![]() Honestly, the longer it cooks, the better it gets. Set slow cooker to low for at least another hour or until you just can't stand it any longer. Add the chili powder and cumin, if you haven't done so aready.Ĭook on high for 3-4 hours or until the chili has been bubbling for at least an hour. Brown the ground beef and add to the slow cooker. Chop the pepper and onion in the food processor and saute with jarlic and olive oil in a skillet until the onions are translucent, then add to the slow cooker. Empty the cans into the slow cooker, juice and all and turn it on high. Since it's not possible to let you sample the chili I made, I'll do the next best thing and give you the recipe and let you make some yourself and try it: When I went back to the kitchen to put my dish in the sink, it was noticeably warmer as I walked past the crock pot. That said, I was able to verify that the Auto Shift function works as it should because it was very warm standing next to the pot an hour after I first turned it on to the Auto Shift setting but it was less warm when I dished up my bowl of chili. I've turned the pot from Auto Shift to High and will let it roll for a couple more hours before I put it into containers. So I had some of the chili a little while ago and it was good but it needed to cook a bit longer. The link below is a period TV spot for this model. It's been cooking for almost three hours and I usually let it go for four, so I may go ahead and eat some because I'm getting hungry but let it cook a little longer before I put the rest in containers. The proof will be when I serve some up in a little while. It's definitely got the house smelling good. I'm giving it a test run right now with a batch of chili. Slow cookers at Goodwill usually start at about twice that. I have no idea why it was priced so cheap. What initially attracted me to this appliance were the graphics, which are just so period cool, but then the $5.00 price tag sealed the deal, especially when I got ten percent off with my school ID. Pretty nifty, especially for that period. It has the usual two power settings-high and low-plus a third setting called Auto Shift, which automatically switches the setting from high to low after a couple of hours. Made in about 1976, the thing looks like it's hardly been used. So I walked through Goodwill yesterday and found a vintage appliance I simply couldn't pass up-a Hamilton Beach Crock Watcher six-quart slow cooker with 'Auto Shift' technology. ![]()
