would be nice if it was non stick but sadly it is not. it is not as straight forward to use as other h. b. crockpots. the Temperature Probe is a great addition. that being said it is a great slow cooker but a little on the pricey side.

This is a top rated crockpot with a built in meat thermometer that stops cooking when the meat reaches the pre-set temperature. My pork roast was juicy and tender after using this crockpot

Great overall

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not used a slow cooker in quite awhile and this unit really made me wonder why not? I first cooked a whole chicken and veggies, low and slow. The house was filled with the most yummy aroma all day. It was great, one pot, easy clean up. Next were ribs. They were fantastic. Fall off the bone. Onions as the bottom layer, ribs upright, slow cook. Perfect. Last I tried Sou vie and it really held a near perfect temperature, for hours. No need for a separate cooker. I just love this unit. Easy to program, accurate, fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This slow cooker is amazing not only does it have time settings so you do not overcook. It also has additional features like the meat thermometer and a super good seal lid. It is the best one I have owned.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this to review. I was very impressed with this new probe system, it worked really nice. It didn't overcook it and then went to warm when it was done. I also tried just the slow cooker feature and this also worked great. This is a nice addition to my appliances.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this slowcooker because my old one died. I love that this has the temperature tracking on it so I don't have to keep opening the lid and letting the heat out. This is very easy to wash. The crock and lid are Dishwasher-safe. I like that the lid can be locked so if you are taking food somewhere for the holidays you can just go with this and not have a mess in your car. This is the best slowcooker I have ever had.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this crockpot just recently. I do like the ease of use and the more options that I get from my other crockpot. I do like the better control over the timer to set when cooking, so much better than my other one. I also enjoy having the locking lid for carrying if you are helping out with a potluck meal. I would definitely recommend this product. I did have a small hot spot towards the back that burned my food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hamilton Beach Portable 6-Quart Digital Programmable Slow Cooker With Advanced Temp Tracker Probe, Stainless (33867) Over past week, used advanced temp tracker slow cooker. A set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker that surpasses standard slow cookers and rivals more expensive ones. Read the accompanying manual for suggested temperatures and times for foods to avoid over- or under-cooking. PROs On upper-left front stainless steel exterior are the words, "Hot Surface" to alert user that exterior becomes quite hot during cooking, due to interior heating elements. 6-QT capacity holds large poultry (up to 6 LBs) or roast (up to 4 LBs). Tight-fitting lid has a slim rubber gasket that seals lid securely while cooking. Tiny vents on lid's top allow steam to escape, as food cooks. Three holes in lid to insert temp probe in meat for best location. Lid lock features two clamps to hold lid in place for easy transport. Do not use clamps while cooking, however. Easy carrying handle on lid. Heavy and sturdy, glazed black ceramic interior pot is easy to clean and is dishwasher-safe. Electrical cord, ~3 ft long, wraps and stores on bottom to eliminate safety hazard of a long, dangling cord. May likely be a "con" for those whose walls are not equipped with electrical outlets along countertop. Digital display provides current internal temp and target temp when using manual probe. Digital display is easy to operate. Digital cook functions -- Low (slow simmer), Medium (warm enough for serving food hot), High (steady simmer) may be used with or without manual temperature probe. Three Temp modes (Temp, Keep Warm, and Hold Temp). Temp mode uses integrated manual temp probe to cook food at a selected temperature. Minimizes chances of overcooking and ensures food safety when cooking beef, pork or poultry. Automatically switches cooker to "keep warm" setting up to 24 hours once cooking temp is reached, but 8 hours is typical to avoid drying out food as well as food safety. Used Hold Temp function to make homemade yogurt, fondue, cultured buttermilk, and even to bulk-proof bread dough. Poached eggs and delicate sauces are also great on Hold Temp. Hold Temp doubles as a sous vide function, which is fantastic and manual provides guidelines on correct water temp/time for different foods. Love how it braises meats. CONs Digital display readout is a bit difficult to read in ambient light. Display panel is plastic on front of unit. Unsure how long it may hold up, since unit's exterior becomes quite hot. Temp probe is not long, so works well with large cuts of meat.

This Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker received a one-star rating due to the fact that it only lasted one month, and 3 uses. The temperature only cooks on low. The sides are so flimsy that it feels like they will dent just by picking them up. You can actually feel it crackle. I do like how the cover locks in place.
