For the most part brand really doesn't matter end of the day it is a ceramic pot that sits on a heating element and they are all roughly equal.
Don't bother with fancy timers just look for something in the 6 quart range with a locking lid and removable insert/pot for around $20-30
One like this should be pretty much exactly what you need https://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCCPVL600S-6-Quart-Portable-Stainless/dp/B003HF6PUO/
If you have some extra cash I would HIGHLY recommend looking at an instant pot. They are a combo device that is a slow cooker, pressure cooker, and rice cooker for around $80.

As much of a craze as it seems I love my pressure cooker and use it all the time and my slow cooker has been on the shelf since last Thanksgiving. Chili from scratch in about an hour, chicken stock in 2 hours, Ribs in 30 minutes, stew in an hour, pulled pork/carne asada in an hour, yadda yadda yadda AND it is also a slow cooker if you want to let it go all day for something.
I'll going to go in a different direction here and say "Insta-pot."
This is basically a pressure cooker combined with a Crock-Pot. You can cook fast or you can cook slow in the same pot. I do 2 workouts a day. The first one is in the morning before breakfast - the second one is after work.
I get home from work - I threw a bunch of meat and vegetables in the instapot and then I go train. The food is done by the time I finish exercising.
Nutritious Food is just as important as all the shit you throw on your bike.
Best of all, you can get it for $80 off Amazon.

An Instant Pot would be useful.
And for $50 you can get one of these bad boys. For a little more you can even get a pressure cooker that takes like a fourth the time.
Interesting. I have a lot of Monoprice cables and they're definitely good bang for buck. I'd personally still wait a while and see what reviewers say before buying an appliance from them since that's rather a different animal than a cheap cable or adapter. I'd be interested in the vacuum sealer depending on the price point.
This Monoprice/Strata Home pressure cooker most closely competes with InstantPot IP-LUX, not to be confused with the IP Duo or higher tiers. The LUX (currently in its 3rd iteration) is $79 on Amazon already so not sure I'd risk an unproven model to save ten bucks, but that's just me.
I would have expected MP to price more competitively since that's their whole thing, but maybe it'll drop down after launch. If not, might just be that electric pressure cookers are already pretty good value (which I kind of suspect, apart from the shiny Breville one).
Something to keep an eye on though! Interesting find.
this instant pot is something I've been eyeing for a few months. I don't really NEED it, as I can just cook on the stove or oven easily , but I've heard they're really handy.
I've also been eyeing a kitchenaid stand mixer for years. I doubt I'll ever get it, but it would really be useful in all the frequent baking that I do. But hand mixers work too.... so not really a need lol.
That gif is... interesting.
I mean there is, but a dutch oven low and slow in the oven makes the house hot, requires the oven to be on the whole time, and still has an entry cost of the dutch oven.
The instant pot is a great appliance though, great idea. And right now the 6 quart is $49 on Amazon.

Amazon is matching the price now!
Behold the wonder that is an Instant Pot
It's basically an electric pressure cooker/slow cooker/rice cooker that can also make some cheesecakes and other things. The only reason I got it was because I can put it on and walk away and don't have to worry about falling asleep while it's on. :/
Buy an Instant Pot. This is the one I have (no affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Multi-Use-Programmable-Stainless/dp/B01MFEBQH1
Yes, that's called cooking PiP (pot-in-pot, pan-in-pot) and may be done for various situations (or anytime).
Since there are only 2 of you any of the 6 qt models would
be plenty though (unless you like to entertain or "prep" large amounts then freeze, etc, etc). Personally I like the smaller size because the footprint and height will be less and the pot will be lighter-weight and smaller when cleaning or carrying (especially if not doing PiP).
The best-selling model of all time is the DUO60 and it's just a few dollars more (if it doesn't go on sale the rest of today like we all thought it would, again!):
https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Multi-Use-Programmable-Pressure/dp/B00FLYWNYQ
And the LUX line also has a 6 qt (as well as perhaps a few 5 qt units here and there) for less money but those are 6-in-1's rather than 7-in-1's so won't have the Yogurt mode (which can also be used to proof dough and a few other things), and won't have a Low power mode (not used that often), won't do some modes for as many hours as the DUO's, and won't have the built-in lid slots on the sides (tho I hear the lid can be stood up in the channel of the LUXes as well):
https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Multi-Use-Programmable-Stainless/dp/B01MFEBQH1 (this is also the latest "version" of the LUX 6 qt)

rice cooker and or crock pot (I mean not every moment of my life has to an [instant pot] (https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Multi-Use-Programmable-Pressure/dp/B01MFEBQH1/ref=asc_df_B01MFEBQH1/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167155690034&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17234452769957758817&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1019404&hvtargid=aud-799711277694:pla-362941723327&psc=1)add), cooler, can opener, sleds if you live somewhere cold (can always get them in winter but it's a dam smooth date or fun bros idea), also depends on how you like to live but I never could've survived school without charcoal and grill tongs or stuff to play wiffleball. As long as you're not in a dorm fuckin live it up and be the cool apartment
Check out amazon, if your still looking, the 3 quart is 59.99 and the 6 quart is 79.99. The three quart would be perfect for you.

I LOVE the Instant Pot! I have had one for two months now and it is amazing.
If anyone was wanting to get one, you can get them on Amazon for less than $80! You can buy them here, I think they are on sale too!
I just bought my wife an InstaPot. Anyone here have experience with them? Any tips?
Two words: Instant Pot
https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Muti-Use-Programmable-Pressure/dp/B01MFEBQH1/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1505547239&sr=8-3&keywords=duo+instant+pot+6+qt
InstantPot
It's plugged in with a grounded 3 prong cable. Inside there's a little metal pressure switch which allows the unit to turn on (which I don't plan to do for this). On top of that, there's a metal (stainless steel) pot that goes inside.
I have this one and I love it because I can pre-brown the meat right in the pot. It's got a non-stick surface though, so I don't know whether it can be Kashered or not. I have been hearing a lot of good things about the Instant Pot lately. Have you considered one of those?
Obviously not a "one size fits all" answer here, but from experience and what I recommend to clients:
​
Not skilled in the art of cooking? Buy a tool that alleviates that pain point. I often recommend an Instant Pot.
I use an instant pot to cook all of my weekly proteins (chicken, ground beef, fish, turkey, pork, etc) in one single pot. I throw all of the meat into a pot, add some stock, season with whatever I enjoy, and set it to cook.
​
After it's done cooking, I can easily weigh out the meat I want to eat in a single serving and put it on top of a bed of carbs (rice, noodles, potatoes, etc.), add some veggies, and garnish with mushroom + green onion. Well balanced meals with ease.
An instant pot is a must for a dorm. A toaster oven too. Or better yet a Nuwave oven.
