In spite of the fancy settings, this crock-pot has only one heat: "NUCLEAR" It keeps liquids boiling whether on the high, low or warm setting. I was pretty sure I had a defective model until I read similar reviews both here and elsewhere. The outside gets extremely hot also. Rival pioneered the idea of the crock-pot years ago. What are they thinking?

I'm returning it tomorrow. One star rating only because I'm not allowed to give "zero."

This review is from: Crock-Pot 38651-C 6-Quart Smart-Pot Countdown Programmable Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)

I like the overall look of this crockpot, particularly the stainless steel that fits in nicely with my stainless steel refrigerator and other appliances; Nice oval shape for a variety of dishes; Easy to use button panel; Removable black ceramic insert is easy to clean and can double as a serving bowl.

However, I agree with the reviews submitted for other similar Rival crockpots -- that it gets way too hot. Even on the low setting, the outside is extremely hot to the touch and can cause serious burns, and, after a couple of hours, the contents are bubbling and boiling. Meals are ready several hours before recipes indicate. Requires some experimentation. Yet, I lack crockpot experience overall and this may be typical.

I have tried numerous recipes and adjusted liquids to have waaaaaay more than what is called for and it still burns everything!!!

I even had my mother in law come down and turn it to keep warm at lunch one day, and yep! all was burnt when I got home.

I am putting it up for sale.
