Hamilton Beach 6 Quart Sear and Cook Slow Cooker

Love,love,love this crockpot! I bought one for my sister and have been jealous of it for a few years. My old heavy crock pot finally broke so I finally bought this one. It is so light and easy to wash because it is not heavy ceramic. Also like that can put it on the stove to brown meat or put in the oven to warm leftovers faster. Just don’t put the lid in the oven or the handle will melt, just ask my sister.

I am surprised I don't see this more often... this is a great crock pot/slow cooker. It is lightweight (I have weak wrists so this has been amazing!), the stove top safe function is AMAZING I love being able to sear meat right in the pot before transferring it to the slow cooker. It is non stick which makes cleaning it SO easy even after cooking something for hours it's not a pain to get clean. I was concerned it might be too small but it's been perfect to cook for my family of 6 (with big appetites). It also isn't too bulky for storing... overall just love it. I do wish the handles were a little bigger to allow pot holders to be used more easily when transferring the pot from the stove to the slow cooker but definitely recommend this one if you are looking for an upgrade or to make meal time easier!

Great value. The inner pan is lightweight and cooks perfectly.

I like this slow cooker but have to admit I was surprised by the "crock". Yes, I read that you can put the crock on a stovetop to sear food prior to slow cooking or even put it in a hot oven but, frankly, the product description didn't make it clear to me that the "crock" was metal instead of a heavyweight ceramic as is the historical norm. Since I likely will not sear food, I wondered would the lightweight metal crock cook the same as my old ceramic crock? To find out I cooked a large chuck roast as I usually do, on slow for 6-8 hours. Here are my results: • Heat-up time: Metal crock with food heated up much faster. • Cook time on low: Faster cook time. About 25% faster. • Reached safe eating temperature faster. • Final result was beef that browned and got tender as usual. Just faster. I still used a disposable slow cooker liner even though the metal crock is non-stick coated. I like the automatic “go to warm” feature after your set cycle time completes. Metal crock is light weight which may be good for some people. Simple controls are adequate for most needs without undue complexity. If you need a timed start look elsewhere.

Dependable mid sized slow cooker. I use at least every two weeks for various dishes. Easy to use and cleans easily. I like that the lid can be locked when transporting for added safety.

Awesome, You can brown meat in the same pan. It can go from fridge to oven. And very easy to clean.

Quality is evident and ur results will amaze

The ceramic lining of my 25 year old crock pot cracked so I needed a new crockpot. The company that made my old one no longer makes crockpots. I chose this crockpot because 1). It is the same size as my old crockpot 2). I wanted to have multiple cook times/temperature settings. This review is for the 33662, not the one that locks. When it arrived I was a little worried because it was so light, but definitely a plus over my old crockpot. I was a little concerned that the insert is non-stick aluminum since my last one was ceramic. I have used this crockpot three times so far. I usually use the crockpot 2-3 times a month. I am actually very happy with the light weight nonstick aluminum insert. I used liners in the past but with this crockpot they are not necessary (so far). It cleans up very fast. The light weight also makes it easier to handle while cleaning. My only concern is that the crockpot seems to cook things hotter/faster than my old crockpot and I have had to adjust the cooking times for some recipes but knowing that and adjusting is a minor issue. Because of how light it is I do worry about it’s longevity but I don’t expect anything to last like they used to. Overall I am happy with the purchase.

I ordered this for the convenience of to being able to sear meat in it and love everything about it! It’s light, easy to sear, easy to slow cook, easy to clean, easy to set timer and have it stay warm after it’s cooked…loving it all!!

IT blew up on arrival - dumped it

Me gusta porque es muy sencilla de operar

I bought to replace my 20 year old slow cooker with the heavy ceramic insert. Pleased to report that this one is sooo much lighter but just as sturdy. I’ve been using it for a while now and love using it.
