Hamilton Beach 6 Qt. Stainless Steel Slow Cooker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Slow cooker. It has so many different functions. I think my favorite is the temp tracker. Not only can I track the temp while making a roast but I can make yogurt! I don’t have to worry about using a pressure cooker or continually checking the temp. I also like that there are 4 different holes to place the temp probe making it easier to check the temp on what I am cooking. The size of the pot is larger than other slow cookers I have had and it is very easy to use. I am loving this slow cooker and will be using it a lot. I would recommend the Hamilton Beach Temp Trackerâ„¢ 6 Quart Slow Cooker to all my friends and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great slowcooker! I used a recipe for a sirloin tip roast, that said it would take 8 hours to cook a 4 – 5 lb roast. This was not the case! The roast, cooked using the temperature probe, was cooked in half that time! The roast was tender and juicy and vegetables cooked perfectly, just be sure to put the vegetables in at the start. The unit cleans up very easily. The lid has 3 holes to insert the probe, when cooking using internal temp. One note, when the probe is removed during cooking, you will have to restart the program. The lid on the unit maintains a great seal and uses two clamps, one at each end. the unit has a very modern design and the stainless steel outer covering fits in any decor! I believe this to be a great appliance for anyone looking to replace an existing slowcooker!

Have only run a test, so cannot say much about the actual cooking. The test went very well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this slow cooker, the temp tracker is amazing and eases my mind, I don’t have to worry of it is under, or over cooked, I can always see the exact temperature inside! The hold feature is also great because you can keep your soup at whatever temperature you desire. It looks so nice and goes perfectly with my kitchen.

Everything I wanted in a crock pot! Programmable for time and temperature, 3 heat settings and very easy to use! Very pleased with thr purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product a few weeks ago and I’m so glad I did!!! There are so many amazing things about this product but my favorite it the Integrated probe that tracks your foods temperature! And you can cook without it if desired! There is nothing I dislike about this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this crockpot just recently. I do like the ease of use and the more options that I get from my other crockpot.I do like the better control over the timer to set when cooking, so much better than my other one.I also enjoy having the locking lid for carrying if you are helping out with a potluck meal.I would definitely recommend this product.I did have a small hot spot towards the back that burned my food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this to review. I was very impressed with this new probe system, it worked really nice. It didn’t overcook it and then went to warm when it was done. I also tried just the slow cooker feature and this also worked great. This is a nice addition to my appliances.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach Temp Tracker Slowcooker is extremely user-friendly. It was easy to set-up, add my meal’s ingredients, and clean-up after using. The probe gives me extra assurance that the food being prepared is cooked to the proper temperature. I would highly recommend this product to anyone, especially a novice cook!
