 Crockpots are great for college students! October 2, 2008
I purchased this for my granddaughter who is a sophomore at college. She is enjoying it immensely, experimenting with recipes and is the envy of her dormitory. She has "dinner parties" for her friends. The pot works well, cooks away while she sleeps or is in class. It is the Rival Crockpot.
Great Crock Pot - Great Size September 30, 2008
I was afraid this crock pot might be too small, but it's perfect. It could easily serve 2,3 or even 4 people. Perfect for soups, stews, overnite oatmeal or hot dips. The crock is removable and it has low and high settings.
 Good Product September 7, 2008
excellent product. great for one or two person household. only complaints are outside gets very hot and could burn someone if accidently brushed up against it. i keep it away from the wall and anything plastic. i don't know if other brands don't have this problem. i would also like to non stick interior to the crock to make cleaning up easier. you have to remember to spray the inside before using. also remember to put root vegetables such as carrots, onions, potatoes in first then meat then sauce ingredients, since the vegetables take longer to cook. some meats such as chicken are better off cooked at high for 2-1/2 to 3 hours, since they can get dry even with the sauce. over all though i really like this product but i would have bought an oval shaped one, since food fits better in it. i'd like to see the following features, timer, keep warm button, oval shape, heat proof outside, non stick interior, on a small sized unit. i don't think any company is making the smaller size with these features. until they do, this is a very good product.
spills over August 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Over the last couple of years I have gone slow-cooker crazy. I love the convenience and great tasting food that comes out of these things BUT cannot recommend this model. It runs way too hot and the ceramic crock fits in way too tightly. No matter what I try, condensed steam on the lid spills out over the rim and runs down in between, even on "low" setting. This causes the crock to stick to the pot. What a pain. Keep looking: You won't be sorry to get a slow cooker, just maybe not this one.
best little slow cooker May 23, 2008
Rival has no rivals when it comes to small slow cookers. I am perfectly satisfied with this item. The instruction book includes recipes and a guide to adapting other recipes to the slow cooker.
