Great Economical Crock Pot, November 5, 2009

I have never owned a crock pot, but recently my friends have shared recipes that "require" one. After reading reviews at various cooking sites I decided on the Hamilton Beach Stay or Go. So far no complaints. I love the way the top latches and seals for easy transport. The spoon attaches to the top which is also handy. The big oblong shape accomodates spareribs and big roasts easily. The big handles make for easy carrying. I haven't found one negative thing. The price is great.

I LOVE THIS CROCKPOT!, November 5, 2009

I chose this as my mother's day gift several years ago. (I bought this at Wal-Mart for around $25 to $32.) I LOVE IT! Not only can I cook great food for my family of 6, but once a month we have a pot luck at the church. Prior to getting this crock pot we had NUMEROUS spills with many different contraptions to get our old crock pot with the food inside up and down the short hilly ride to church. I haven't had one spill since getting Hamilton Beach Stay or Go slow cooker. The clamps anchor the lid down sealing the black tube-like seal in place. We use this a lot! It's not fancy, but the features that I liked were: #1 - the clamps to keep the food inside while it is being transported. #2 - the sturdy handles make it easy to move the crock pot around without fear of spilling. #3 - It has a place to put the name of the recipe that's cooking in the crock pot over the Hamilton Beach symbol. Since we move this around quite often, it is a great feature to have for the church potlucks.

Sensational Cooker/Server, September 7, 2009

I have had my share of slow cookers over the years but this one has to be the best I have ever come across. My daughter introduced me to it and I was so impressed with it's size, looks and features I just had to have one. The high rubber grip handles are fabulous and I love the lock and go feature for traveling. No more spills in the back of the car!!! The settings are basic yet everything I need or want in a slow cooker. I also like that the spoon snaps in the lid area which also helps when traveling. I love the Hamilton Beach 6 quart SS Slow Cooker and use it 90% of the time for making Chili or Spagetti Sauce.

Have it over a year - Perfect for large families, July 21, 2009

I purchased this crockpot over a year ago, and with a family of 6 we use it heavily. I love the fact that the lid has clamps to transport dishes. The meals I make always turn out fabulous, and with its' large size, I can keep leftovers for the next night. This is a high-quality crockpot and has not failed me yet. There are various temperature settings, and the crock is heavy and well-made. It's perfect for getting dinner on the table within a busy household. I highly recommend this product.

Works great., July 17, 2009
I looked around for decent ratings on a slow cooker. Many were not great: seemed to depend on the particular unit more than anything. I've used this for several weeks and it works fine. We'll see for how long. It wasn't nearly as expensive as a top line All-Clad. Has a simple on/off low/high dial. Perfect for me.
