Hamilton Beach 5 Quart Portable Slow Cooker

great product, great price. It is such a good idea for busy people who still need to feed a family and eat well. I bought one for myself a few months ago, loved it and now bought second one for my college student who is living in college housing where they have a kitchen but stove and oven are down the hall. It will be a good way for her to cook something in her own kitchen conveniently and still eat well on her busy schedule. And because it is electric and safe, it is allowed in the housing where as other applicances are not

I love the stay warm feature and the pot cooks well .. It arrived well packaged for shipping and on time .. for such an economical price, you really get your money's worth Only two drawbacks and one was my own misconception perhaps .. I was replacing my previous crock pot which had actual CLIPS built on each side to LOCK lid down .. Making transporting the pot to family or church meals completely safe from spills ... what you get with this is a heavy duty rubber cord band and while it DOES hold the lid in place .. It is not TIGHTLY and so no seal and spilling occurs EASILY The lid itself is diappointing .. Very thin and lightweight .. almost flimsy
