By Latest, , , , , , , ,

As the leading brand in slow cookers, Crockpot continues to innovate the slow-cooking experience to fit and feed your lifestyle with the introduction of the Alexa-compatible Crockpot® Programmable Slow Cooker. With voice-controlled cooking, you now get the convenience of controlling your slow cooker from anywhere, so you can spend less time in front of your slow cooker fretting about your meal, and more time making moments that matter.

“Set it and forget it has always been a benefit of slow cooking, and we want to continue to find ways for consumers to worry less about dinner time,” said Tim Anderson, Director of Brand Development, Crockpot. “By adding Amazon’s technology to our slow cooker, you can now use your voice or the Alexa app to easily start, stop, program, or check the status of your meal from anywhere. It doesn’t get more convenient than that.”

The innovation is $119.99 and available at Amazon.com:

Just Ask Alexa:

  • Use your voice to easily start or stop the slow cooker, program cook-times, heat settings, and check the status of your meal from anywhere! This programmable slow cooker works with Alexa-enabled devices like Amazon Echo or Echo Show, or through the free Amazon Alexa app on your phone or tablet.

Program & Monitor Remotely

  • With voice-controlled cooking, spend less time in front of your slow cooker, and less time worrying about your meal. Program and adjust cook-times from 30 minutes to 20 hours using your Alexa-enabled device or app. Running late? Adjust cook settings on the go! Wondering what the status of your meal is? Simply ask, “Alexa, when will my Crockpot be done?”

Temperature Control & Simple Setup
