Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Make delicious home-cooked meals for the family or to take along to pot lucks, banquets, or other fun gatherings with this 6-quart oval-shaped slow cooker. Its roomy interior offers enough space to accommodate a 6-pound chicken or two 3-pound roasts, or a range of other delicious recipe ideas--from jambalaya or vegetarian chili to a batch of maple baked beans, hot wings, or meat balls. The appliance comes equipped with an "on" indicator light and a user-friendly control dial for choosing low or high heat settings; for selecting the keep-warm mode, which maintains an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking; and for switching the unit off. Designed for at home or on-the-go convenience, the slow cooker comes with an array of built-in travel features. The unit provides large, full-grip, stay-cool side handles; a tight-sealing glass lid with canister-style clips and a gasket to prevent messy spills when transporting; and a serving spoon that clips into the lid handle. Even more, the slow cooker offers a lid rest for easy stirring and serving and a recipe name slot with removable paper labels for quickly identifying what's inside (party recipes come included with matching name tags). Back home, the removable stoneware pot and lid clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Attractively housed in beautiful stainless steel, the slow cooker measures 14 by 10-1/2 by 10 inches.

Product is model number 33162, but may be listed as 33162H or 33162R.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Handle, November 16, 2006

With only two reviews to go by, it was somewhat hard to decide to purchase this product; however, I'm glad that I did. The handles make it very easy to carry, especially when the pot is full, and the secured lid is wonderful - no spills or losing of the lid while in transport! Something that one should know if purchasing this product is that the handles do get warm.

If you're one that does the potluck dinners, then this is a good traveling pot. It is not as awkward to carry, especially when it has food in it (as apposed to the other crock pots, where your knuckles brush against the side and you get burned while carrying it).

Personally I can only find one fault with this product and that is with the handles getting warm, but if I can carry/hold it for about 5 mins. without dropping it or setting it down, then it's not all that bad.

I bought mine at a store, so the price was under $30. Needless to say, I'm pleased with this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superior Unit Produces Yummy Food, January 7, 2010

This review is from: Hamilton Beach 6-Quart Slow cooker (Kitchen)

When my wife told me she wanted a new slow cooker/crock pot for Christmas I almost choked. First because she was asking for something so practical and second because I had no idea what to begin looking for in one of these. Thankfully, there were plenty of reviews here on Amazon to school me. So thanks to all that wrote before me.

So far we've had five meals from this unit. Each one has been great. From the wife's feedback this is an easy to use unit that cooks evenly and thoroughly. She really likes the solid feel of it; the heavy duty inner crockery and the glass lid are particularly robust. She's not a big pot-luck kind of person, but agrees that the built in lid locks and spoon holder will come in handy some time. On a side note, the included spoon is of fairly good quality. I was expecting something cheap and flimsy. Actually, it's about like any other plastic serving spooon you'd find in a department store.

Me, I'm the head dish washer so I look at the unit from the clean up angle. The crockery is easy to remove from the base. Both the lid and the crockery are real easy to clean; there's no problem getting baked on food off of them. As well, the outer metal base wipes down easily and seems to resist collecting streaks or finger prints.

We're well and truly satisfied with this slow cooker. It's a well built unit that cooks food just as advertised. You can't go wrong with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic slow cooker, great value, December 3, 2007

By 

A Customer - See all my reviews

This is a great slow cooker. Attractive stainless steel. Cooks evenly from the sides and the bottom. Perfect low setting (slow 6-7 hour cooking at about 170 degrees). High setting creates a minor simmer at the edges (about 2-3 hours at 190-200 degrees). Keep warm setting does just that. Nice seal on the lid -- it even clamps down for travel. (Don't use the clamps when cooking.) I wish it had an auto-shift, but nothing's perfect. Fantastic value. Beware the terrible recipes in the instruction booklet! (Baked beans recipe is to buy a can of pre-made baked beans and cook for hours -- why??) But who cares, at this price, you can have a few bucks left for a slow cooker cook book. A great product at a great price.
