Hamilton Beach 33162 Stay or Go Stainless Steel

$40.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.walmart.com
after i had it on high a while i left it on warm the rst of the time i had the food in there and it stayed at a regulated temp and didn't get all funky on the top of the food like my last pot.
from www.walmart.com
i can fill it up with my ingredients before i leave the house, plug the crock pot in when i get to my first location, and the food is ready by the time we go to the second stop.
from www.walmart.com
it keeps warm for so long, and traveling is so much easier, you don't have to worry about your food spilling or being cold.
from www.walmart.com
i liked a lot of its features, but felt it overcooked the food and i was frustrated i couldn't automatically set the programming to "warm"--i had to wait for it to cycle through hot or low cooking
from www.walmart.com
it's wonderful for baking potatoes and i use it often to carry food to school where i work.

Farberware FSSC500 5-Quart

$52.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
more flavor with slow cooking certain foods and no worry having it cook while i am at work.
from www.amazon.com
in my opinion it's the best 5 qt round ceramic slow cooker - because un-like so many other inexpensive slow cookers it has 3 true settings that are not too hot to boil your food away.
from www.amazon.com
some will suggest using a timer to start the food several hours into the day with a "hotter" pot, but i do not feel comfortable with that approach, for food safety reasons.
from www.amazon.com
after buying a different model a few weeks ago that promptly overcooked my food in less than 6 hours on low and boiled away the whole time, i learned that many of the newer slow cookers just cook way
from www.amazon.com
it is the only one of dozens i have investigated that does not boil food on low.

from www.qvc.com

my issue was putting food in to cook when i leave the house in the morning, only to have it cook 9 hours while we were all gone during the day - almost everything was way over done.
from Patricia, www.cooking.com
i have tried several slow cookers in the past and they all have burned food.

All-Clad 99009 6.5-Quart

$200.00 Est. at Amazon

from Patricia, www.cooking.com
for example i cooked a goulash on high for 5 hours then wanted to drop the temp to low for an hour, then have it go to warm to hold the food but the shortest time it will allow on low is 4 hours.
from Anna, www.cooking.com
it works exactly as i hoped, holding large quantities of food at a steady temperature.
from Robert, www.cooking.com
everybody thought i should have my own food channel show!!!!
from Dennis, www.cooking.com
if i am cooking for just family, or doubling the recipe for dinner guests, the food comes out great every time.
from "Food Network addict", www.abt.com
the seasonings remain on the food, instead of being drowned out by the sauce.

from Lois, www.cooking.com
i like this crockpot the i would like it if it cooked at a lower temp on the low settings if i put it on 10hrs even frozen food is done in 6hrs.
from Deborah, www.cooking.com
it has a beautiful ceramic insert that you use to cook the food...
from Sannylou from Lanham, Maryland, www.circuitcity.com
you put your foods on high and it automatically lowers the temp.

i have also bought several as gifts..a perfect thoughtful gift for people that live alone, as they don't needto make a huge amt of food, like you do in the larger crock pots.
from Janice, www.cooking.com

i could put my food on low and go to work and when i retuned it was done and no burns no matter what it was.
from www.everyespressomachine.com
after i get all my food in it, its still light enough to handle.
from www.amazon.com

having three sized stoneware crockpots allows me to utilize the perfect vessel for the amount of food i am preparing.
from www.amazon.com
however, she said it cooks food a lot faster than slow cooker recipes say.
from www.amazon.com
i do have to say that it cooks faster than recipes say to cook food, but after a few times i know that and can adjust.
from www.amazon.com
the warm setting is very useful during the dinner parties as it keeps the food at just the right temperature to ensure that second helpings are hot but not still simmering.
from www.amazon.com
now when i want to make a little or a lot of food i have a choice of which size bowl i need.

it is that it doesn't seal as well as other crock pots i've tried and if your a pro user you need to add a little more water to your recipes to account for this or your food will be drier than usual.

i had a rival that i hated because it burned food even on the low setting.

from www.target.com
and for lots of food with leftovers, i use the 6 qt.
from www.target.com
i have tried several of the actual rival crockpot brands, and i always seem to have problems with the food burning and drying out.
from www.amazon.com
i never ended up using it more than a handful of times because the thing would get far too hot for a slow cooker and end up charring the food.
from www.amazon.com
on a few recipes, food has burned in spots at the bottom of the stoneware but it comes off easily with a short soak.
from www.amazon.com
the temperature of the food is well within accepted guidelines.

from www.amazon.com
when i saw this one, i thought it might work better since you can vary the size of the crock according to the amount of food.
from www.amazon.com
generally i use the smallest pot (2qt) as i am making meals just for me, but it's great to have the ability to make a larger pot of food for company or a huge pot of food for parties!
from www.amazon.com
i have used all 3 sizes and they all produce great food, i thought maybe the 6 quart would not function well because so much of it sits above the cooking base but as long as you select the right size
from www.amazon.com
i love the three settings of heat for the different bowls (i also select the heat setting depending on how fast i want to cook) and the bowls are pottery so no leaking anything into my food and it

from www.target.com
the hamilton beach crockpots are always competitive in price with the more popular rival, but rarely have you heard complaints about the hamilton beach crockpot having hot spots and burning the food
from www.target.com
i can't tell you how many times when i have borrowed a crock pot and traveled with food and prayed nothing would spill (i'm a rather clumsy person).
from www.target.com
it does not overcook and dry out food, and does not lose heat due to the smartly crafted lid that locks in place, as well as the rubber seal that is attached to the lid itself.
from www.target.com
i don't see any need to spend 50+ dollars on the models which are digital when this one works so great and cooks the food beautifully.
from www.amazon.com
the rubber lid gasket keeps steam from escaping so well that i can barely smell the food as it slow cooks (i miss the nice smells, but it's better for the food, so i won't complain much).

from www.amazon.com
it seems to cook food evenly and does not burn.
from www.amazon.com
on the other hand, the simmer setting is what's missing from some other slow cookers, and perhaps that's why foods get burned.
from www.amazon.com
you can easily cook large meat or a small portion of food.

my wife was so excited to throw away her grandmother's crockpot and upgrade to this model, but now she can't cook dinner while at work because it burns all our food--even on the lowest setting.
