Hamilton Beach Sear & Cook Stock Pot Slow Cooker with Stovetop Safe Crock, Large 10 Quart Capacity, Programmable, Silver (33196)

Me gustó qué la puedes programar tanto en temperatura como en tiempo.La use para preparar comida y considero es excelente.

I have been wanting this large Crock Pot for about a year. So, understandably, my expectations of it were quite high, and I am delighted to say it did not disappoint. I love soups, stoops, stews, and chilies, and I have never mastered cooking small batches of these foods. Also, being disabled, I'm not too fond of lots of cleanup, and slow cooking is a huge energy saver for me. Because of these cooking interests and requirement needs, I felt this would be a great addition to my cooking appliances.Multiple key features were eye-catching when I saw it, and after using these features, I found its performance flawless and above my expectations. The test meal was a bratwurst German cabbage black bean soup with creamy mushroom beef broth. This would give me an excellent introduction to the crockpot's abilities.First and very important is that I know it says it is lightweight, but I was amazed at how easy the large cooker is to maneuver. Do not confuse lightweight for cheap. It is a quality piece that has been well thought out to maximize its cooking ability with ease of use, exactly what you want in a crockpot.Its ability to sear on the stovetop and then move the cooking container right to the slow cooker is a great time saver. The cooking operations are simple but flexible enough to meet your slow cooking needs.The programmable settings are very intuitive. I hate when an item is trying to do everything and making you feel that you need an engineering degree to use it. This crockpot has the programmable features you need to make life easier and skip the frustration of needing a doctorate to use it.There are pop-up handles on the outside of the side of the cooker to quickly move it around, even though I have the counter space for the appliance. I found this feature necessary for a large crock pot. Many people will want to store this item when not in use, for it is sizable. These handles make moving it from location to location a breeze.Clean-up was simple. The lightness and non-stick surface of the inner cooking pot allowed the minimum effort to clean it up and have it ready for the next meal. The soup turned out perfect. What I cooked was:• Roughly two pounds of bratwurst sausage cut into 1/2 inch pieces and browned. Then, I moved into the crock pot.• The bag of black beans was soaked overnight. Something I recommend is if you have hard water and, then drained of excess water and then add it to the crockpot.• Add two cans of diced tomatoes with chilies• One large can of cream of mushroom soup• One box of beef broth• I also used the leftover broth from a pot roast if needed; you can substitute another box and half of either beef or veggie broth.• You need one small cabbage sliced into 1-inch slices and then chopped.• Spices include Cumman, celery salt, and mustered to taste.Cook on high until beans are tender. 3 to 4 hours, and then turn down to low until ready to eat.This recipe made a whole pot of soup.When serving the soup, a touch of sour cream and shredded cheese is a great compliment. Then serve with some sourer dough bread on the side to sop up the last bits of soup left in the bowl.The soup turned out great, and cooking with the pot from the stove to the cooker was a pleasure. Clean-up could not have been easier unless there was just no cleanup.I have found my new favorite kitchen appliance. I highly recommend the purchase.

This is the best! I wish I would have purchased it years ago. I mean, it is large, as in tall, but making soup is so much easier in this versus a regular crockpot. Easy to clean too. Lighter in weight than a crockpot. The side handles fold up when needed to transport and down when cooking. It cooks evenly and I love that the inside nonstick pot can go on the stove and be cleaned in the dishwasher. I just love this machine. I use it weekly and have had no issues. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Trabaja muy bien, la cocción es como la necesito, le cabe mucho, es muy fácil de usar y de limpiar.

The media could not be loaded.  Arrived just in time for Game Day. This is a great slow cooker. Love the size and stock pot shape. Fits the 96-oz bag of meatballs plus four cans of pineapple chunks and like 93-ozs teriyaki sauce with room to spare!!
