The Crock-Pot® VersaWare™ Pro is not your grandmother's slow cooker. The timer automatically switches to a warm setting when the cooking time has expired. The 6-quart oval stoneware crock does double duty as a saute pan and may also be used in the oven as a Dutch oven. If you've been thinking about replacing your old Crock-Pot®, this is the one to put on your gift wish-list.
3. Nesco® 18-Quart Roaster Oven
Nesco®
The Nesco® roaster oven is a countertop stand-alone oven with a temperature dial just like a standard range oven. Unlike a low-high slow cooker, you can regulate the temperature at will to suit your recipe. It uses less power than the oven and won't heat up your kitchen.
4. Emerilware® Deep Fryer
This deep fryer automatically filters the oil and saves it to a container so you can re-use the oil up to 15 times. As well as being cost-effective on oil, it is also easy to clean in the dishwasher, making it a perfect gift.
5. Emerilware® Grill & Panini Maker
Convenient counter-top electric grill also functions as a panini sandwich maker. The nonstick T-Fal finish makes it easy enough to clean with a damp sponge, but it is also dishwasher-safe.
