There are a several good slow cookers on the market, but not very many that pack all of the features found in the Hamilton Beach model 33967 Set ‘n Forget 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker.

Nothing beats the tenderness and flavor of a meal prepared in a slow cooker. Beef roast and potatoes melts in your mouth. Chicken falls from the bones and is easily eaten with a fork. You can even prepare mouth-watering barbecued pork in a slow cooker.

There are thousands of delicious slow cooker recipes available on the web. If you like to select recipes from cook books, two of the top selling slow cooker cook books are Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook by Beth Hensperger and The Italian Slow Cooker by Michele Scicolone.

The Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker is a full featured kitchen gadget that has three cooking options. There is a programmable mode, a manual mode and a mode that uses a temperature probe

The programmable mode cooks food at a specified temperature for a specified amount of time, then automatically shifts to keep-warm so the food doesn’t become overcooked.

The manual mode works like a standard slow cooker and allows for selecting a high or low heat setting. This is good for heating up leftovers.

The probe mode is good for cooking large cuts of meat or when a food must reach a certain temperature before it is considered to be “cooked.” A thermometer probe is included in order to take the guesswork out of slow cooking these types of meals.

The slow cooker has a removable dishwasher-safe stoneware insert and a tempered-glass lid. Both are easy to wash either by hand or in a dishwasher. The base is stainless steel for easy clean-up.

This is a nice addition to your own kitchen, or as a gift for a student or someone on-the-go who doesn’t always have time to prepare a home cooked meal manually. With a slow cooker, you can simply load it up in the morning before you go to work and enjoy a great meal when you return.
