Customer Review: How did I ever live without it before?
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product. I really do. I never thought I'd ever say that about an appliance.
I enjoy cooking but work hard all week. By the time Thursday rolls around, the last thing I want to do is cook. Hence my family was ordering takeout every week on Thursday nights. This is money, calories, salt, fat and cholesterol. Not a good situation at all.
Enter the crock pot. Instead of ordering in on Thursday nights, I use the crock, mainly to make beans and rice but sometimes to make chicken (I'm still working on perfecting my method for making chicken in it, but the beans are fabulous). The result is a healthy low-salt, low-cholesterol meal that's very high in fiber. The cost of the ingredients is perhaps $5 - $10 -- a welcome contrast to the $60/week that was flying out the door for the food that we used to order in.
The only downsides are (1) I wish it had come with a meat rack (I had to order it separately, but they're cheap, less than $20 including shipping. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't seem to sell them and you need to order it directly from Rival) and
(2) I wish it had more adjustable options. While the simplicity is welcome (so many consumer electronics are anything but simple), I would like to be able to, say, cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 8, neither of which can be done with this product (you can, though, cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8, among other options).
But these are fairly small quibbles. To me, the crock pot represents more healthful eating, about $50 after taxes extra in my pocket every week, and, well, freedom. You can't say that about a toaster.
Description of Crock-Pot 38501-W 5-Quart Round Smart-Pot Slow Cooker, White
Rival's Smart-Pot 5-quart white oval crock-potThe original slow cooker, the Crock-Pot was first introduced by Rival in the 1970s and has proved to be much more than a fad. This convenient appliance helps you prepare delicious family-style meals while you?re working, running errands, hiking, or just relaxing around the house.
The 5-quart, round Crock-Pot is large enough to cook four to six chicken breasts with vegetables or enough chili or soup for four to five people. The easy-to-use programmable timer turns on and off with the push of a button and lets you choose among time settings of 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours. When cooking time is complete, the Crock-Pot automatically shifts into warming mode, which keeps food at the right eating temperature but doesn?t overcook it.
The exterior of this Crock-Pot is white plastic that wipes down easily and matches the décor of most kitchens. Plastic handles provide a secure and comfortable grip for transporting the cooker. The Crock-Pot?s internal liner is made of durable stoneware that is attractive enough to go from cooker to tabletop to serve your meal. The liner also has a stick-resistant coating and is dishwasher-safe to make clean-up easy. The glass lid lets you peek at your food while it cooks and is also dishwasher safe. Rival offers a limited 1-year warranty on this stoneware slow cooker. --Cristina Vaamonde
