Okay, now that we have had a little field trip to the kitchen, did you grab yourself a snack while you were there? Maybe some popcorn from your\u00a0Hamilton Beach Hot Oil Popcorn Popper<\/a>, a smoothie with the\u00a0Hamilton Beach Personal Blender<\/a>, or did you go all out and make yourself a delicious\u00a0Belgian waffle with your\u00a0The Hamilton Beach Flip Belgian Waffle Maker<\/a>? If you made yourself a waffle, I hope you also made a yummy cup of coffee with your Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker<\/a>, too. Whatever snack you might have been craving Hamilton Beach has the tool to help you make it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Hamilton Beach name actually has a really interesting story behind it — You might think that\u00a0Hamilton Beach is named after either the founder of the company, or maybe their favorite vacation spot, right? Well, you would be wrong on both counts!\u00a0Hamilton Beach was actually founded by\u00a0inventor Frederick J. Osius in Racine, Wisconsin\u00a0in April 1910. The Hamilton Beach Manufacturing Company took its name from two men Osius hired, Louis Hamilton and Chester Beach.\u00a0Osius did not care for his own name, so he paid Hamilton and Beach $1000 each for the right to use their names instead. Isn’t that an interesting little tidbit of information on one of our favorite small appliance companies?<\/p>\n Up until now we have only talked about the kitchen gadgets that\u00a0Hamilton Beach makes, but they actually make a variety of other products for the home that you might be familiar with as well – a full-size garment steamer<\/a>, a True Air Odor Eliminator,\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0irons<\/a>, and many more<\/a>.<\/p>\n Personally, my favorite Hamilton Beach product is the\u00a0Hamilton Beach Programmable 5-Quart Slow Cooker<\/a>. Now that we are in spring headed towards summer I won’t use it as much, but in the fall and winter months my family lives off of soups and stews that I make with the\u00a0Programmable 5-Quart Slow Cooker<\/a>. It’s such an easy task to chop up some meat and veggies and throw them into the slow cooker in the morning and have a delicious soup or stew ready at dinnertime.<\/p>\n I don’t usually make huge meals, but this slow cooker\u00a0is the ideal size for a 5-lb chicken or 3-lb roast. You can choose from anywhere between\u00a02 to 10 hours of cooking time. Once your desired cook time is complete, the slow cooker will automatically switch itself to the warming setting., which is really handy if you end up working late that night! The Hamilton Beach Programmable 5-Quart Slow Cooker stoneware vessel and lid are dishwasher safe, which makes clean-up extra easy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I hope you and your family enjoy Hamilton Beach products as much as my family does.
