Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker 5.5-Quart Oval Review

LIke most people, we all know about the "crock pots".   I had one for years & used it just like everyone else did.  Then, while browsing one day, I found this Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker & figured it was time to try something new.  From the 1st time I used it, I was hooked.   I have come up with so many recipes to fix in this & I don't end up spending a lot of time in the kitchen.  As an Office Worker with my Office located off to the side of the house, I can pop in food, set it & walk away knowing I have nothing else to do for our evening meal.   It cooks evenly, is easy to clean up & the food is delicious.  Have you ever had a meatloaf done in a slow cooker?  I started that about 2 yrs. ago, passed the recipe on to a friend of mine & she raves over it & has passed it on to others.  Just mix up your meatloaf the usual way, shape it into a loaf  & I keep mine in the fridge overnight.  The next morning, pop the meatloaf in the slow cooker & walk away....it comes out so delicious, moist, no over baking, no dryness, etc.  They've recently come out with cooker liners & these are great also.  Just pop one in the crock, put in your food & when you take the food out, just pop out the liner & toss.   A quick hot sudsy wash is all your slow cooker needs to clean it up.  I could not live without mine as I don't have the time nor the interest to always be in the kitchen.
