Crock-Pot Thermoshield SCCPCT600-B vs Hamilton Beach Portable 6-Quart with Probe

The size of this Crock-Pot is also awesome it's just the right one for a family of five or more. I enjoy that I can either cook things on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours and I don't have to keep it cooking just to keep dinner warm because the automatic setting to keep things warm on its own. I'm really excited to have this Crock-Pot for family dinners or if someone comes over or even for the holidays. [This review was collected as part of a promotion

I should get the measurements on how long the actual probe is. So I'm gonna grab a tape measure quick. Okay, so I took it out of the package I'm just ...

This crock pot has some really nice features the main one that I like. Is it has a really secure, locking lid on it and yeah? That's super easy to ope...

I feel using the cooking bags help with my peace of mind, as well as with cleanup. The wire clamps to secure the crock for travel seem like they would work fine, but I don't travel with food, so I have only found them a bit annoying because they don't fold completely away from the side of the crock and you cannot use them while cooking. Another model is probably the same, but without the clamps. I was just overwhelmed with all the reading I did and picked this one without considering that I might not want the clamps

2 Stars - I've purchased two of these units and each time the insert cracks and has to be replaced. Yet, whenever I've called to get a replacement they are on backorder and nearly the same price as buying a new one. I am now once again in need of another crock pot as I've tossed out my second unit. It still worked just fine but its useless without being able to replace the insert

Yes if you do the math this wasn’t that expensive per meal etc. but I like to buy something I can count on to work long term, even if it costs a little more. Lots of people love this, and that’s great. I can tell you that after 4 years with mine, it definitely resembles what you expect from an opening price point brand (only, that’s not the price they are charging)

If I need something to cook on low for 6 hours, well I'm out of luck and I'm stuck watching the crockpot. I really recommend getting a programmable crockpot to set the specific time, if it doesn't fit into the neat 4,6,8, or 10 time slots and so you can set the temperature. Other than that, the product is great quality, has a locking lid for easy transfer, and gets the job done.

If the temperature gets too high, you can manually turn it down. Lastly, I haven't had to travel with this, but another reason why I bought this model...

Expensive. Have gone back to my regular crock pots to use when I am at work as I need a 6 to 8 hour timing before I get home from work.

I’ve had this crockpot for years and, while I love the functionality of the digital settings, I am fed up with how hot it gets/quickly it cooks. It’s not a huge issue for some dishes, but when you have a pot roast or any kind of meat you want to be tender it becomes very frustrating. I’m about to toss a roast that it cooked in 2 hours on LOW. I think I’ll toss this crockpot along with it

The inner pot, where the food cooks, is very easy to clean. What's better than easy cooking? Easy clean up. I like finding and trying new Crockpot recipes. They are so easy and fun to make

However, I did come across an awesome blog called a year of slow cooking that presented me with a bunch of easy-to-make recipes in very little time. (Since then I have found other blogs with other recipes: Get Crocked and 365 days of slow cooking for example but a year of slow cooking is still my favorite.) The recipe problem solved, I started cooking using my small, old, and very basic crockpot. And that crockpot was doable but some recipes call for cooking on low for 9 hours; others for 6 and really all I want is to throw the ingredients into the crockpot and forget about it

WORKED GREAT BUT THE LID LOCKING CLAMP BROKE OFF WHEN I WAS CLEANING IT. THE RIVET CAME LOOSE AND THE CLAMP WOULD NO LONGER LOCK. CANNOT EVEN FIND A REPLACEMENT LID ANYWHERE

The face of it is already starting to come off. The crock insert is much harder to clean than the original so they definitely changed the finish on that as well.

Question # 2. Does this crockpot have a bag warmer Answer? No, the Crock-Pot, 6.0-Quart ThermoShield Cook and Carry Slow Cooker. Do not have a bag

I did not like the control panel that is a soft push button plastic material that will wear away real fast. I think the price point is a bit high for the quality of the product.
