It’s no secret that slow cookers are a blessing on a busy weeknight when you want to serve up a hearty but low-maintenance meal. The problem is, most of them require a dedicated cabinet for storage and there’s no denying they are heavy and bulky. Small families might want the ease of preparing a slow cooker meal, without investing in an appliance that is simply too large for their needs.
Luckily, this Elite Gourmet slow cooker is specifically designed to prepare smaller portions, and it won’t eat up all your counter space, either. The best part? It’s just $15 at Amazon.
Elite Gourmet 1.5-Quart Slow Cooker

Buy it: $15; Amazon
With a 1.5-quart capacity this Elite Gourmet slow cooker is ideal for couples and people living solo. The base of the slow cooker is made from stainless steel, which is resistant to staining and other damage, and it comes with a removable ceramic pot, making it easy to clean, as well as a glass lid that covers the pot as it cooks for several hours.
Measuring just 7.5 by 10 by 7-inches, its compact size makes it far easier to store in a cabinet alongside other appliances and cookware than the typical slow cooker. And since it weighs just under five pounds, it’s easy to lift on and off the counter.
Although this slow cooker is smaller than other models, it has all the same functionality. Featuring just three intuitive cook settings—low, high, and warm (plus an off switch)—this set-it-and-forget-it appliance might just open up a whole new world of recipes to you no matter how busy your days are. In fact, it’s so easy to use that even cooking dishes with long cook times like chicken mole or to Texas-style pulled pork will be possible. The 1.5-quart bowl holds just enough meat to feed one to two people, meaning you don’t have to worry about storing tons of leftovers, either.
Cooking with this appliance is stress-free, and so is cleaning up. The inner pot and lid are dishwasher-safe, and the stainless steel exterior of the slow cooker can simply be wiped clean with a damp dish cloth.
Don’t let the affordable price tag fool you: Amazon shoppers are so impressed with the quality of this slow cooker that they’ve given it more than 15,700 five-star ratings. One shopper who has owned this slow cooker for six years, and used it to make chili and corned beef, wrote that it “works just as well today as when I first bought it,” and added that it has “exceeded my expectations given its low price.”
Another shopper wrote that “everything they’ve cooked in this small slow cooker has been cooked to perfection,” and that “it’s the perfect size for one person with leftovers or for a couple.” They also found that it’s “easy to store on your shelves in your kitchen” since “it doesn't take up a lot of room.”
You don’t need to sacrifice all your kitchen space in order to prepare satisfying slow cooker meals for yourself or your family—you just need this Elite Gourmet slow cooker. And at just $15, there’s no reason not to add it to your kitchen today.
