This slow cooker is large enough to easliy cook a 8 – 9 pound turkey breast. The controls are very straight-forward and easy to use. I compared a number of brands in this size and this is by-far the best value. Also, Home Depot stock notifications and shipping was a strong reason for me to consider more such purchases from this supplier. Very pleased overall.

I was replacing on that had gotten melted on the bottom. Now I have an extra crock insert. This is a very good product. It cooks great. I love the fact it is programmable. I don’t care for the ones that are only have a low and high setting.

This slow cooker is fantastic! I’ve used it many, many times since I received it. I go in to work early, so it really helps that I can start my cooker at night before bed and dinner is ready, warm, and not overcooked when I get home. Love it!!

Last night I fixed a low country boil for my family and a few of my neighbors. With the 8-quart capacity I had plenty to go around! Controls are very easy to understand and clean-up was simple. Just a little soap and water and no scrubbing!

Made some slow cooked ribs and them came out excellent! The only thing I noticed is that the lid fits pretty loosely. Maybe by design??

I made boneless beef ribs in gravy last night. It was so easy, plug it in add ingredients set the controls good to go. The ribs were cooked for 3 hours & came out very tender. I love how simple this was.

Nice ceramic crock held the heat. This is the largest cooker I have ever had. Great for a big pot of chili or cooking a pork butt for pulled pork. Easy to use and works very well. Definitely met my expectations!

I am thoroughly pleased with my Hamilton Beach 8 quart slow cooker! I have used it to prepare different types of food, from a robust pot roast with scads of vegetables, to a delicate, creamy rice pudding. The cooker performs beautifully. It cooks perfectly and uniformly in the shortest time specified in the recipes. It’s clear lid enables me to check the cooking food without allowing any heat to escape by lifting the lid. The “warm” feature is a great help, particularly since it keeps track of how much time it holds the food after it has cooked. I love the large size! I’ve doubled sized each recipe I’ve made and cut the time I have to cook anything in half. Finally, it is such a handsome design that I’m proud to display it. The crock is heavy and somewhat bulky to clean, but that is only due to it’s large capacity. I look forward to years of fun, easy cooking with my slow cooker. It’s truly a top quality product.

I have always loved slow cookers, and this is absolutely the best slow cooker I’ve ever used. The 8-quart capacity is great, to allow me to cook larger items, and the oval shape is so practical. It’s great that it automatically reverts to the warm setting after the cooking time is completed, so that the food stays hot. The digital model allows me to set the exact cooking time and temperature. You can’t go wrong with this slow cooker!

Have used several times and like it very much. Cooks a little hot so If a recipe says cook for 6 hours I will usually cook for 5-5.5 hours. Like the size and easy to clean.

The Hamilton Beach 8 Quart Programmable Countdown Slow Cooker is an attractive, state of the art kitchen appliance. The sleek black and stainless steel base sets firmly on the counter and does not slide. The large, oval black stoneware crock is easy to clean and doesn’t show stains. The warm, low, and high heat settings and cooking time are separate, and easy to change independently. I like that after the cooking time, it automatically switches to warm, and the count-down cooking display switches to counting up, indicating the length of time the slow cooker has been on warm.I went to the internet for recipes and decided on a 7- lb. turkey breast. It was beautifully cooked, well done and juicy, in less than four hours on high.The next day I tried a new recipe for black bean and pumpkin chili with turkey, since I had plenty ready to go! I was able to double the recipe in the very generous sized crock, and after four hours on low, the chili was ready–and so were we! It was a real hit! Since making applesauce was on the list with more than ample Michigan apples this year, I decided to try the slow cooker for that for the first time. I filled the crock with apple slices, added spices, and programmed it for two hours on high. After a quick stir, I switched to low for one hour and the applesauce was done. It was so easy, I’ll never cook it any other way again!I am very impressed with both the size and quality of this slow cooker, as well as the ease of use. Cleanup is a breeze, since the crock is removable and dishwasher safe, as is the glass lid. The instructions are concise and easy to understand, and I had no problem programming it for the first time. The only thing I would have liked is a basic chart with approximate times and temperatures for a few of the likely choices for a large, family sized cooker, such as the 8-lb. chicken or 6-lb. roast mentioned on the box.Liz 17

The features on this slow cooker are wonderful and so easy to use. I love the 8 qt. size. The timer is so convenient and automatically switches to warm after I have programmed my cooking temperature and time.It can be programmed with cooking and warming time up to 20 hours. My first attempt at using this slow cooker I made a combination of a 5 lb beef and 3 lb pork roast with vegetables. I filled about 2/3 full and still had plenty of room and no overcrowding. I used the low setting and it cooked everything perfectly. I wanted to try the high setting so I tried an almost 7 lb. whole chicken, it was done in 4 hours. We loved it. Clean up of the crock is a breeze and is dishwasher safe. This is a nice, sturdy slow cooker. It is very well made.My favorite feature has to be its size. It will be great to use for large family functions, parties and most especially holiday time. I am very happy with my Hamilton Beach 8 quart slow cooker.

I made refried beans & they came out perfect. This is a wonderful slow cooker!

Finally a Slow Cooker Large Enough to cook a big roast and plenty of veggies too! In the past when we cooked a roast and always ended up with lots of meat and not enough veggies,now you can cook plenty of both!

For years, I have been using a 6 quart slow cooker, which worked great, but always thought it was a bit too small for my family of 5 or at the Holidays (and I like to make sure I have leftovers to freeze or use for a few days). So, I finally decided to try an 8 quart and I love this size! I can now easily double a recipe and it all fits. Some other features I really like; 1. Very easy to clean because the outside chrome colored base wipes clean and the inside black container pulls out simply and has come clean in the dishwasher every time I have used it with no problems. 2. The red light of the digital clock is easy to read even a room away. 3. The clock counts down while cooking and counts up while on warm (I really appreciate this feature because I know how long ago it switched to ‘warm,’ especially due to one of the ‘minor inconveniences’ I list below). 3. There is a warm, low and high setting and switches to warm after the low/high timer has counted down. 4. Simple to set the timer/setting and use with the 30 minute increments on both low and high settings. The time blinks while setting and then stays solid red once you have it the way you want. 5. Cooks well and has not burned or undercooked any recipe I have made so far. I have made soups, desserts, and casseroles. 6. Buttons push easily without having to push hard. As I stated in my title, it is almost the perfect slow cooker, but there are 2 things I wished were different and I consider more of minor inconveniences rather than negatives; 1. I think the cord is too short, it would be better if a little longer. I can only use it at one of my kitchen outlets, because of this (other outlets would require a longer cord). I can and will use it, but multiple outlet choices would be nicer. 2. I am spoiled with my last slow cooker as it would beep three times when it finished the cooking countdown and then switched to the warm setting. This one does not ‘beep’ at all and I have to keep a closer eye on the timer when I know it is getting close to being down. Luckily, the warm setting does count up, so at least I know how long ago it switched. I must admit, I really l do miss the ‘beep,’ feature of my other one. Again, not a deal breaker, as I really like this slow cooker overall.
