Question: Does the glass lid have a metal edge?  I want to be able to reheat in the microwave, so no metal is important to me.
Document: I needed a large crockpot for our kitchen at work so I ordered this one. It does heat up fast, gets very hot, and its really big. However the lid has no rubber gasket around it, its just a thin glass lid with a thin metal edge, it slides around when carrying the crockpot but my biggest complaint is that it allows way too much evaporation. Rather than having the steam come out one hole in the lid like the smaller hamilton beach cooker I have it has steam seeping out the entire perimeter of the lid, i found I had to add water about twice as often for some things, my vegetable soup evaporated a good 2 inches while cooking.
I guess all of those items (except the indicator lamp) must be bought separately.6: I saw several listed "8 Qt Pots" where people were very disappointed that they were not 8 Qt at, all but barely made a 7 Qt at best. This unit IS an 8 Qt up to the top lid edge......and if you needed a large one, you will love it's size! Real life use? (NOTES: You never want fill any pot to the very top edge, it will obviously boil over and make a MESS!
This thing is huge, but that's what I wanted and it works well. I have a small slow cooker which is fine for cooking only one meal at a time for my family, but I want to be able to cook an extra amount (ex. chili and soups) that I can put in the freezer for a quick meal on those hectic days when I just don't feel like cooking supper. I like how the cord wraps up neatly around the lid/stand that attaches to the back of the pot.
A tiny warning label on the top right says it is a hot surface but like everything else about this device this vastly understates the matter. It is clear your purchase price goes towards a rather nice cooking pot, a glass lid, a very powerful heating element and almost nothing else. Not even an inner wall to separate the heating element from the outside surface so you will want to give it a wide berth when it is on. It is so lightweight that removing the dish while leaving the lid on the handy holder built into the side makes the unit fall over.It does cook, and it cooks well given only two possible settings of "low" and "high," with a "warm" setting that seems to be a slightly undersold "simmer" function.
We're a family of 6 and I use my slow cooker a couple times a week or more. This larger size is wonderful for cooking extra large batches of sauce, beans, etc. to freeze. A smaller cooker doesn't allow for leftovers with my crew! I didn't want the electronic control panel, as this is what went wrong with my last cooker. The straight forward dials are great by me. My only critique of this particular model is that the metal on the outside is rather flimsy and I predict it will end up dented easily.
This is what I found:1 - 6 quart level - Six quarts raised the water level to a point approx. 3/4 in. below the inside lid support ledge (where the bottom edge of the lid would rest during cooking). Pretty safe operation levels.Seven quarts - The seventh quart of cold water,  raised the water level to a point that was just below being even with the inner lid support edge (most of the edge radius can still be seen above the waterline). The water itself does not touch the lid when it's placed in its cooking position on the insert.
Even had this been a heavier all glass lid I think it would have worked better. This lid is paper thin and poorly fitting, no seal whatsoever. If you dont cook a lot of liquid based dishes and rapid evaporation isn't a concern for you then this should work pretty well.
Buyer be wear!! After having this for about 2 months the lid shattered, WHILE COOKING, leaving glass all over the counter, the floor and in the chicken stew.. So out went the food. Thank goodness I was home... After calling the company all they would do was send me &#34;another&#34; glass lid. I won't buy Hamilton Beach products anymore.
The glass top shattered for no apparent reason while I had $40 worth of very fine ingredients cooking away! The pot had been on low for about 9 hours, overnight. I wake in the morning and walk in the kitchen to see the lid shattered, broken glass all in my stew. What a mess. Poorly made is the only answer. I guess you get what you pay for sometimes.
In fact, there's approximately 1/4 of an inch of vertical distance between the water level and where the bottom aluminum edge of the lid would rest when in cooking position.Eight quarts - The eighth quart raises the water level to the very top edge of the insert. Attempting to place the lid in its cooking position causes the water level to overflow and displace approximately 1 to 2 ounces of water.So technically, the insert will just hold 8 quarts of cold water uncovered. However, given that the devices primary reason for being is cooking, it is not 8 quarts of cooking capacity since the unit has to be covered (with the lid) to do its job.
