Re: Recommend me a Slow Cooker, please?

How do the ones with the 'lock down travel lid' work as a regular slow-
cooker in non-travel mode? Any insight on how long the rubber gasket
will last, or if it falls off if it'll work as a regular cooker w/o
it? I don't know that I really need the travel feature, but i think
that is all Target tends to carry. I'm not opposed to ordering online
(amazon, etc) but if i can avoid it i will.

I have one of the lock down lid Hamilton Beach units. The gasket is fine and I have the unit about a year. The gasket keeps the liquid in the cooker from evaporating and it also seems to keep the odors out of the house better. You don't lock it down when you are cooking.

Mine has the program and the probe. I think I've seen it for about $40.
