(Giveaway) Hamilton Beach Set n’ Forget Slow Cooker

 Hamilton Beach Set n Forget Slow Cooker from Noble Pig
It’s Slow Cooker season, I’m sure many of you are as giddy with excitement as I am. However, even though cooler weather seems to scream for slow cooked meals, how many of you are like me and use the slow cooker all year long?

I personally love using the slow cooker in the summertime because it doesn’t heat up the kitchen like the oven. So honestly, I use it all year long. It’s an absolute godsend in the kitchen. And the slow cooker is not just for folks who work all day and need to start dinner early, it’s also a great help for those of us who work at home, take care of children and are just busy. If you don’t have a slow cooker, how do you get by? Is it that you don’t have room for one or you don’t find them useful? I’m curious.

I have had many slow cookers in what my husband refers to as my “appliance lair”, but they have never fulfilled all my needs like this particular model Hamilton Beach has recently sent me. In fact, I’m in loooovve with it. Yes, I fall in love with appliances, I can’t help it. I made this awesome chili in this particular slow cooker just this past week and it turned out perfectly.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking about what my first slow cooker looked like about 20 years ago. It was pretty primitive and kind of ugly, and weirdly colorful. They are so sleek now and match the stainless steel appliances in our kitchens. Such an improvement.

So, here is the main reason I love this new slow cooker, it gives me options. This slow cooker has 
3 Choices for automatic cooking…

Probe ~ Set to the desired meat temperature and it automatically shifts to keep warm when temp is reached. (So helpful when slow cooking a larger piece of meat and the temperature is displayed on the control panel.)
Program ~ Set the cooking time and it will shift to warm when the time is up.
Manual ~ Works just like a traditional slow cooker.

Other Awesome Features:
~A clip-tight lid that makes it perfect for taking your slow cooked meals on the road.
~Power interrupt protection that will keep your slow cooker on during a brief power outage.
~6-quart stoneware crock that will hold a 6 lb chicken or 4 lb roast.

  2. Having a family of seven, I rely heavily on slow cooker recipes. It helps me to be able to serve my family meals that are healthy and delicious, but cuts down on the time it takes me to make dinner once we get home.

  6. I’m a grad student, so I’m short on time and money. I use my slow cooker at least 3 times a week to make stews, soups and chilis. It’s awesome to come home and just have dinner waiting for you without having to spend an hour to cook something.

  9. My standard for ever and ever has been roast beef – cheapest cut of meat usually, and then turn it into hot beef sammies – my sons favorite!!! Lately, I’ve been making soup – and hello, why did I not do soups earlier??? Amazing!!!

  12. I make beef and broccoli, chicken and dumplings, lasagna, chicken for enchiladas and chimichangas, and roast whole chickens in the crock pot. It is my go to for weeknight meals! Without it, I think we would starve.

  27. My favorite meal in the slow cooker is Calypso Turkey Breast! So simple, 3 pound turkey breast roast (both Jenny-O and Butterball make them), a few cups of hot salsa (or mild if you live in Minnesota), a little cinnamon and some apricot jam. Yum! Sweet and spicy!

  32. My favorite is a bone in turkey breast. Frees up my oven for other dishes if it is part of a large meal. But sometimes I cook the turkey breast for sandwiches

  47. This looks like it would make things so much easier! I find that the newer crock pots cook at a higher temp than older ones do and the probe would be helpful so that my food wouldn’t over cook and dry out. I NEED this in my life!!

  71. I love shredding my chicken in a crockpot..I use a can of black beans rinsed..a jar of salsa and half a small can of enchilada sauce..then I can make nachos..fajitas or tacos. I love a programmable slow cooker because

  119. I like to cook my pork for BBQ pork in the slow cooker. I also cook my spaghetti sauce, and my chili (not together they that looks). The slow cooker allows me to fill the container, set the dial and walk away. Love it.

  128. I like to make chili or calico beans in the slow cooker. Especially in the summer when I can cook it outdoors and not heat up the house. Perfect for BBQ get-togethers or chili dogs.

  131. I don’t know what my favorite recipe to make in a slow cooker is, because I don’t yet own one! Ha!

Makes me hungry just thinking about it!!

  144. I love slow cookers for soups! I’ve actually converted some recipes I’ve found that are suppose to be made on the stove to the slow cooker because it makes everything so much simpler to put together.

  155. My favorite thing to make is Buffalo Chicken Dip! It’s definitely a favorite around our house, especially for parties and football days. I also like making a roast with just a stick of butter on top and dry ranch seasoning. I’ve also made applesauce, and it was terrific.

  172. I always make my pinto beans and pork roasts in the slow cooker. Mine is about 35 years old and needs to be retired.
    I would love a new shiny one!

    Reply

  173. I can’t believe I am doing this. My wife works, I’m semi retired. My wife cooked for me now i cook for her. Our crock pot is 40 years old, broken handle but works fine. I cook about 75% of our meals in it. 100% in the winter. My favorite are soups then they turn to stew then to stuffing and finally end up as concrete & thrown to the chickens. I find that a light coating of cooking helps with the cleanup. Well I have cooked about everything in our old crock pot & loved it all.

  176. I love my Hamilton Beach because I can set it and forget it!
    Perfect timing, perfect cooking. My best is the Butterball boneless white meat turkey breast. Only way to cook a turkey.

  188. I own 2 crockpots from the 1970’s. One from my mother and another from my mother-in-law , and they are identical. I would love an updated look from peaqpeen and experiment with all the new technology this Crockpot shows.
