My Favorite Nontoxic Slow Cooker: A Homestead Must-Have

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I’m passionate about real food, clean living, and tools that support a sustainable lifestyle. So when I say I’ve found the perfect nontoxic slow cooker, I mean it.

I’ve tried my fair share of slow cookers over the years—some with questionable coatings, others that were a nightmare to clean, and most that didn’t quite align with my homestead values. But the 360 Cookware Stainless Steel Slow Cooker has completely exceeded my expectations.

Why This Slow Cooker Stands Out

Here’s what makes it a standout in my kitchen:

• Nontoxic stainless steel construction—no mystery materials or chemical coatings
• Dual-purpose design—use it on the stovetop or with the slow cooker base
• Effortless cleanup—even after bone broth!
• Simple operation—no digital fuss, just reliable heat
• Beautiful results—whole chickens, beef roasts, stews, and broth have all turned out perfectly

I’ve cooked whole chickens (I can actually fit TWO chickens in the 6-quart slow cooker), pulled beef, hearty stews, and countless batches of bone broth in this pot. Every dish has been flavorful, tender, and easy to clean up afterward.

And pouring broth? No more awkward angles or spills—just smooth, graceful pouring from a thoughtfully designed vessel.

Why Nontoxic Cookware Matters

Most conventional slow cookers are made with ceramic inserts or non-stick coatings that can contain heavy metals or PFAS chemicals. These substances can leach into food over time, especially with high heat and long cook times.

That’s why switching to a nontoxic slow cooker made from stainless steel is such a game-changer. It’s safer for your family and better for your food.

If you’re ready to upgrade your kitchen with a tool that’s both practical and beautiful, I can’t recommend this one enough.
