Nice Appliance, February 26, 2003

This review is from: Crock-Pot 6-Quart Cool Touch Slow Cooker with Removable Pot and Bonus Carry Bag, White (Kitchen)
This is a super crock pot. It is nothing like the old one we had which was circular in shape and was difficult to keep a constant low temperature. This oval baby is so large we cooked a 8 pound roasting chicken plus veggies! When you put it on low, it is low! When you put it on high, it maintains a very gentle simmer. A true slow cooker! The travel bag is a real nice bonus!

Warning on this one, June 25, 2003
This review is from: Crock-Pot 6-Quart Cool Touch Slow Cooker with Removable Pot and Bonus Carry Bag, White (Kitchen)
I purchased this Crock Pot for my wife for her birthday and we have been very unhappy.
At first I thought we should just wait until we got used to it before being too critical. We have been using it once or twice a week for over 4 months now and I still don't like it.
The lid does not fit well. When the lid is on the pot, there is a gap on both sides that allows steam to escape. Every recipe that we make requires much more liquid than it calls for since most of it evaporates. Even recipes from the Rival cook book require more liquid. Along with the escaping liquid is escaping flavor. Recipes that we have loved for years are much less appetizing than they were with our old pot.
Vegetables are not cooked properly. We cut our vegetables to a reasonable size as we did with our old pot, but even after 10 hours on low, they are not properly cooked.
In short, this pot produces half-cooked, dried out food. Buy at your own risk.
We will be replacing ours as soon as I can find a better one.

One use and it was DONE!, April 19, 2003

I went to use this product for the first time shortly after it was delivered. My food was only cooking for an hour or so when it actually began to flame up and catch fire! The entire crock pot got burned all over and is now ruined! Thank goodness I was home to unplug it and put the flames out. If I had left my home while it was cooking it could have been a disaster! I got in contact with rival about the product but they took no responsibility. They told me to take some cooking lessons instead of blaming their product! How insulting...
If you value your dollars and your safety, stay away from this dangerous product!
