Product Description
Hamilton Beach Premiere Cookware 5-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker. There's a reason so many recipes require meat to be seared before cooking - it locks in the flavor. To make it easy, this Slow Cooker has removable cookware for easy stovetop searing that fits in the base to finish the meal.

Slow cooker pot goes onto burner and into the oven,
By Stan Burkes (Pensacola, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hamilton Beach Premiere Cookware 5-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker (Kitchen)
I was watching Rick Bayless' "Mexico, One Plate At a Time" and saw him using something like this so I tracked it down on Amazon. What a great idea -- the removable pot is made of cast aluminum and can go onto a stove top. I can saute vegetables, brown a roast and then lift the pot (using oven mitts) into the slow cooker to finish while I'm at work.
The aluminum pot's walls and bottom are about half an inch think and distribute heat evenly. I expected to find hot spots because it's oblong and my burners are round. That wasn't a problem. I've simmered marinara sauce directly on the stove top and haven't noticed any difference in temperature between the center of the pot and either end. I've also used it on the stove top to cook lasagna noodles. It's large enough to roast a whole chicken. Sometimes slow cookers finish their cycles with everything done well, but with too much liquid left in the pot. With this one, I can just set the pot on a burner and quickly thicken the sauce. I'm impressed.

I chose this slow cooker because the outside is stainless steel,the insert is removable, and it has a large capacity. I can brown meat on the stove in the same pan that I slow cook it in. Because I didn't read carefully I didn't realize that it wasn't programable until I unpacked it. Other than that it works well and meets my needs adequately.

Recommend for heavy use,

This review is from: Hamilton Beach Premiere Cookware 5-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker (Kitchen)
I keep losing ceramic inserts to cracking. This high quality dutch oven style metal insert is the answer to my needs. My slow cooker is on 24/7 for my dogs [most death row dogs coming from starvation situations]. I have to book time for us to cook other items. I may have to get another one.
I love the two sets of handles, the nice space between the base and insert edge, the steam vent in the glass lid. It would benefit from pour spout in the center of the insert. The metal lid handle gets hot, watch the fingers. I would like 7 qts, but I over fill everything so the bigger it is the more I will fill it anyway. I recommed this with no reservations; shades of Cook's Illustrated...
