Reviewers love the versatility of the Hamilton Beach 33134 3-in-1 slow cooker because its three interchangeable cooking pots (2-, 4- and 6-quart) allow them to cook for small and large crowds alike. Experts say that all three pots do an excellent job of cooking, while users love that the pots nest for easy storage. Users say that the multi-colored bowls are attractive and mesh with most modern décor. The Hamilton Beach slow cooker is also available in white and stainless-steel versions. The major drawback? It isn't programmable, so it isn't ideal for those who work outside of the home. If you need an automatic timer, reviewers say that you can't go wrong with the All-Clad 99009 (*Est. $200).
