Giveaway! a Set Of Slow Cooker Spices That Will Rock Your Routine

Organic Slow Cooker Spice Kits

(This giveaway in now closed)

Here’s the problem with today’s giveaway: I want to keep the prize for my very own self. I’m so excited, I’m not sure where to begin.

My friends Jane and Meg —  I’ve told you about them before and shared many of their slow cooker recipes — are two impressively entrepreneurial ladies taking this whole slow cooker thing to a new level. They’ve developed a line of slow cooker spice mixes that come in little tins like this:

Giveaway: Slow Cooker Spice Kits

Each one is your ticket to a slow cooker meal. Inside is a fragrant bundle of whole, organic spices, all thoughtfully sourced, tied up in what looks like a fat tea bag. The tin also includes an accompanying recipe, so you’ll know exactly what’s needed from the market and how to make it. Pick up your ingredients, follow recipe instructions, tuck that spice mix into your slow cooker, and you have a meal that does all the thinking for you. More importantly, it’s a DELICIOUS meal that doesn’t taste like it came from a crock pot. No offense to the crock pot.

These babies are my new “go to” for slow cooking, and for all gift giving to slow-cooker-loving friends from here to eternity.

And now, one of you luckies is going to win a gift set of three. It comes in a pretty box.

This particular set, which is called the Zen of Slow Cooking 101 Collection, includes the following three spice kits:

Zen Gift Pack

Tackle that Moroccan Tagine number and you’ll have a dinner like this:
Slow Cooker Chicken Tagine

And maybe, your kids will say what mine did, “This is the best chicken tagine you’ve EVER made.”

That’s some spice mix.

I have it on my to do list to make tikka masala in the slow cooker. That and the slow cooker pumpkin bread recipe.

I saw a Tex Mex slow cooker recipe that I would like to try and several soup recipes, but currently in my slow cooker is a spaghetti squash which I will top this evening with an eggplant and zucchini sauce!

Monica

My mom’s slow cooker is always on and she produces the most beautiful soups and beans. But I’ve never had her touch with slow cooking and my results have always felt underwhelming in flavor and texture. Hoping to check out these spices because the convenience slow cooking is tough to beat, especially during the freezing cold east coast winters!

11.11.2014 at6:40 AM #

Renee

I just told my son and husband I want/need a slow cooker for Christmas! I recently cleaned out some kitchen gear I wasn’t using anymore (jello molds!) to make room for it. Would love a recommendation on what type to get (ask for!) and some spices to get me off the ground! Already follow you on IG but will follow slow cooker site, too.

11.11.2014 at6:40 AM #

Katie Morford

Hi Renee, I bought a very basic one and regret that it doesn’t have a timer. I’d recommend an oval shape so you can make a loaf of bread. I’ll ask Jane at Zen of Slow Cooking to weigh in here since she’s the expert.

11.11.2014 at6:40 AM #

Jane McKay

Dear Renee, great question!
We use a variety of slow cookers here at the zen of slow cooking, and depending on your preference for a ceramic versus a stove-proof insert we make several recommendations. My personal favorites are the 6qt oval stovetop programmable Hamilton Beach which comes in under $70, and my 4qt round white ceramic All Clad which looks good on the table and works very well (under $150 on sale at Williams Sonoma.) Both are good for a family of 4-6.
For a closer look and tips, I suggest you take a look at our “Slow Cooking 101 – Getting Started” pages.
Feel free to email us directly if you have any questions.
Jane

I’m a huge fan of making oatmeal in the slow cooker!

11.11.2014 at7:12 AM #

Terri

My favorite is probably Tuscan white beans with rosemary, but my most convenient slow cooker cooking is to cook a whole chicken, remove the meat, add vegetables, and make chicken stock overnight- half the cleanup, twice the good eats!

Soups and a delicious Mexican flank steak. Zen is right! The house is so much calmer when a meal is cooking away in a slow cooker and I am not a whirling dervish in the kitchen at 5:00.

11.11.2014 at9:02 AM #

Sybil

I am actually in a slow cooker rut. I mostly do roasts (because I have so many from a cow that I purchased) and whole chickens. I need inspiration and motivation to use it more!

I’ve been thinking a slow cooker would do well when we have 12 in the house in August. Maybe Santa will bring one so I can practice before the summer. Pulled pork is a house favorite. These spices will help anything taste good I’m sure.

11.11.2014 at9:37 AM #

Mandy

White bean chicken chili!

11.11.2014 at9:42 AM #

Farrah

I can’t eat pork, so I’d be a total rebel and make pulled chicken! <3 I've been wanting to attempt to make that for a while!

But next up on my slow cooker to-do list is probably a pumpkin chili of some kind. :O

We are a vegetarian family and use the slow cooker primarily to prep beans. They come out perfectly cooked every time and no boiling over (for which I am famous!)

OK – I’m notorious bad about using the slow cooker (as in I rarely do) but when I do, love to make chili – mainly for the aroma that fills the house. These spices are just beautiful – would make fantastic holiday gifts for your favorite cook.

My fav thing to make in the crock pot is bolognese sauce. But, I’m so excited because I just used my pot last night to make my first batch of homemade chicken stock. Santa (Ok, my mom) is getting me a bigger one for Christmas. I bet everything will taste better in the new one.
