 Big, beautiful, and cooks to perfection. Jun 26, 2006
By knitter4years

This is a 5 star item.
I've never owned a slow cooker and was a bit concerned after reading that Rival slow cookers received significantly lower ratings than other brands of slow cookers. This one works like a charm. I was also concerned because I read that older models of slow cookers cooked more slowly on low, and that some newer slow cookers cooked at a heat that was too high.
Not to worry. On low, it's exactly that. Perfect and slow and will cook roasts to perfection in 8-10 hours. On high, it works perfectly too. It's a lovely looking black ceramic stoneware insert too. I'm on my way to being a crock pot fanatic. I am a brand new fan.

 What is the world coming to...??? Sep 16, 2006
By Ace2010
Why do manufacturers always have to change a good thing?
I had a Rival crockpot for over 12 years. It always worked great. The idea behind a crockpot is to cood slow and low. My old Rival cooked at 150 degrees on the "Low" setting.
I use the old Rival all the time, and decided to get a second one so I could use them both simutaneouly and cook two recipes at the same time. I looked at the reviews for the electronic Rival models. Everyone said they cooked too hot. So I finally purchased this 6.5 quart model with the simple knob control.
Well, I filled the crockpot full of 8 lb.s of chicken. The next morning, I could smell the burning food. I looked in the pot, and the chicken was boiling on the "Low" setting.
So, the next night I filled it full of a vegetable soup recipe. The next morning, the soup was boiling over ... again on the "Low" setting. The veggies were overcooked and mushy. I measured the temperature and it was 195 degrees.
I won't buy anymore Rival products. I only gave this 2 stars because I guess you could conceivably use it to make soup ... If you're willing to stand over it and turn it off when it starts to overboil.

I love this Slow Cooker. My friend recommended it to me about three years ago but the only thing I cooked in it was whole chickens. Then I moved to SD and my mother-in-law showed me how to use it for EVERYTHING. Now I cook roasts, steaks, sooups, and even spaghetti in this thing. It's a time saver! And so easy to clean up.

 Rival 64451LD-C 6.5 quart slow cooker Jan 21, 2007
By cats12188
It is very large and easy to use. The only negative comment that I have is that it only has 3 feet on the bottom. If you press down on either side it does become unsteady and tip but not enough to fall over or spill contents.

 Low setting is WAY to hot!!! Nov 06, 2007
By Food Maven
"Experienced Cook"
Rival 64451LD-C 6.5 Quart Slow Cooker with Bonus Little Dipper Slow Cooker I've used this a couple of times and each time it cooked food way to fast. Recipes that were supposed to take 4-6 hours were done in 1 hour! I lost my receipt, but if I had it, I would return this "slow" cooker. It's terrible. I had used older slower cookers and they worked fine...don't know why they changed them.
