Hamilton Beach 33135 3-in-1 Slow Cooker with 2-, 4-, and 6-Quart Crocks, Stainless Steel Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just got the 3-in-1 a few days ago and have only used it once, but I'm so impressed! I almost got a single-crock six-quart slow cooker before I discovered this one, and I'm so pleased that I purchased this one instead.
Like others, I really appreciate the three crocks, the clever way they nest and that one lid fits all. The two- and four-quart crocks are easier to handle than the six, especially in the sink, so I expect to get a lot more use out of this than if I had gone with a single-crock six. Also, the two smaller crocks fit in my microwave, and the six would not -- very handy for heating the leftovers. I'm glad to have the six-quart crock as well as the other two, though.
The unit seems more sturdily constructed than some I saw in stores. I personally prefer the simple knob over the programmable touchpads. As at least one other reviewer mentioned, the high and low settings really do seem to work.
I wish you could use the lid in the microwave, but you can't, probably because it has a metal rim. A 10-1/4" dinner plate served as a nicely fitting substitute, but it was more difficult to remove from the steaming crock than it would have been using the crock's lid with its knob. This one complaint is a minor one and not important enough to downgrade to four stars in light of the unit's great assets.

Easily prepare soups, casseroles, pot roasts, curries, and more with this three-in-one slow cooker. The versatile appliance offers three different heat settings and three different size stoneware vessels. Choose from a 2-quart, 4-quart, or 6-quart crock--all of which fit inside the unit's attractive stainless-steel electric base. The included glass lid can be used with all three vessel sizes and functions to keep in heat, nutrients, and moisture for great tasting results. Providing added convenience, the crockery and lid clean up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher, and all three cooking vessels nest into the base for simple, compact storage. Ideal for entertaining or everyday use, the slow cooker measures approximately 15 by 9 by 15 inches and carries a one-year warranty.
