Couldn't be happier!
I bought this item to replace another Hamilton Beach 6 qt. crockpot that I had for years, but which fell off my storage cabinet and broke. I must say
that I am so pleased with this replacement, as it does just as fine a job plus some. My older one was round, and made it difficult to use some cuts of
meat plus veggies, and this one being oval is such a plus for the ease with which you can place vegetables around the meat. I love it. The temperature
is accurate, and dinner holds for as long as required without drying out. I am looking forward to many years use. AND it matches my blue and white
dinnerware to boot.
Simple and Straightforward
Slow cooker does not have a non-stick surface, so there is no toxic-surface questions to consider. Also - my favorite feature: You can plug it in AND have it off. There is an actual "off" choice on the dial! I had a fancier slow-cooker, which was "on", if it was plugged in. Drove me nuts to see the flashing lights just because i plugged it in. No timer, which i also LOVE. Makes more sense to decide cooking-length / time by using my brain. A good appliance is one in which i can throw out the instructions without looking at them. This is a good appliance.
Perfect replacement slow cooker
I have been using the same Crock Pot - Rival brand - slow cooker since I got it as a wedding shower gift 16 years ago, and although I LOVE it (it actually still works great), I've been trying to find a 2nd and/or replacement that was oval shaped (my old one is round). I tried a fancy stainless steel one with all the bells and whistles a few years ago (B&D brand I think), and it burned my roast - cooked too hot. I finally decided after struggling to cook corned beef and cabbage in my round cooker (all the while wishing I had TWO), that I needed to try again.
This is the one! It looks and feels just like my classic Crock Pot, and cooks identically. It is roughly the same size, but oval and it has a warm setting (my old one just has high and low). I will keep my old one for St Patties Day feasts when I need the extra space, but this one will be my new "go to" cooker for everyday meals.
If you are looking for a basic slow cooker that does the job as...
