I'm looking for a programmable slow cooker w/ digital read-out and a
temperature probe. Looks like Hamilton Beach has jes the thing:

<http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-33958-Forget-Programmable/dp/B00F0RBDJ0>

Yes, I know it's $30 cheaper directly from HB. Probably Walmart, too.
Gotta wonder what HB is charging for shipping. Anyway, what I want to
know, is, will the probe still work when immersed in a stew-like dish
instead of a chunk of meat.

Yes, you can set the probe for the temp you want. I have this one, and I
love it.

That's very similar to mine. Hamilton Beach "Stay and Go". It is
programmable and has a probe but it's a few years old, so they must have
changed the name. I love it.

Good enough for me! Now, I need to contact HB, directly, and find out
if I can get this model for the $44 they quote on their website.
Thnx, TJ, Cheri.

Yikes!

The price directly from HB is about $65, w/ shipping and taxes.
Walmart sells the 6 qt model fer only $50 (w/o about $4 in taxes).
Amazon wants $75, but no taxes and free shipping, to be delivered to
my doorstep in 2 days. I've got a week to decide. A toughie.

Whichever you choose, I'm sure you'll be very happy with a HB crock pot.

I threw out the Rival Crock Pot and got a Hamilton Beach. The HB has
served me well

My first GE microwave oven (some 40 years ago) came with a temperature
probe, worked fantastically well for pot roasts/stews. This probe
works with regular ovens too. I think it works much better than a
crock pot, faster too.

Use some duct tape so it does not sink.

I looked at one in WW. They appear to have a little plastic gasket in
the lid, which I assume holds the probe shaft in place. Yes? No?

Yes, it can't fall through.
