Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The 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 temperature switch flips to low, high, or a warm setting, which keeps food at the right eating temperature but doesn’t overcook it. The exterior of this Crock-Pot is contemporary chrome that 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

2.0 out of 5 stars Water leaks out from under the lid, February 8, 2004

This Rival crock pot is my third or fourth crock pot. All of its predecessors eventually stopped working. However, none of them experienced the problem I discovered when I first used this model: The lid is too light to keep water from building up around the edge of the pot. Eventually the lid begins to float on a layer of hot water around the edge of the pot. I had to keep mopping the water away from the rim of the crock pot in order to keep it from overflowing onto the counter--and that water was hot, as it was condensing from steam. I was using the low setting, so I'm not exactly dying to find out how fast the water builds up when I set it to 'high.'

The next time I use this pot, I'll try setting some kind of weight on the lid. If you purchase this model, beware of hot water leakage, and adjust for the fact that whatever you are cooking in the pot is going to be a little drier than you might have expected because of the escaping water.

1.0 out of 5 stars WAY too hot!, August 19, 2004

This review is from: Crock-Pot 33511-C Round 5-Quart Crock-Pot, Chrome (Kitchen)

I had heard great things about crockpots, and bought this one. There are now 4 of us and I work, so the convenience sounded great. In 2 weeks I have used it 3x. Once for a thick bean soup, once for a chicken dish with fruit, and once for a beef in gravy dish. All were AWFUL because the darned thing just gets TOO HOT! In an hour or two everything was at what I would call a medium boil. With the chicken I came home, turned it to "warm" when I saw it was cooking 'real quick, and then took the dogs out. When I got back 45 mins later, the chicken was BOILING on "warm". I added large chunks of apples and they were all cooked very soft in about 15mins. Where's the SLOW in this slow cooker?
