maggiekl's Full Review: Hamilton Beach 33675 Meal Maker 7-Quart Slow Cooke...
As a mother of 2 and step mother of 2 I am usually very busy. Our crockpot gets a LOT of use!
We bought our Hamilton Beach Crockpot when hubby and I first got an apartment together. That was 7 years ago and we still have the same one!! We do use it more now that we have 4 kids than we did when it was only 2 kids.
It is so easy to use, just put the ingredients in it and turn it on. Give it a stir once in a while and you're good to go!! There are different settings for the heat (low, medium and high). We usually just use the low. An added bonus to crockpot cooking is how wonderful the house smells all day with dinner cooking!
This particular crockpot has a removable ceramic liner which I think is such a great idea!! It is a lot easier to clean than when they were all one piece and you were not able to submerse in water. You just remove the liner and fill it with water in the sink and in a short amount of time it cleans up like nothing! The cooking unit (the part that has the cord that plugs into the wall) is not as easy to clean but is still manageable.
One downside to this liner is it is fairly heavy and if it gets dropped it is bound to break. We did break our liner once and we called the company and we were able to replace it very easily We did have to pay for the replacement liner. Their customer service department was very helpful and efficient. We had our replacement liner within a couple of days.
We have found this crockpot to be very durable. We use it about 3 times a week at least and have not had any problems at all. We put our mixings for dinner in it in the morning and leave it turned on low until dinner time and it works wonderfully!
There are tons of great crockpot recipes but that is another category!!
