Reddit mentions of Hamilton Beach 755263231981 (33182A) Slow Cooker, 8 Quart, Black

This is the one I have. Can't find any information anywhere about how hot the "keep warm" setting is and I don't own a thermometer.

Got this one a few months ago based on a post in this sub that it was on sale. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EZI26C8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_nDcUtb1CXZKYJ.

Paid just under $25. A little big even for 2 people, but seems to work well and couldn't beat the price.

We had a 4 qt, which was ok for just 2 people, but there were times when we brought meals to parties where we wished we had something bigger. Also great for making large batches to freeze.

no no 8 Quart , GO BIG or go home !

Consider a 7 or 8 quart - because: I often get brisket or pork shoulder (pork butt) from Costco. I have a 6 quart and trying to stuff a 6-7 pound piece of meat into the 6 quart is difficult. With a 7 or 8 quart it would be easier.

  The above crock pots are manual. I've had my manual crockpot for 10+years. I'm sure the programmatic's are nice and have some cool features. With manual I think less moving parts, less chance of breakage, easily fixed if it broke. The other benefit to the manual is if you get into the latest cooking fashion: 'sous-vide', you can use your manual crock pot for it, you can't use a programmatic.
  
   
  
  For sous-vide you would adapt your crock pot with something like this:

• As opposed to a dedicated sous-vide device ($199): http://www.amazon.com/Anova-Sous-Vide-Immersion-Circulator/dp/B00GT753W8/

And, yes, slow cooker is a synonym for crock pot.

I like the 8 quart slow cooker in Amazon. I think I'm getting that one for the price.

Cheap af
