Looking for Slow Cooker recs
I'm wanting to replace my vintage Crock Pot (looks similar to this). I don't care about any bells and whistles. What do you like about your slow cooker and what do wish was different?

I've had this one forever and it still works great (hope I didn't jinx it). My adult sons bought the same one and they like it too. https://hamiltonbeach.com/stay-or-go...w-cooker-33262
ETA - what I don't like is that it's hard to clean the crock part - it always seems like some weird film is there unless you do something special with it (DH does this and I don't know what he does). Also, the rubber lining takes on a weird odor and there's no on/off light. What I like about it is that it holds a lot and has lasted so long. Erica |

i also have that "film" that you referred to. i recently decided to try those slow cooker liners made by Reynolds company. have yet to try it, but that "film" is probably here to stay. it's not a stain or anything - i think the heat must have caused the change. it feels "rough" instead of "smooth" in the bottom where that "film" is. a few times, i rubbed a little cooking oil to get it to be "shiny" again. maybe your DH uses Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to remove it? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hamilto...?skuId=9731244

I have a Hamilton Beach 3 in 1 slow cooker. It came with three different crocks (2, 4 & 6 quart) that you can switch out in the stainless steel base depending on what size you want to use that day. The crocks stack inside of each other for storage. No bells and whistles, just high, warm and low settings. I like being able to choose what size to use. I also like that the handles are firmly attached. I previously had a crockpot with plastic handles and one snapped off when I tried to pick it up while it was full.
