Customer Reviews
Happy with this purchase
Tried the same beef stew recipe under high heat and reduced cooking time; the meat came out tender but the sauce dried out. It's possible the high setting is too hot, but just as likely we should've compensated for the higher heat with a bit more water. I'm still happy with the purchase, but as it is I prefer the low heat/longer cooking time which is ideal for my situation anyway.
Slow cooker
I have used the rival crock pots for years. The older ones are hard to clean because the pot doesn't come out. I like this one because the pot comes out to wash. It cooks hotter than the other slow cookers I have used, so have had to adjust the time. I like meat cooked in it on high and have it on an appliance timer so food is done when I get home from work. I use this almost daily during the winter on work days. Don't use it as much during summer because we grill most days. I would buy this again. The only thing I wish were better is a slicker inside surface so it would clean better. I spray the inside with Pam before adding anything and this helps cleanup of the inside crock.
Beats Rival
Now I purchased a Proctor Silex crock pot and I can see the difference. The PS has a higher ridge around the edge that holds the lid. That prevents condensation and steam from spitting out over the edge. So with the Rivals there is a design flaw - a silly little millimeter (ok, maybe a few) makes all the difference. I even switched lids between the 2 brands and that is it! I am sticking with my new Proctor Silex now as it works great and no mess.
Cooks Too Hot, Everything Comes Out Brown
No matter what I cook in this slow cooker, it comes out brown, tough, and overcooked. I would NOT recommend this AT ALL. Rival makes a much better line of products, and I CAN recommend those. Avoid this one at all costs. It's not even worth the $26.00 I paid for it.
Purchased in 2003, and it's still going strong....
