Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.

I am the creator of Slow Cooker Mate. A slow cooker that can cook a one pot meal or an entrée and two separate side dishes. Slow Cooker Mate competes with the “big boys” like Rival, Hamilton Beach and Westbend.

I developed Slow Cooker Mate because I liked the convenience of the slow cooker but felt it did not cook a meal like my family ate. We eat an entrée and two side dishes; not a one pot meal.

Most people just use their slow cooker in the winter for soups and stews. Because Slow Cooker Mate cooks an entrée and two separate side dishes, it is designed to be used year round.

Slow Cooker Mate helps to make real meals so real families can stay connected.

Over the last 3 years, I have experimented and resolved many issues to finally bring Slow Cooker Mate to market during January 2009.
