GreenPan Crockpot
If you’re in the market for a new slow cooker, I rounded up the top 3 reader recommendations in this post. I was pretty picky about what I was looking for so it took me a while to finally find the perfect crockpot for our needs — and I ended up going with the GreenPan crockpot! I couldn’t love it more.
This stainless steel slow cooker has a nontoxic (PFAS-free) ceramic nonstick coating for the inner pan and also has some great cooking functions I didn’t have previously — browning/searing, steaming, and 5 slow cook modes.

The color is a mix of the diced tomatoes and chicken stock! It’s not creamy but the color makes it kind of look like it is!
