Hamilton Beach Set & Forget 6 Quart Programmable Slow Cooker vs Kalorik SC 41175SS

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

I got some slow cooker receipes online and everything has come out super great. Awesome Buy :) [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

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)

I tried buying a warranty but wrote them to no avail. I wouldn’t recommend. It works but is cheaply put together and likely won’t last a year. Mine didn’t

This wonderful slow cooker was comparably the best value for the money and sold for a lot less than other slow cookers on the market. If you are an avid slow cooker fan you will appreciate this appliance.

Great price, cheaper then any other place I looked into. Great quality, works perfect. I made meatballs and gravy for our Christmas dinner, love it!

Within minutes, there was a very strong burning plastic smell. We turned it off and discovered the smell was coming from where the electric cord attaches to the pot. Since this is a fire hazard, we will have to dispose of the cooker. This is ridiculous after such a short period of time and using it no more than about once a month

Now it will not work because evidently if you do not lock it it will not function. Garbage. Seller has not returned any of my messages I have sent. In addition I just got an email back from the maker saying they will not Warranty this item because of where I bought it

So after about 5 hours, I took the lid off and let it cook on high. This did the trick. The watery sauce began to change into the thicker sauce I wanted. After this, I returned the lid and put the pork on low for another 1 hour and again removed the lid for the final hour

This is truly the worst product I have ever bought. I used it one time and it took forever to cook my meal because it kept turning off. Today I got it out again to give it another try and it wouldn't allow me to even set the temp at all. I push the "low, high, warm" button and nothing happens! I'm so frustrated because I should've sent it back immediately- I just didn't use use it for almost 3 months after purchasing it
