Hamilton Beach 33625 Meal Maker 6.5-Quart Slow Cooker

Pros: Tender Meat. Easy Cleanup. Inexpensive.
Cons: None.

My wife and I purchased the Proctor Silex Crock Pot nearly two years ago. We used to own a smaller (4 quart) crock pot, that did not have a removable interior. The thought of cleaning a pot that has a plug attached to it has never appealed to me....

Pros: Great food preparation
Cons: None

Maybe it was the low price, its availability, or the fact that cold rain had been coming down for hours, making me think of warm food, but I went and bought a crockpot the other day. What I don't know about kitchen equipment could several books, so...

Pros: easy cooking, easy cleaning, easy on the eyes
Cons: you get a lot of leftovers if it's just you and your spouse

From the other epinions on written on slow cookers, you probably already know how convenient and handy these little things can be. I got my Proctor Silex 6 Qt. Slow Cooker several months ago and I too have discovered the magic of the crock. (ooh la la)...

Pros: The automatic temperature control
Cons: not a one as far as I'm concerned

I know, I know; we've all got the very best. If it wasn't the best, we wouldn't have bought it. In this particular case, however, it happens to be true for me. Looking at the manufacturer's photo when I began this, I now think my particular...

Pros: Ease of use, easy to clean, great time saver.
Cons: None.

After a long day at work who wants to come home and spend a hour preparing, cooking and cleaning up after the meal. No me. Not my wife. Probably not you. The answer. Why the good old crock pot. Easy to use, easy to clean and your meals are ready when you...

Pros: No constant monitoring food,removable crock
Cons: Glass lid is hard to find a replacement for if broken

When I was a newlywed,one of the first gifts my father bought me was a crockpot.Being dairy farmers,my husband and I are outside most of the day so we don't have alot of time to fuss over dinner.When the weather is cold and we are exceptionally busy,we...

Pros: cooks food evenly
Cons: nothing bad to say

On busy days, the last thing I want to think about is what to cook for supper. When I know in advance I have a hectic schedule ahead of me, I pull my slow cooker out and let it do the cooking for me while I go about running errands. The best thing I like...

Pros: ease of preparation, ease in cleanup, cook and serve in one dish, menu ideas included
Cons: short cord

Although I did not purchase this product for myself, I do consider it one of the most valuable items in my kitchen. With the ease of both preparation and cleaning, the Proctor Silex 6 Qt. Slow Cooker takes the headache out of cooking for a family...

Pros: Easy to use, easy cleanup
Cons: none

By far one of the two best investments in small appliances I've made in the past year is my Rival 6 qt. slow cooker. (The other one is the large George Forman grill...see THAT review!)

I work part time and my husband works full time. We have...

Pros: easy to clean
Cons: hot exterior

I recently purchased the Rival 6 qt. crockpot (in ivy) with the removable ceramic liner. I love that it is so easy to clean now, my old crock pot was a beast to clean, because the liner didn't come out. I also love the size, I can cook a whole chicken...

Pros: Time and money saver
Cons: Long cook time

To use a crock pot or not is the question. I bought a Rival 6 quart crock pot 13 years ago when my husband and I were first married to use to save time in fixing meals. I found that using a crock pot for two people was more of a hassle then a help....

Pros: cooking in one pot
Cons: the ones with the crock that doesn't come out

Where do I begin. I LOVE my slow cooker. It has saved me from a headache so many times. I've cooked anything from white beans to chili to roast to beef stew. The best thing about this is you can put everything that would go into a recipe in there in the...

Pros: Very easy, no brainer meals
Cons: The outside of the appliance gets very hot

3 words define how I feel about the Rival 6 Quart Cooker: I LOVE IT!!

I was married in 1990 and I had no clue about how to cook a meal. So. for about 5 or 6 years I plundered around the kitchen with...

Pros: Versatile, Inexpensive, Works Great
Cons: None

This has been my crockpot of choice. I used to have a West Bend crockpot and it cooked from the bottom up only and usually overcooked everything I put into it. This crockpot cooks evenly from the bottom and the sides. A much better alternative in my...

Pros: Consistent Temps, Easy to Use and Clean
Cons: 6 qts may not be big enough if you are feeding more than 7-8 people

This Modern Day Crock pot is a working moms best friend. I am able to throw so many different things in this crock pot and always know when I arrive home the meal will be yummy, hot and ready to go.

I have found that the temperature level...
