Comparing Bella Slow Cooker Models

by 3 Comments

Slow cooker brands tend to produce a large range of different models, often only varying slightly from one another. This can make shopping incredibly confusing, especially as the differences between the individual models are not always obvious. For example, the number of models from Crock-Pot and Hamilton Beach alone is pretty overwhelming.

In contrast, Bella takes a simpler approach to slow cookers. The company doesn’t actually have all that many models and in most cases, the differences between them are pretty clear. However, you’ll find that there are a lot more options than normal in terms of visual appearance.

This means that many of the models come with multiple different choices for color. Those color differences don’t tend to affect performance. Nevertheless, they’re a great option if you’re trying to color coordinate your kitchen, or if you’re just looking for something a little unusual.

I’ve recently been fascinated with the various slow cooker models out there and the way that these vary When you first start shopping, the number of choices can often seem overwhelming, especially as the differences between them can be subtle and aren’t always easy to spot. So, how do you get the best deal and end up with a slow cooker that works well for your needs? To help with this process, we’ve been developing a range of lists, comparing the different models that are out there. In some cases, brands have a large range, including multiple different styles, sizes and ranges.

Perhaps the best, and the worst, thing about slow cookers is that there are simply so many different models out there. On one hand, this variety is great because it means that there is no shortage of options and, with enough shopping around, you can find something perfect for you.

But, on the other hand, the range of models can quickly get confusing and overwhelming. After all, many of the different slow cooker models seem pretty similar to one another. In some cases, models may even seem to be identical.

Crock-Pot is one of my favorite brands, partly because they simply have so many different models, including various sizes, styles and even colors. At the same time, the brand has a strong reputation and often produces models that are popular among customers.

In this case, we’re taking a look at the Cook and Carry range that Crock-Pot offers. The focus here is on slow cookers that are relatively portable and aren’t likely to spill if you took them in the car with you. The idea isn’t particularly unusual and some other brands have similar ranges, like Hamilton Beach’s Stay or Go slow cookers.

There are lots of options when it comes to slow cookers and no shortage of different brands and models. But, regardless of the brand you choose, you basically have the option of getting a manual or a programmable slow cooker. A manual one means that you will need to turn the slow cooker off or put it on keep warm mode yourself, once the required time has passed.

In contrast, a programmable slow cooker will allow you to choose how long you want the machine to run for. Then, once that time is up, the slow cooker switches over to keep warm mode automatically. This system is perfect for many situations, especially cases where you know the food will be done cooking before you get home.

Slow cookers offer a great way to save time with cooking while producing some truly amazing food. Yet, for the most part, they are also fairly simple tools, often just having settings for low and high, along with a keep warm option.

Despite this, there is no shortage of different slow cooker models out there and multiple different brands compete in the marketplace. In fact, even if you narrow your selection down to just one brand, you may still find yourself overwhelmed with choice. For that matter, some brands even have multiple ranges, where the various models seem fairly similar to each other.

The sheer number of different slow cooker brands and models on the market never ceases to amaze me. After all, a slow cooker seems like a fairly simple device, yet the various models offer their own twists to the concept.

Hamilton Beach offers two key ranges that do just that. One of these is the Stay and Go slow cookers. These models are specifically designed to be easy to transport and the design means that the lid can be locked down in some way. That option is great for parties and potlucks.

In contrast, the other main range is the Set ‘n Forget, which offers greater control over cooking through the use of a temperature probe. Models in the range come with a manual, an automatic and a temperature-based setting, letting you set up your cooking in advance and leaving the slow cooker to do the test.

Slow cookers are amazing tools for the kitchen, especially when it comes to saving time. Yet, many of us underestimate the food that we can cook in them. Sure, they are good options for soups and stews, along with the classic roast. But, that’s only scratching the surface. You can also use a slow cooker for so much more, including baking and desserts, along with a diverse range of dinner recipes to tempt even the pickiest eater.

Most of the time, you’d probably end up choosing a slow cooker that’s around 5 or 6 quarts. This is the perfect size for most families and fits well in the kitchen too. But sometimes, that won’t be enough.

Perhaps the most important thing about choosing a slow cooker is getting the sizing right. Sure, there is the variation in features to consider, along with different brands and prices. But, if you want quality food you need to get the sizing right first and foremost. The reason for this is that slow cookers work best when they’re partially full. Specifically, you want it to be somewhere between two-thirds and three-quarters full.

This allows for the best cooking and means that your outcomes will match the recipe that you have at hand. For many people, the simple answer is a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker, which tends to be the right size for feeding a family. But, if you live on your own or want a slow cooker for sides rather than main meals, sometimes smaller is better. Small slow cookers may not be as common but there is still a range of mini slow cookers out there, some of which are fairly tiny.
