Hamilton Beach 33463 6-Quart Oval Programmable Slow Cooker

The Hamilton Beach 6-Quart Oval Programmable Slow Cooker is a direct opposite to a microwave. This cooking method takes hours instead of minutes. When you have time, it really is worth it.

The idea is preparing food slowly from its basic state brings out more of the natural flavors and textures that were in the foods. A slow cooked brisket or rack of ribs have very unique tastes that go way beyond what faster food deliver. Of course, slow foods take more time. Call it the old way, but if you are into flavorful stews, there's no beating this method. This Hamilton Beach product is affordable and safe.

Slow food is about more than food; it is about a lifestyle that connects our food consumption to the wider social, ethical, lifestyle, political, environmental and spiritual elements around us. Slow food is about eschewing haste and recognizing that over-reliance on fast food damages our health, social fabric and cultural food traditions. Slow cooking brings out nearly unimaginable flavors in meats and vegetables. Vegetarians appreciate the bouquet of flavors as all the phyto properties blend into a delicious stew or soup.
