This 6 Quart pot is for a large family. A crock pot must be filled at least half way because the heating element runs half way up around the side wall and not the bottom. This produces the best cooking of a crock pot. The lid has a rubber gasket that keeps the heat in and starts the simmer cooking process faster. The lid clamps are for transport and not cooking. I use mine for chili and it works great but produces a lot of leftovers. If you don't have a large family I suggest a smaller pot.
I also own a Hamilton Beach 5 Quart Crock Pot and it doesn't compare by a mile to this Crock Pot. This one is so much better constructed than the Hamilton Beach, it has rubber non skid pads, uses actual nuts and bolts assembly, larger carry handles, and the crock pot fits tighter in the base. If you plan on making large meals this is the right pick.
Cook it, lock it and go. The Crock-Pot Cook & Carry Slow Cooker is designed for portability by helping to prevent spills during transport. A secure locking lid and rubber gasket create a seal to keeps food in, even over bumps and turns in the road. You arrive relaxed, without worry or mess. The Crock-Pot Cook & Carry Slow Cooker is convenient for potlucks, family gatherings, tailgating, parties and more just about anytime you need to transport food prepared at home. Features manual dial with HIGH and LOW cook settings and WARM setting to keep food at ideal temperature. Removable stoneware conveniently doubles as a serving dish. Dishwasher-safe stoneware and glass lid make clean up quick and easy. 6 quart capacity.
