Best Value Slow Cooker
This Hamilton Beach 33966 slow cooker review is included in the list because I considered this model before settling on the Kitchenaid model for my personal family use. It was a firm contender, in my opinion, because among slow cooker models, it offers the best value at a very affordable price.
Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker Review
Compared to the 7-quart capacity of the KitchenAid, this 6-quart Hamilton Beach slow cooker is not too bad at all at half the price. It doesn’t skimp on features either, because it has a glass lid, digital timer and a keep warm mode, which helps keep your food warm after you’ve cooked it. I like that it is oval, and can accommodate chicken if I want to cook a full bird.
It is very solidly built and has removable stoneware. I like that it is very programmable, with a manual mode where you can specify exactly how you want your food to be cooked. This helps you fine tune recipes for optimum flavor and taste.
However, I did have my reasons for choosing the Kitchenaid over this model. I tested the handles and found them flimsy and not sturdy enough to my liking. And that was without liquid in the pot! I put safety first, and for this reason, didn’t buy this model as I have children around in the kitchen. But of course, that’s just me and my high standards.
Other people are quite satisfied with it and can overlook its flimsy handles because of its very programmable nature. If you’re looking for a large slow cooker that will do a great job with your food, this is the model to buy at only half the price of a Kitchenaid slow cooker.
