Our verdict

For busy families who slow cook roasts and whole chickens, the probe mode is the feature that sets this apart from basic dial cookers, and the locking lid makes it travel-friendly. The trade-offs: it cannot sear, so browning still needs a pan, and Hamilton Beach's page does not list wattage, dimensions or whether the crock is dishwasher safe.

The risk with an all-day slow cooker is coming home to overcooked, stringy meat. Hamilton Beach's Set & Forget gives you three ways to avoid that: a thermometer probe that shows the meat's actual temperature and switches to Warm when it hits your target, a program mode that cooks on High or Low for a set time (up to 24 hours) and then holds it warm, or simple manual High, Low and Warm. The 6 qt oval crock fits a 6 lb chicken or a 4 lb roast, and a clip-tight gasket lid and full-grip handles make it easier to carry a full pot to a family gathering.

Why you’ll like it

  1. 01

    No more overcooked roasts: the probe watches the meat and switches to Warm at your target.

  2. 02

    Leave for the day with confidence: program High or Low for up to 24 hours, then it holds warm.

  3. 03

    Take it with you: the clip-tight gasket lid and full-grip handles reduce spills on the move.

  4. 04

    Keeps going through a brief power blip of 5 seconds or less without losing your settings.

Great for

  • Working families who slow cook while away
  • Cooks who make roasts and whole chickens
  • Anyone bringing dishes to gatherings

Maybe skip it if

  • You want to sear in the same pot — consider a multicooker with a sear function

Questions people ask

How does the probe mode work?

Insert the probe into the meat and set a target temperature; the display shows the actual temperature and the cooker switches to Warm when the target is reached.

Can I carry it to a gathering?

Yes, the clip-locked gasket lid seals tightly to reduce spills, and the full-grip handles help with carrying.
