Review: Weston 2-in-1 Smoker & Slow Cooker

Last fall, I fell in love with my Weston meat grinder. So when I found myself heading into spring turkey season in need of a new slow-cooker, I knew exactly where to look.

The 2-in-1 Indoor Smoker and Slow Cooker from Weston takes meal prep to the next level—and saves me a pile of dishes in the process. Slow cooking is a Sunday staple in my home, one that allows me to set it and forget it in the morning, then come back after a long day outdoors to some delicious wild game. But every now and then, it’s fun to switch things up—especially when friends are gathered around the table. That's where the ability to smoke everything from elk roast to fish and cheese opens up a variety of new options. You can even add wood chips for that authentic smoky flavor. This cooker also includes a party dipper to keep appetizers warm and ready to serve on the side.

As someone who’s always worried about over- or undercooking, I especially appreciate the internal temperature probe, which gives me peace of mind and keeps the lid closed to seal in heat and flavor. Best of all, every component of this combo cooker is dishwasher-safe. There’s something especially rewarding about being able to savor tender, hard-earned meat all year long—and the 2-in-1 helps me enjoy it to the fullest. 

Available at Weston; $138.
