The low setting allows for slow (12 hour+) cooking overnight or all day. I love to put on a pot of chili before I go to bed or work, and let the house soak up the aroma!

Just be careful with the countertop placement, as the sides get very hot!

We're a Rival Family  Nov 12, 2003
By Sara Swihart
When I was looking for a crockpot, I wanted something affordable and durable. My Mom had a Rival crock pot when I was younger (it was orange and older than the hills). My Dad also has an older version of this one, only it has a plastic lid. After 10 years, the lid broken, but it still works.

I got this one and love it. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that are available with some of the more costly models, nor does it have a design. It is just a nice crock pot that is big enough for a small roast or a pot of chili (which is great on a winter's day)

Bad Crock  Jun 19, 2008
By KGS "Crock-a-dial-tears"
I have a thirty year old Rival Crock Pot that still has not one crack in it. Therefore, I was shocked when I used this large beautiful piece of cookware for the first time and it cracked. Multiple cracks after the very first use. It wasn't an expensive purchase but a very disappointing one. Was it bad luck... I have no clue. I'd love for Rival to exchange my cracked crock for a new one so I could find out and I'd be happy to say, it was just bad luck.

A must have for your kitchen!  Nov 16, 2004
By Fruit Loop
Rival gives the cook a great product with this easy to use and clean cooker. From stews to beans to roasts, you've got a great little machine here, and the removable crock is so convenient! Cook the dish for your church potluck, wait for the crock to cool a bit, take it out, and off you go with no need to change dishes! The crock is attractive enough to sit on the table for serving with your best dishes. Dishwasher safe, too! Highly recommend for any cook, and makes a great wedding shower gift!

GREAT Product!  Apr 25, 2005
By Rhonda Hawley "ratfinkxi"
Got this 2 weeks ago, cooked beans, soups, tomato sauce and it works beautifully. After 12 hours on low, tomato sauce had no scorching.

The nice surprise was how easy it is to clean: just fill with water, wait 5 minutes, and wipe out, very easy: I dont even need to use the cooking bags. We are on a low sodium diet and this is indispensible for us as we have to make almost everything from scratch.
