A few months ago, we decided to save money by cooking our own food. (We had been eating Trader Joe’s frozen meals and going out and that gets expensive very quickly.) Thing is, neither my husband nor I love cooking all that much. So I guess it comes as no surprise that I am terrible at it. However, I did come across an awesome blog called a year of slow cooking that presented me with a bunch of easy-to-make recipes in very little time. (Since then I have found other blogs with other recipes: Get Crocked and 365 days of slow cooking for example but a year of slow cooking is still my favorite.) The recipe problem solved, I started cooking using my small, old, and very basic crockpot. And that crockpot was doable but some recipes call for cooking on low for 9 hours; others for 6 and really all I want is to throw the ingredients into the crockpot and forget about it.
My old basic crockpot didn’t let me do that. The Hamilton Beach, on the other hand does. And it is so easy to use! I hate electronics (ask my husband) but I can operate this crockpot with ease. You just press the on button (the red circle on the left) then select the time by pushing the up/down arrows on the right, press enter, select the heat setting press enter and you’re done. Once it’s finished, it goes to Warm setting so your food doesn’t spoil. This means that if you set it on a Friday night and want to sleep in Saturday morning, you can. You really don’t have to worry about getting up just to turn off the crockpot. If you are cooking a full chicken or something as big as that you can use the thermometer probe and set your own temperature you want maintained to make sure that meat is cooked properly. It also has one of those lids that locks down with simple lever clamps at each end so now I can be one of “those” people who takes up the office kitchen because we are having a potluck. The lid does have a rubber seal but do be sure to keep it upright because there are small vent holes and a hole for the probe to be inserted through the glass lid.
All in all, this really is a set it and forget it crockpot (as advertised). It is also worth noting (because this has been in the news) that Healing Gourmet (a food safety site) lists Hamilton as one of the ten brands to look for when choosing a crockpot and that wirecutter (a site that reviews the gadgets in our lives) tells us that this crockpot “outperformed much more expensive models.” In a couple of negative reviews I have seen, there were complaints about the glass breaking. The instructions say to only clamp down the lid when transporting food. My husband says that there is a good chance that tightening the lid while cooking would put extra stress on the glass making it more likely to break/shatter. So bear this in mind.
I admit I haven’t tried those more expensive models (the whole point of using a crockpot to begin with was to save money) but I have to admit I am a little in love with this crockpot and highly recommend it.

This was my second time using this crockpot. The first use was great, as was the second use... until I went to put the lid in my dishwasher. The lid had been sitting OFF of the crockpot for roughly 2 hours by the time I went to put it into the dishwasher, so it’s not like the glass was still hot. Well, as I set the lid into the dishwasher, it quite literally exploded (which you can see from the pictures). I am at a loss for words due to the fact that I have never seen this happen before especially after just two uses! I am going to contact the company and see if they will replace it for me because I don’t have any complaints about the crockpot in and of itself, just the fact that I now have a dishwasher full of glass.

Whole stainless steel outside collapsed on one side upon using for the first time!
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019
I have owned this same crockpot for 15 years and loved it so much that I recently decided to purchase a second one. The quality has certainly declined since I bought my first one 15 years ago. Upon removing from packaging it seemed great until I used it for the first time! First time use the whole stainless steel outside collapsed in on one side after only being on low! I have just received a replacement one and praying this doesn’t happen again. I will update my review after first use of the replacement.

3 Rd time I used it I placed stew in it for no more than 8 hours on low overnight. Woke up at 4 am and smelled a weird chemical smell. Went into the kitchen and the crockpot was melting! How can you trust a product like this that you can't use unless you have to monitor it. I'm lucky I woke up. It could have started a fire while my family and I were sleeping.

This one lights when setting the controls for a few seconds and re-lights by pushing the dial.
The probe fits through the lid at 3 points with well sealed grometts.
The lid sits nicely on the rubber rim and seals well. (Don't use the clamps for cooking).
Easy to use, un-complicated for basic functions.
No delay timer but it will hold and keep warm when done.
Complains were mostly about the thin flexible body.
It will sit on my counter so damage is un-likely.
The heavy clamps and handle on the lid should make transporting safe.
For $90 a good buy.
