Is the Hamilton Beach 6 Qt Slow Cooker programmable?

No. It is a manual cooker with low, high and keep-warm settings and a dial. You set the heat yourself and switch it to warm when the food is done.

Can you put the insert in the dishwasher?

Yes. The stoneware insert and the glass lid are dishwasher safe. The metal housing should be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

No. The glass lid sits on the rim without a lock or strap, so it is not suited to carrying a full pot in a car.

It holds about 6 quarts, enough for a 6 lb chicken, a large roast or chili for six to eight people. It is a good size for families with leftovers.

No. You have to turn the dial to warm yourself. Programmable rivals do this on a timer, which is the main feature this model lacks.

The stoneware is designed for the slow cooker base. Check the manual before using it in a conventional oven, since not all inserts are rated for it.
