THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Hamilton Beach 33136T is a compact 3-qt manual cooker with Low, High, and Keep Warm settings. Its removable stoneware and glass lid are dishwasher-safe, and Hamilton Beach says the stoneware may also be used in an oven or microwave. The model is a useful option when a small cooker with multi-purpose removable cookware is more important than a timer. The historical Amazon ASIN did not verify a current exact listing, so this page uses a tagged search for 33136T.

Consider it for

Buyers who want a compact manual cooker and value the ability to use its removable stoneware in an oven or microwave as directed..

Look elsewhere if

It is not for large batches or anyone who needs an established countdown timer or automatic Warm transition.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • Hamilton Beach identifies exact model 33136T as a 3-qt cooker with manual Low, High, and Keep Warm settings.
  • The maker lists the removable stoneware as dishwasher-, oven-, and microwave-safe.
  • The glass lid is also listed dishwasher-safe, and the search link uses the complete model code.

What to weigh up

  • The 3-qt vessel is smaller than common family-size 5- to 7-qt models.
  • No programmable time setting or automatic end-of-cycle Warm behavior is documented.
  • The historical B005GZ2MTG page failed, so no direct Amazon ASIN is used.

What the features mean for you

A small vessel with an exact model page

Hamilton Beach's current product page names model 33136T and a 3-qt slow cooker. The frozen title calls the shape oval, but the official page is the stronger source for the exact model, capacity, and controls; the article does not turn the title-only shape clue into a hard matching tag. Three quarts is a compact capacity, so consider the actual recipe size and headroom before choosing it. The sources do not supply an exact serving count or dimensions. If counter footprint is important, locate the item manual or measure the unit rather than assuming that all 3-qt cookers have the same outline.

Three manual heat settings, without a timed program

The exact maker page lists Low, High, and Keep Warm settings. These let the cook select a heat level and a separate Warm position, but the saved product evidence does not describe a digital countdown or an automatic handoff when a selected cook time expires. Manual Warm is not the same as automatic Warm. For a routine that needs a timed transition, compare a product whose exact guide documents that feature. The 33136T's control story is simpler: choose a setting and manage the cooking period yourself. No specific cooking time or finished-food temperature is inferred from the modes.

Stoneware can move beyond the slow-cooker base

Hamilton Beach states that the removable stoneware is safe for dishwasher, oven, and microwave use. Those permissions apply to the stoneware as described by the maker, not to the powered heater, glass lid, or whole appliance. The glass lid is listed as dishwasher-safe. This is a useful distinction for serving or reheating in the same vessel, but follow the exact instructions supplied with the cooker for temperature limits and handling. No stovetop permission is established. The ability to use the stoneware in an oven or microwave is a documented differentiator; it should not be generalized to every removable ceramic or stoneware crock.

A modest format favors smaller meals

The 3-qt vessel gives this model a compact footprint in the category, which may suit a small household or a recipe that would leave a much larger pot mostly empty. Capacity alone does not prove serving size, so compare it with the ingredients and method for your usual dishes. For larger batch cooking, a four-quart or family-size model provides more room. The 33136T also lacks a documented timed cycle, so its size advantage does not remove the need to manage the cooking schedule. Its strongest sourced distinction is the combination of manual settings and oven/microwave-safe removable stoneware.

Shop by exact code because the old ASIN failed

The historical Amazon ASIN B005GZ2MTG was not readable, so the packet cannot connect it to a current exact offer. The destination searches for Hamilton Beach 33136T and 3 qt. Check that code and confirm the stoneware and glass lid are included. The model page supports the feature description but does not establish current stock, price, finish, electrical values, or exterior dimensions. No seller-specific bundle is assumed. This article keeps the exact product identity while leaving the old Amazon mapping unresolved, which is why it uses a clearly labeled model search rather than the failed ASIN.

What else to compare

Hamilton Beach 33249 is a 4-qt portable model with a clip-tight lid and direct exact ASIN, while the 33136T has better documented oven and microwave use for its stoneware.
