Football season is finally here, which means it’s time to break out all your best crowd-friendly recipes. And while it’s easy to forget food safety guidelines in the middle of all the excitement, it’s essential to have a plan to reduce the risk of foodborne illness. Many fans opt for on-demand grilling and cold food options for tailgates, but for those who love to prepare the night before, slow cookers are the way to go.
Not only is it a hands-off way to make barbecue smokies and Velveeta dip, but slow cookers also keep food covered and warm so you can watch the game without worry.
This week, Aldi has a new slow cooker on shelves that will serve you well all throughout football season—but you’ll have to act fast because it’s sure to sell out quickly.
Aldi’s New Ambiano 2-Quart Slow Cooker
Just before this year’s Super Bowl, shoppers flocked to Aldi to snag a 3-in-1 slow cooker trio. Now, just as the new season kicks off, the retailer is stocking a small slow cooker, and it’s perfect for all your game day recipes.
The Ambiano 2-Quart Slow Cooker is available in black and silver, making it easy to match with your current collection. And at just $9, it’s a fraction of the price you would pay for similar models elsewhere.
Not sure what to use it for? This mini slow cooker is perfect for heating nacho cheese sauce, grape jelly meatballs, and Buffalo chicken dip—all of which are instant crowd favorites. In addition, it can be used to warm pre-made gooey chocolate chip cookies, whip up small batches of hot cocoa, and even make chocolate fondue.
If you aren’t a sports fan, it’s still a versatile kitchen appliance you can use to cook slow cooker oats, beef and vegetable soup, and shredded salsa verde.
Redditors who purchased the slow cooker in the past say the small appliance has been useful. “I got one. Made some dried chickpeas in it earlier this week, and it did great. The small size is so much better for my needs than the larger one I had,” one shopper shared.
“Used it a few times, I love it so much!” added another.
Aldi’s Ambiano 2-Quart Slow Cooker will be available starting Aug. 13. The item is listed as an Aldi Find, so be sure to grab yours before this limited-supply find disappears.
