At last a 5QT oval programable slow cooker
Just saw this unit on Hamilton Beach web site as "NEW". I have been looking for a 5 qt oval with programable features. This ships from GizmoForLife out of Canada. However, they have a warehouse in Fresno, Ca and I live in the Sacramento area so the unit arrived on the second day. Quick service. This unit is well made. Handles are nice and do not feel cheap. The crock pot is slighly tapered in on the bottom. In addition, the crock is microwave safe and oven safe. It comes with a glass lid that actually fits the crock with no "rocking" as it makes good contact all the way around where it sets on the crock. The glass lid has a large plastic handle that is held on with a screw, so one could replace it if it broke off as some do on other brands. Now comes the heat test to see it gets too hot or not hot enough. I started with water half way up at 86.4F with the unit on LOW. At 1 hour water was 119.7F, 2 hours water was 157.3F, 3 hrs water was 178.0F. At hour 4 the unit switched to warm mode...
Really Nice
My old Crock Pot finally broke so I purchased this Hamilton Beach programmable slow cooker. It's really nice and it comes with a rubber band that you can put across the lid and over the handles when you need to take it somewhere full of food. It heats up quickly and the removable pot is very easy to clean (even after chilli was made in it). I highly recommend this. I have no complaints about it at all.
Great cooker!
This cooker is great. My last one (another brand) boiled wildly on low setting, and was impossible on high setting. I've used the Hamilton Beach several times, and the settings are reliable and accurate. I love it!
