Tailgate season isn’t just about beer and brats. When the temperature dips and fans start reaching for scarves and blankets, the most popular food is the warmest. Enter the Crockpot Cook & Carry Manual 6-Qt Slow Cooker—currently at Meijer for just $29.99 (marked down from $39.99).
Why the Cook & Carry CrockPot Deserves a Ticket
This slow cooker is built for transport. The locking lid and side handles make it easy to haul from your kitchen to your cooler, and from your car to the grill zone, without worrying about a single spill. Once open, you can keep your chili, pulled pork, meatballs, or cheesy dip on the warm setting for hours—making it perfect for halftime munching or post-game seconds. It’s simple, effective, and ideal for tailgate setups where your pot of gumbo needs to stay hot for the long haul.
This Crockpot is No Frills, All Function.
This isn’t your grandma’s ceramic crock, or an overly stylized machine with so many buttons and functions something is bound to get set wrong. This slow cooker is all about straightforward utility. The manual dial makes it easy to choose which of the three temperature settings you need, and there’s nothing more to fuss with when you’re at the campsite, stadium, or picnic table. The Crockpot features a removable stoneware insert that is dishwasher-safe along with the lid. That simplicity is part of its charm: nothing fancy, just slow-and-steady warmth.
A Solid Pick for Potlucks, Picnics, and Holidays
Beyond tailgating, this cooker is a home run for potlucks, cookouts, and bringing a dish for a holiday dinner. Just slow-cook your hot meal in the morning, snap it shut, and pack it along for your event—your food stays hot, your setup stays clean, and everyone’s tastebuds stay happy.
The Takeaway
For $30, the Cook & Carry 6-Qt Slow Cooker offers more than just a place to keep chili warm—it’s a tailgate hack that keeps food hot, keeps things tidy, and keeps the party going. If you’re the kind of person who likes having hot food options on cold game days, this slow cooker should be in your entertaining arsenal.
