4.8

2 sources1 derived$104.9as of Jul 31

Value is the draw with the Hamilton Beach Temp Tracker 6-Quart Slow Cooker: an integrated temperature probe keeps food from overcooking and helps with food safety. TechGearLab rated its cooking performance highly, reporting tender meats and well-cooked vegetables. The digital interface keeps controls straightforward and adds a countdown timer.
