The KSC700 slow cooker from KitchenAid has all the features necessary to prepare a meal. My favorite feature is that it is dishwasher safe though usually these pots are very easy to clean. It has a timer with automatic shut-off or it can switch over to a warming mode. There is nothing like starting the week on a Monday and coming home to a kitchen full of aroma and knowing the fact that your meal is prepared! KSC700 comes in cinnamon, black, and stainless steel and retails for $129 here.

American Range took its Saute /Step-Up cooking ranges one step further with introduction of industry first hybrid range cookers in 24″, 30″ and 36″. The hybrid range combines gas and induction cooking technology in a one freestanding range, providing commercial grade firepower, performance and efficiency with ergonomic functionality. Residential step-up ranges were and still are quite an innovative idea, with American Range being the only brand to my best recollection. Given the popularity of hybrid cooktops, these hybrid range cookers can be a big hit. We are not quite sure on the 24″ and 30″ hybrid models, but the 36″ range comes with 3.4 kW, 2.8 kW and 1.8 kW front induction burners, capable to accommodate 16″ diameter saute pans or stock pots.
