Do you have a favorite crockpot?

I’m on the hunt for a new 5 or 6 quart model.

The one I bought not even two years ago has a hairline fracture all the around the crock.

My Instant Pot also works as a crockpot so I got rid of my crockpot. And I love my Instant Pot.

I use both my slow cooker and instant pot at enough at the same time I don't think I could just use one. I use my Instant pot as my rice cooker.

I've been looking at those Beautiful brand slow cookers, but I'm torn. I've been through 2 different brands in 4 years.

I have not seen the Beautiful brand before. It looks quite beautiful.

Disappointing that you are going through them so quickly. Stuff is just not made to last these days.

I don't have a suggestion. I'm in the market for one, too, so I'll be following this thread. I checked out the Beautiful slow cookers on Amazon, and I love the one that's sage green. I popped it on my wish list!

I picked up this one last week and just used it yesterday for the first time. No complaints! I really hope it lasts. Agreed, things don't last like they used to.

All I have to add is that it has to have the removable crock!

I've got 2, a round one and an oval one, both 4 qt. I've had both of them for awhile but then I don't use a crock pot all the time. The round is a Hamilton Beach and the oval is Crockpot brand. It isn't as tall as the round one but meat for roast beef fits into it without getting squished. I can also put more eggs to hard boil in it than the round one since you don't stack the eggs for hard boiling.

I also have a 2 qt Rival that I have had for a long time. I would use it to heat up water or soup. In the last few years I used it to create steam for a stuffy nose.

I love this one, I wish it had the timer to switch it to warm though. The size is perfect.

I love the color too.

I have this one and like it alot.

I love the timer and that it goes to warm once the time is up. The only thing it doesn't have that I wish it did, is sound. I need to "hear" when something is done or else I am likely to forget it.

I have an old school Crockpot one with just a turn knob, no fancy digital or features but it has lasted for years and I put the crock part into the dishwasher to clean.

This is probably not what you were needing, but I added a casserole crockpot to my crockpot accessories. I love it to make Dump Cake desserts and also lasagna. I've had my original crockpot for over 40 years -- my husband gave it to me (with a little something inside) before we were married. (not a ring -- just something fun)

My slow cooker is a Crockpot brand. I've had a few different brands, but I always go back to Crockpot because they last longer. Mine is currently the One Touch. My only issue is it heats hot. But so does every crockpot I've had in the last 10-15 years sadly.
