Rival SCRBC909-BS Trio 3-Quart Slow Cooker Crock Pot Crock Buffet Server, Black/Stainless

Crock Pots worked great. My wife loves the 3 quart capacity versus the 2.5 quart that most trio buffet servers are. Have two of them. Ordered Rival but the name brand is Crock Pot on the buffet servers. Did not realize the two companies are the same. Only minor thing is that the spoons were all the same. Would be nice if one or two of them were slotted so the juice would drain through. The really disappointing thing is the Crock Pot and Rival Company do not sale any slotted spoons.

Well I bought this three pot buffet style slow cooker for my 82 year old mother for mother's day. It is beautiful and was exactly what she wanted with the ability to cook three separate dishes at the same time.... The problem is that none of us considered that the darn thing weighs a TON with three crockpots in one unit! My poor dad had to walk the box through the doorway because he couldn't pick it up and carry it into the house when it was delivered. My mother also forgot to consider the 3X storage requirement for a three pot unit too. So I'm sad to say we will not be keeping it even though this is a very nice piece of buffet ware. Too bad they didn't give us the weight of the unit in the technical details. We could have been spared the headache of trying to figure out what to do with it. The seller won't accept returns of factory sealed packaging that has been opened unless the item is defective, so we can't return it...sigh.

Crock/Stoneware broke after 2nd use. Rival no longer making this model so no replacement parts available, they are making a 2.5 qt. version now. Followed all instructions, heard popping/cracking noise and then sizzling, investigated and found the entire bottom had exploded out of one of the crocks. Gravy everywhere on Thanksgiving. What a mess. I had actually given it a trial run with water the day after I purchased it and it seemed to work fine. I had purchased it very cheaply from Costco ($39.99) and they are usually very good about returns. I would have rathered just to by a $12 replacement crock, but no parts are available anywhere to do this. I think buying a different brand might get you better results, my friend has a similar GE model and they have reported no problems, and that model has lid-holders to boot.
