West Bend Housewares (one of the country’s best known small appliance brands) is celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, and to help get the word out they were nice enough to send me one of their new Versatility 6-Quart Slow Cookers. Right now I know that you’re probably thinking “Hey Nick, it’s great that you got a free slow cooker, but why should we care?” The answer to that is because West Bend is giving … CONTINUE READING »
