My Mom was very happy with this cooker. She say that she will be using is often.Customer Review: Satisfactory for price, but could be better...
Summary: 3 Stars
My crazy life caused me to turn to the convenience of a crockpot. Indeed, there's nothing better than coming home from a nutty, busy day to find dinner (which you threw together while you were making lunches at the beginning of the day) hot and bubbling, waiting for you to dish up and enjoy.
That said, when I needed to replace my old crock pot, I picked this one up at my local Target. I like the oval design; it fits better in my cabinet than my round one did. The price is great. However, I have to agree with several of the reviewers who feel the lid doesn't give a tight seal. Nearly every time I use it, I come home to the lid banging and bumping open as the meal is simmering, and juices/sauce spattered all over the counter and backsplash.
Oh, and one other thing would really make this a much better crockpot. An indicator light, for those of us who sometimes forget to plug the thing in. I did this once, after filling the pot, turning it to low, and leaving for the day without first plugging it in. I came home to cold raw meat and veggies (which of course I had to dump), and the pizza delivery boy.
Customer Review: Cooks hot - will boil on LOW setting
Summary: 3 Stars
Works well enough, but have to watch it until you're familiar with how it is going to cook. The lid rests on the crock, but does not seat as well as my Mom's 30 year old pot. Also, the pot will boil on the Low heat setting. I tried a recipe that called for overnight on the Low setting, and it came out a gummy burnt mess. I will not be able to use this pot the way my mom used hers - I don't trust it not to burn if I am not home to watch it. What is not evident from the picture is that the crock itself angles in toward the bottom, rather than having straight sides. Maybe that is part of the issue?
As far as delivery goes, the pot arrived in good condition within the expected delivery time. No complaints about that.
Customer Review: Rival Crockpot 3 1/2 qt.
Summary: 3 Stars
One of the reviews described this crockpot as cool to the touch. Even on low there is a spot that is hot. On high the entire outside is too hot to keep a hand on it. A bad feature that makes me uncomfortable leaving it untended all day.Aside from that (which is a major consideration) I love the way it cooks, the design is attractive, and the size is very convenient.
Also, I have not been able to find out what is meant by the "auto-protect safety system"
