Turn your frozen food into a delicious slow-cooked meal. No more worrying that you forgot to defrost the meat ahead of time. The Hamilton Beach programmable defrost slow cooker makes life easier by safely defrosting frozen meat and cooking it to perfection in one appliance. It has a customized temperature profile that knows how to defrost and cook to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) food safety guidelines without overcooking. It's easy to use, too. Simply add frozen meat and other ingredients to the slow cooker, press defrost and set your cooking temperature and time. When your food is ready, the slow cooker automatically switches to warm. The Hamilton Beach programmable defrost slow cooker also includes a temperature probe that lets you cook large cuts of meat to your desired temperature, then automatically switches to warm when food is ready. You can also cook the traditional way with this slow cooker's program and manual modes, which let you set the timer from 30 minutes to 24 hours on high, low, warm or select a temperature without setting a time. Includes 6 quart removable stoneware crock, glass lid and temperature probe.
