Overview
The Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 33478 is a programmable 7 quart slow cooker that includes a smaller separate warming pot, called the party dipper, alongside the main crock for dips or a second dish. The Stay or Go name refers to a latching lid designed for transporting the cooker to gatherings.
The party dipper is the distinguishing feature versus a standard single crock slow cooker, giving you a second small vessel that sits in the main unit for warming dips or sauces while the large crock cooks the main dish.
- 7 quart main crock
- Removable party dipper warming pot
- Programmable Stay or Go latching lid
Who it's for
Good for anyone who hosts or transports slow cooked food regularly and wants a dedicated dip warmer built in rather than a separate small appliance. Less relevant for someone who only ever cooks one dish at a time and has no use for the second pot.
Pros and cons
- Runs hotter than some other slow cooker brands, may need shorter cook times
- At least one unit stopped working after about two months
