Amazon.com Review

Slow cookers are usually thought of for chili, soup, or pot roast. But the 200-page bonus cookbook that comes with Rival's 4-quart Crock Pot stoneware slow cooker branches out, with recipes like Roast Chicken with Peas, Prosciutto and Cream, San Francisco Cioppino, and Lamb Korma. Not what you'd expect for dinner out of a slow cooker.

Crock Pots are classics, but this one looks like something straight out of a modern, professional kitchen. With a simple design in chrome with black handles and a removable black stoneware crock insert, this 4-quart pot will go with the look of most kitchens. Besides the cookbook, there's also a small catalog of accessories such as tailored vinyl covers, baking pans, meat racks, and thermal carrying cases for transporting food in the stoneware crock.

Clean-up is very easy; warm soapy water will do the trick. (The heating unit is not immersible; just use a soapy rag or cloth.) Do not use scratchy, abrasive cleaners on the chrome exterior. The dimensions of the slow cooker are 12 inches across by 10-1/2 inches high, including handles, feet and lid. Rival provides a limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal use conditions. --Garland Withers

4.0 out of 5 stars Crock pot -- updated version of the late 60's cooker, January 16, 2011

The subject says it all. It is an updated version of the late 60's Crock Pot. It is simplicity itself to use, but it doesn't quite fit the anodized aluminum "Bread and Cake Bake" insert which is all that remains from my original crock pot. I have an old domed glass lid from my old crock pot that I had the foresight not to discard when the old crock pot's line cord rotted off. With it, I can use the insert.

As far as the mechanics of shipping it here, it was delivered in the advertised time, as exactly was as advertised. I just wish they had said it doesn't fit the insert. Nevertheless, I'm pretty happy with it.

I bought this crockpot used so I didn't get the booklet, but there are now so many recipes online I'm not hurting for ideas of what to do with it ( [...]is a great site - you can get "slow cooker" recipes by entering it into the search field. They will also send you new recipes weekly if you wish.)

The main thing I love about this crockpot (besides it's really cute decorative design) is, the interior of the crockery is coated with something that virtually "melts" hardened and burned-on residue with a quick soak in soapy hot water. With the crockery in my old pot, you'd have to soak overnight and apply much 'elbow grease' to get it clean. The crock of this Rival is effortless in comparison. It advertises this easy-off feature, and they're NOT kidding!

I agree about the price. Unless you want a different shape or size, I see no reason to go any higher. And the shipping price around $11-12 is reasonably in-line with others that weigh the same but cost more. So...Read more

Hi, I bought 2 of these crockpots, one for me and one for my daughter for Christmas. They are so pretty. They cook great too. The price is awesome and the product is great. Thank You.I just checked and the price is even lower. A MUST HAVE! There is also a great cookbook to get with lots of pictures.."Three Books in One, Rival Crockpot Cookbook".The best crockpot cookbook ever. I have my husband pick a picture and I make it and they are delicious. GOD BLESS. Joan
