 Too hot November 18, 2006
The Next Opinion
Rival had a great idea with this one (the programmable feature), but like many people have mentioned, it cooks way too hot for anyone who is gone for several hours. 8 hours on low = burned, nasty food.
I hate mine. Do they even test these products before they market them?
I have had several Rival pots. They all realistically have two settings: burned and off.
Flaws in this cooker September 28, 2006

I bought this crock pot about 3 years ago. It was fine for about the first year, or about 12 times used. Then the handles on the side started cracking and before I knew it one completely broke off in my hand. I actually ended up dropping the thing on my foot! Anyway, I wrote the company to let them know and to request repairs or a replacement. I was told that I could ship it and pay for repairs. I didn't think this was very good of them, so I decided to trash the unit. I agree with other customers in that it seems to cook at a higher temp. than needed. The low setting is really a medium and the high is SCORCHING high! Overall it's not a good unit. The built-in timer is great although there really is not a "warm" button which would have been helpful for warming and not cooking. The warm setting only comes on after its elapsed time is us. I would not recommend this item.
Temperatures either too hot or too cold July 20, 2006

I previously had a slow cooker that allowed me to adjust my settings in a range of 1-5 (wish I could find another one!). This cooker is too hot on high and too cold on low for what I like to cook. Also I agree with the person who mentioned the staining. The material used in the bowl seems to stain more than others I have had.
I'm looking to replace it and my favorite thrift shop will get it.
 THIS CROCK ROCKS! May 17, 2005

I just received this crock as a birthday gift as I have never owned one before. I like the design and the display/control panel, very easy to use. The first meal I cooked was a whole 5lb chicken. I filled it to the top with with all my ingredience, set the crock to LOW for 10 hours and walked away. I came back about 9 1/2 hours later and the chicken and most of the potatoes were submerged in the natual jucies, it was an awesome site. I grabbed a fork to check the chicken and when I stuck it in..... the whole chicken just fell apart. Right off the bone and all, it was great, so tender and moist. I used a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes, green beans, chicken meat to a serving dish and that was it!!! I took some of the juice to use as a herbal base for more intense flavoring if needed. At the bottom of the crock all I could see was a pile of bare chicken bones, cleanup was a breeze!!! Like I said, THIS CROCK ROCKS!!
 Is everyone crazy? this thing is great! April 15, 2005

The first time I used it worked flawlessly with a 5lb chuck roast cooked 10 hrs nothing burnt it was perfect! now it did overflow a bit but i added a bit too much water which you pretty much dont have to add the meat cooks in its own juices. Also people complained of smoke and smell if you read the book that came with it that is normal for the first couple of uses I highly recommend this one.
