The cool thing about this Hamilton Beach Stay-or-Go 5-Quart Slow Cooker is that it comes with a probe thermometer for cooking large pieces of meat, so you may never end up with an overcooked pot roast again. The large capacity makes it perfect for big families (or for making plenty of pulled pork and freezing the rest in meal-size portions). It retails for about $50 at Amazon.com.
