in a roast or tenderloin before leaving the house in the morning, and arrive home to a mostly complete meal, ready to go with almost no work left to do. You can experience all that ease and convenience by snatching up a highly rated silver 5-quart Crock-Pot Cook & Carry slow cooker for half off, currently less than $18 at Best Buy as Deal of the Day.
