I have never used a crock-pot in my life before getting my Hamilton Beach Crock-Pot.  New users do not fret...you can do this!  Comes with great recipes to get you going, additional recipes are easily accesible online, this crock is great for setting and forgetting!  Although it has no medium setting, I don't know what I'd use it for anyway because no recipe I've found warrants a medium setting.  No worries here folks, plug it in, fill it and wait to enjoy the succulence it brings!

The Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker is a great time saver and cooks your food to the exact desired tenderness. I like the oval shape and low sides on this one better than my old Crock Pot Cooker which was round and had higher sides as it is easier to get to the bottom of the pot to stir or turn your food. My old Crock Pot finally died after 17 years of service. It was Hamilton Beach also so I expect to get plently of delicious meals for years to come.

This is a well-designed unit that really helps me get things done. I've done chili beans and a turkey stew with great results. It is also quite attractive chrome and black. It comeswith a durable black band to secure the lid on the removable tray for transport. On top of that, it is easy to clean. I whole-heartedly recommend this slow cooker from Hamilton Beach.

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 &...

I am probably the biggest fan of the Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker 5.5-Quart Oval . From the read easy dial on the front to the perfect meals I get everytime I use it. The most appealing attribute is I know that whether I am home or at work I came leave my Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker 5.5-Quart Oval and not have to worry about burning my meal or it being over done. Not to mention the clean up it a no brainer with this product. By far one of the best inventions under the sun.

Without it I would be lost. Truly love it!!!

The greatest plus to a crock pot is place all items into the crock pot, turn it on and leave until ready to serve.  This crock pot is great for appearance, size and easy clean up.  Recently some one gave me deer meat and the best thing I could say about the deer meat was the dear was in the woods of many years.  It was beyond tought.  I cut the meat and put into the crock pot with some seasoning and a few hours latter we had a wonderful meal.  This is my third crock pot, sadly I was not able to find a crock pot with a medium setting.

Have you ever considered feeding your pets real food, right for them? Commercial kibble gives dogs mostly cereal which they cannot assimilate, but it's a cheap filler. My 3 dogs, all rescues and blended breeds, get an expensive kibble as a base, and they adore the smell from my slow cooker. When their dishes are set down, they can't wait!

My 5.5 quart oval Hamilton Beach slow cooker was a gift. The actual cooking dish is heavy ceramic. I can set it "low" or "high". I most use the lower setting to cook the dogs' food overnight. When I smell it when I first walk out to the kitchen in the morning...

I absolutely love my Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker.

I have owned other fancier cookers in the past only to have to replace them with in a couple of years because the electronic panel quit working or the heat element inside went bad because I couldn't take the crock out to clean it and had to do so over the sink. I was so glad when I saw the Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker it had a nice crock that lifted out so I could place the meal directly onto the kitchen table without having to dirty a serving dish and still look nice plus after the meal I could wash it out in the sink and not have to worry about ruining...

We had tried a Crock Pot and it was good and provided some great meals, but as our family grew in size it was not big enough to allow everyone to have a good tasting of what was cooked in it. When we got the Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker and it was 5.5 Quarts, we were then able to cook enough for everyone and sometime even have left overs. This item is one of the strongest made and it is duriable. You can use the big heavy bowl to cook your meal in or use a liner that allows for a easier cleaning. After the ,eal is cooked you can serve from thwe pot and set the timer on warm keeping everything hot...

My husband and I enjoy dining it, don't get me wrong. However, we used to eat out a lot more than we should have. Why? Because we both work long hours and by the time we both get home, neither one of us wanted to waste time to cook a meal. We were typically starving, so it was just easier to run and grab something.

Now we are proud owners of this slow cooker! We just set it up in the morning before we head out to work, and by the time we come home after work, we have a delicious fully cooked meal, without any of the hassle of trying to cook once we hit the door. The small investment we made to...

I owned a large slow cooker when I was raising a family and gave it away. Even though I am only in a family of two, I use this slow cooker on a weekly basis. The beauty of it is that I can cook in the morning when I have a lot of energy and eat in the early evening when I just don't feel like doing a thing but stuffing my face. The Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker is nice because I can store the leftovers right in the black covered crock. It was also the most inexpensive slow cooker at Kmart and Walmart.

Overall an excellent product.  It would be nice to have a medium setting, as the low setting is too low.  I either cook on high all day, or I start on high for three or 4 hours then switch to low for the second half of the day.  Chicken comes out incredibly tender & perfect every time.  Beef comes out great if it's in chunks like stew, but it doesn't do a great job on a large beef roast.

I love this Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker! Cooking is so fast and easy. Chili, hotdishes, stews and meats turn out great in this slow cooker. I also have cooked a turkey breast with garlic cloves as well as roast beef. A slow cooker is wonderful for taking to family gatherings and church events. This would make a wonderful gift!

This oval Hamilton Beach slow cooker is a great timesaver. Being able to view the cooking process without lifting the lid is handy because of the clear glass lid. I especially like the "Keep warm" feature to prevent further cooking when waiting for dinner guests.
