Customer Reviews of Hamilton Beach 33144 Stay-or-Go 4-Quart Slow Cooker, White
Customer Rating:   Summary: The insert cracked after a few months use Comment: I was pretty happy with it, the lock things can get in the way but overall it worked well until one day the insert cracked all across the bottom and roast drippings seeped out. Since it's been a few months now I'm stuck with it and had to buy another crock pot. To my dismay, spending a lot more for a Kitchen Aid was not really the answer either as so many people report the same thing, the insert cracks. It's the cheap manufacturing practices, no quality, don't care mentality, of just about anything you buy these days. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice little slow cooker, though a bit strange Comment: NOTES: First, the "locking handles for easy transport": the locks are on the body of the slow cooker, so you can't take out the porcelain insert and lock the lid onto it; if you want it locked, you have to take the whole device. Second, between the (optional) locks and the rubber gasket on the lid, the cooker creates a tightly sealed cooking compartment, and things cook differently as a result. Liquids don't cook off anywhere near as fast, and the flavors don't cook together quite the same. PROS: The shape of the oval cooker is *perfect*. I got a nice-sized roast in the little thing. The temperature goes from just-warm to boiling, very versatile. It can go longer without attention because it retains moisture so well. CONS: Some slow-cooker recipes may need tweaking because the cooking compartment is sealed tightly. More seriously, like most removable-insert crockpots, it wastes a *lot* of heat on the outside - it gets quite hot to the touch and is not efficient for summer use by any means. Overall, for a small, not-too-expensive crockpot, it's really quite nice! I've only had it for a couple of months, so no comments on durability. Customer Rating: Summary: great for small households Comment: After looking at different brands and sizes of slow cooker, this is the one I decided on. It is just right for a smaller household. The directions in the booklet are clear and the options [low, high, keep warm] all most of us may need.

Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers By law manufacturers must disclose the energy efficiency of their appliances, rated A to G. These are usually displayed prominently in showrooms. The better the rating, the more energy efficient the appliance is - good for both the environment and your pocket. Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers Added features such as ice making and drinks dispensers can all add to the appeal of certain models. Ice making is an option on many American style fridge-freezers, sometimes available without opening the door, as are cold water dispensers. Zoned models offer several storage areas, all at different temperatures, designed to keep a variety of foods fresh for longer. Most manufacturers now offer adjustable shelf heights and storage units which simplify food storage. Hamilton Beach 33144 Stay-or-Go 4-Quart Slow Cooker, White
