Hamilton Beach 6qt Stovetop Slow Cooker - Silver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased this item, to make chili, and I love it. Perfect size to make chili and have meals for a few days. Easy to clean and store. One thing I wish i had was something to hold the lid down when transporting this to a family get together. I will be using this to make stews and soups.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 of them that I use at the same time for functions.

I have purchased this Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker to replace the old we had for 8 years, the cat knocked it off the counter and smashed the pot insert and lid. We’re happy with our current slow cooker and am sure we’ll continue to be happy using our new one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has the options and functions that I need and use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this for years, it’s easy to use and clean. Inside comes out for easy clean up

I love it that i can use the product to sear the meat first before setting to slow cooking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use this 2 or 3 times a month. At this moment we are slow cooking a slab of beef as we will be making a Mexican pulled beef dish tonight. Pretty easy to clean and easy to use. Thanks, Hamilton Beach! You are the Queen of small kitchen appliances.

We like the ability to to a fast quick seat of the meat on the cook top and then add the rest of the ingredients. Set your, then either manual cook or set your cooking time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this several months ago and have been overly pleased with my purchase. It's so easy to use and the price for this size of cooker was awesome! I usually fix big meals when my family visits and this cooker is just the right size for cooking in and serving from.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is great for cooking dinner while you are at work or can't be at home to do the cooking. Easy prep work at night or in the morning to throw in the slow cooker to cook dinner. Easy to clean up.

Haven’t used it yet. Like the stovetop browning capability

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this product a few years ago and works good

Super light weight compared to other slow cookers. Extremely easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Large capacity easy to use performs just the way I like good purchase on my part

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received the Hamilton Beach 6 Quart Stovetop Sear and Cook Slow cooker as a gift and it is terrific! I just put the crockpot on the stove burner and browned my meat and then placed it in the slow cooker base and set the timer.All done. The only feature that I miss is that my model didn't have a locking lid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very pleased with this product. The ability to sear meats in the insert is a real convenience. The light weight insert was a welcome relief from the need to handle the normally heavy Crock inserts. The insert is easy to clean due to it's non-stick surface and eliminates the normal soaking a scrubbing necessary to clean a Crock insert.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great product, no more heavy slow cooker. The insert pot is so light-weight and a easy carry. Being able to sear the meat on the range top was so different and easy to do. The clean-up of the insert was quick and easy, so scrubbing or soaking; even a damp cloth cleans it! I just love this slow cooker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: I had misgivings before using it for the first time because slow cookers always have a stoneware insert. Right? This innovative use of an aluminum non-stick pan is a great feature. Using the slow cooker insert, I seared a roast in the insert and then transferred it to the slow cooker. In addition to the roast, I tried a smothered chicken breast recipe and a potatoe soup recipe. Both turned out perfect. This slow cooker insert is light weight - easy to clean - and is dishwasher safe. No heavy stoneware pot to manhandle when cleaning food remnants from the pan and no grayish stains imbedded in the stoneware that you have to polish to remove. Cons: The slow cooker timer counts down in 2 hour increments only. You cannot set the timer to 4:30 minutes, only 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 -10. If you set the timer for four hours, you will not see a countdown in minutes, only the next jum to two hours. When it displays two hours, you don't know if the remaining cooking time is 15 minutes or 1 hour and 59 minutes. The only way around this is to check your wall clock at the same time as you set the timer so you know the food will be finished cooking at 2:00 pm for example. This slow cooker also has a lid that doesn't latch down so you transport the cooker with a tight lid but we only cook for home us so that is not a problem. I don't understand the logic of the two hour countdown feature but this is not a deal breaker for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach 6 Quart Stovetop Sear and Cook Slow Cooker is my new favorite kitchen appliance. Here’s why first it’s super simple and easy to navigate the touchpad. Secondly you only have one dish to clean, you can sear your meat right in the cook pan. Also this cooker weighs less with having an aluminum pan instead of a ceramic and less likely to break.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is pretty much a no-nonsense ( but no fancy bells and whistle) type of slow cooker. It does exactly what its name says. It sears meat nicely, and it also slow cooks nicely. I've made pork tenderloin in it which came out wonderful. The cooking pot is removable so one can prepare foods in it and store it in the refrigerator overnight and then take it out in the morning and plug it in and choose how long the food should cook. One can choose the temperature separately from the cooking time. The cooking time selected, in 2 hour intervals, (i.e. 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, or 10 hours ) lights up for 2 hours, and if the cooking time is longer, it will then light up the cooking time again for another 2 hour period, etc. The slow cooker will switch to a WARM setting automatically when the cooking time has expired. Maximum time the slow cooker is on, including the warm setting, is 14 hours, according to the instruction manual, but I haven't had anything cook more than 6 hours.Oh- the default setting on HIGH is 4 hours. The non-stick interior makes it an easy to clean small kitchen appliance. I also like the oval shape of the pot much more than a round shaped pot.
