Overview
Carrying a hot meal to a potluck or tailgate is the job of this Hamilton Beach cooker, which locks its lid down for transport. A stainless steel exterior surrounds an oval crock that goes in the dishwasher.
Locking the lid makes travel with a full pot far less risky, and the removable crock simplifies cleanup afterward. Control is basic, with a knob and a few settings rather than a programmable timer.
Who it's for
Church suppers, tailgates and big family meals call for a cooker that stays closed in the trunk. Single cooks and small households will find the crock larger than their usual batches need.
Pros and cons
- Lid lock for secure transport
- Crock is dishwasher safe
- Oval shape suits roasts
- Simple knob control
- No programmable timer listed
- Heavy when full
- Oven use of the crock not listed
Performance notes
A low wattage heating base warms the stoneware slowly, so results depend on the setting chosen and on keeping the lid closed during cooking. The oval crock suits longer cuts of meat better than round shapes. Lid locking matters most in transit, where it limits spills.
