Reader Giveaway: West Bend Versatility Cooker

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll know that I'm a huge fan of slow cooker meals.  Don't get me wrong, I like spending time in my kitchen making meals from scratch when I have the time.  But sometimes a slow cooker makes things so much easier when you can just prepare the ingredients, put everything in the slow cooker and let the meal cook itself when you're at work or out running errands.

After my recent blog post about my Slow Cooker Beef Stew, the folks at West Bend reached out to me about doing a giveaway for their six-quart versatility cooker

The versatility cooker allows you to use the pot as a slow cooker but also on the stove top and in the oven.  The warming base can also be used to heat the slow cooker, a warming plate or a griddle.  It seems pretty awesome!

I wasn't too familiar with West Bend so I took a look at their products and there were a lot of interesting things.  Since making ice cream is on my 30 by 30 list, I am definitely curious about the canister ice cream maker and will be taking a closer look at it.

So, how can you win this versatility cooker?  There are two different ways to enter the giveaway:

1.  Head over to the West Bend website and leave a comment on this blog telling me which of their products looks the most interesting to you.
2.  For a second chance to win the versatility cooker, "like" West Bend's Facebook page and leave a comment telling me you've done so. 

All blog entries must be entered by Sunday, April 3rd at 11:59 PM EST.  A winner will be selected by Random.org.  This contest is open for U.S. residents only.

What a great giveaway!! I'm also a slow cooker fan -- and West End's waffle maker also looks quite lovely!

Thank you for this opportunity! I'm loving West Bend's 4 slice toaster with egg cooking compartment. Woah! Totally cool. I'd be eating a lot more breakfast egg sandwiches in the morning and less boring cereal if I had me one of those.

I love waffles but my waffle maker just died, so this would be a great time to buy!

Ooh I like the rice cooker. Always love when I don't have to keep an eye on the rice.

A bread maker has been on my wish list for an eternity, but I would definitely consider replacing our slow cooker (it would be nice to not have to use a pair of pliers to turn on our 40 year beast).

Heather said...

by far the most interesting looks like the automatic egg cooker!

That slow cooker is intense! Other than that, the spinning waffle maker reminds me of my college dining hall (in a good way!)

I really like the milk shake maker

Karen said...

Awesome giveaway! I've been wanting to get a bread-maker for some time, so that's what looks most appealing to me.

Audrey Ellen said...

This is so exciting, there are so many options for recipes when you have a slow cooker!

Although when I checked out the website something much more simplistic, but no less enticing, popped out at me: the ice shaver! I instantly recalled summers afternoons at the pool.

Jennifurla said...

First off I dont have a slow cooker and need one in my life. The other product that looks cool is the bread maker...Oh I can smells the bread YUM

ClassicKitchenTwist said...

I love the Versatility Cooker - it would be perfect for my son in college!

I really love the Extra-deep Oblong Skillet. To me this has a nostalgic twinge to it. My grandmother had something similar when I was growing up, and I remember some great meals being made in it. I'll have to look into this because I would love to replicate the flavor of her roast dinner.

So much fun of them to contact you given your love of slow cookers :) I'd love to check out their countertop oven with rotisserie.

I'm a brand new reader but I thought I'd try for the win anyway :)

Okay, I'm in love with their entire product like. WOW. It's a definite toss up between the red electric fondue pot and the egg and muffin toaster--I LOVE fondue and I always yearn for the extra time in the morning to make a good egg sandwich!

But, the item I'd definitely get the most use out of is that crazy versatility cooker, it looks like it does EVERYTHING!

I would LOVE to have the Hi-Rise Rotary Waffle Maker! Though the slow cooker would do wonders in my home as well.

g funk said...

with the never ending winteryness, it would definitely be the fondue set.

The oblong slow cooker with tote, for 2 reasons. 1-My slow cooker is dying a slow death (ironically enough) and 2 - it has a tote!

Jen said...

I'm a huge fan of my slow cooker, but honestly this one looks awesome with the built in griddle and the fact that you can use the top part on/in the stove. So even though the ice cream maker is tempting, I'd really get the slow cooker.

Wow I also live in Boston and my apartment is tiny the Versatility Cooker would be awesome !

moonsword said...

The Hi-Rise Bread Maker interests me the most. Thanks!

Tracy Suzanne said...

Hi Michelle, I love the versatility of this slow cooker. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to enter to win. I'm in need of a simple 2 slice toaster like the QuikServe Toaster in Stainless.

Have a great weekend...Tracy :)
