To have a Crock-Pot is to love it. Nothing beats setting and forgetting a delicious meal that basically cooks itself. The only downside is that, depending on what you’re making, you often need to prepare a side dish elsewhere when the slow cooker is taking care of your main dish.

To solve this, the brand recently released the ingenious Crock-Pot MultiMeal Multicooker, which can prepare two different dishes at once—and time it so they finish cooking at the same time. Even better, the appliance is on sale for nearly 25 percent off (was $210, now $160) during Amazon’s holiday sale. Read on for all the details on this life-changing kitchen tool.

Crock-Pot

As if your standard slow cooker wasn't incredible enough, this new model can cook two dishes at once, thanks to dual temperature control and DualSync Technology that ensures both dishes are ready at the same time, regardless of when you start cooking. Yup—that means you won’t have to do the mental gymnastics of figuring out when to start your side dish, and it won’t go cold before the main is ready.

It has various cook functions, like slow cook, sear, sauté, bake and steam. But perhaps what’s most impressive is that the MultiMeal is designed to replace more than 30 kitchen tools and appliances, including a steamer, food warmer, Dutch oven, rice cooker, and—wait for it—oatmilk maker. Oh, and did I mention it can prepare eight servings in one fell swoop?

I especially love how easy the ceramic-coated nonstick pot is to clean. Not only can you wipe the pot down in a flash, but the lid and steam rack are safe to put in the dishwasher, too.

Need more convincing? The creamy off-white color will look undeniably chic on your kitchen counter. Go ahead: Add it to your cart, chef.
