Slow Cooker Reviews: Best Slow Cooker, Crock Pot

Best programmable slow cooker

The top-rated Hamilton Beach Set 'n Forget 33967 programmable slow cooker lets you designate cooking times, unlike basic slow cookers that must be switched on and off manually. It can also switch automatically to a… keep-warm setting when the cooking cycle is done, so you don't have to worry about overcooking. One special feature this model includes is a built-in temperature probe, which lets you cook meat to the ideal internal temperature. This 6-quart slow cooker is less expensive than most programmable models, and it generally does well in both professional tests and user reviews.

Most versatile slow cooker

Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 33135

*Est. $50 Compare Prices

Singles and small families will appreciate the versatility of the Hamilton Beach 3-in-1 33135, which comes with three interchangeable stoneware crocks in 2-, 4- and 6-quart sizes. Experts say that this model serves up… tasty, tender meals while allowing you to cater to crowds of all sizes. Users warn that the bowls are heavy, but say they stack neatly, which is convenient for those who are tight on storage space. The 3-in-1 slow cooker, however, does not have programmable features, such as a timer and automatic warmer.
