Large enough to prepare food for a family of four, this 4-1/2-quart oval Crock-Pot slow- cooker features an auto-protect safety system for safe all-day cooking when you're away from home. Here's how it works: the cooker can sense overheat situations and automatically shut itself off, letting you enjoy peace of mind and ensuring that you can provide home- cooked, nutritious meals even if you're working all day.
The oval design ensures that food cooks evenly, and no stirring is necessary, thanks to the heating element that wraps around the sides of the stoneware insert. The two heat settings might frustrate gourmets, but it's hard to argue with the simplicity of off, low, and high. The pot features a glass lid so you can see what's happening with a meal. The removable stoneware cooking well features stick -resistant coating that Rival claims will "rinse clean." This cooker includes extensive instructions, recipes, and a one-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings
Product Description
Set it and forget it! That's the beauty of a Rival Crock-Pot. Even though you won't be there to stir and monitor cooking, dinner will be ready and waiting at a perfect temperature. This cooker can sense when things are overheating and it turns itself off as needed, while the wrap around heating element cooks food evenly. Try some of the intriguing recipes in the booklet, like Carolina Barbequed Pork or Fajita Steak Rolls.

Very poor quality, not what I expected,

This review is from: Crock-Pot 5445-BCN 4-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker, Chrome (Kitchen)
I own a smaller Rival crock pot purchased a year or two ago (model 3351). I was so pleased with it that I decided to explore a larger model. This year's products are cheaper, and more cheaply made. What a disappointment.The lid does not fit properly. It rocks back and forth on the ceramic pot so that making a seal is impossible. If you left this cooking all day long, you would loose all the moisture from the meal. The base is constructed more cheaply, with less insulation. The result is that you can burn yourself by touching the outside surface. The newer programmable model is a bit more substantial, but still not up to the standards of our older unit. If you are looking for a good crock pot, I would recommend that you search out a used model. The new Rivals are so cheaply made that I cannot recommend them.

I have been looking around for a Crock Pot for sometime now and finally decided to buy the Rival 5445 because of the stainless steel look and because it was oval. The shape is excellent for putting a whole chicken in but don't expect to leave it in there all day because it can get very hot even on "low". It was not very well insulated so the pot was even very hot to touch. The steel or metal got so hot the knob cracked off and broke altogether. I don't have children now but it can be very dangerous if you do. I will definately return this one and get one that is better insulated and cool to touch.

Worst Crock I've Ever Used~,

This review is from: Crock-Pot 5445-BCN 4-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker, Chrome (Kitchen)
While it's a fashionable design, its best quality is sitting on the counter. Never buy a slow cooker with only two heat settings -- low and high. All foods I've cooked have had to cook on the high setting for 6-8 hours. The low setting is below a simmer, and it cannot possibly cook food properly.Also, it's not heat resistant on the outside, and it gets soo hot! Stay away from this model. I'm currently searching for another slow cooker myself!
