Hamilton Beach 33966 Set 'n Forget 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker

Comment: I purchased this for my daughter and she could not say enough good things about it.
Any time she would cook a pork loin roast it was always overdone, but with the use of the thermometer it came out perfectly done. It pleased me that I had purchased
something for her that she really enjoys using.

Comment: We researched many slow cookers and for the price this one was the best buy. Love the ceramic cooker that lifts out for cleaning. Easy to operate.

Comment: Temperature probe seems to defeat the purpose of a slow cooker since it stops cooking when it reaches desired temp. Should be able to see temp and continue cooking.
Lid is lower than other slow cooker limiting the size of items you can put in.
A little pricey for what it does. Quality appears to be similar to those at half the price.

Comment: I can't live without it. I have three men in my house that eat unbelievably huge amounts of food, toddler boys that eat like men. My husband, well, eating machine.

I have a bad back and cannot stand long nor bend much. A friend of mine suggested a slow cooker. It cooks slow and fast. I can take frozen chicken thighs and make a full, healthy meal in about 5 hours. I am amazed I did not discover this sooner and really can't live without it now. I can make very large quantities of food and basically go about my day doing whatever needs to be done and not worry.

I have very little time so this is a welcome addition to my home. I just love it. I could probably have bought a "brand name very expensive" slow cooker. Instead I did a lot of research and found this one to be perfect for me. I am happy and the price is definitely right.

Comment: I gave this slow cooker to my granddaughter for Christmas since she works. She likes it very much. It can be programed and is big enough for good size roasts or a turkey breast. She's still experimenting with recipes, but she says it does a good job.
