Rival 4 Qt Slow Cooker – Black and ChromeAmazon.com Review
Slow cookers are usually thought of for chili, soup, or pot roast. But the 200-page bonus cookbook that comes with Rival’s 4-quart Crock Pot stoneware slow cooker branches out, with recipes like Roast Chicken with Peas, Prosciutto and Cream, San Francisco Cioppino, and Lamb Korma. Not what you’d expect for dinner out of a slow cooker. Crock Pots are classics, but this one looks like something stra… More >>

Be careful ordering from this merchant. Ordered this slow cooker on 12/10/07 for a Christmas gift, my “confirmation” said delivery estimate 12/14/07 – 12/19/07. Never heard a word from PresentsForYou. Received notification email from Amazon (thank you, Amazon) that the order had not yet been ship-confirmed by PresentsForYou, & that I could contact PresentsForYou for more information about this order, including the expected ship date, that I may contact the merchant directly by replying to the e-mail message, which I did. I never heard anything from them, & had to go through Amazon to cancel the order.

I’ve had this crock pot for a year and I’ve given it every chance possible. Now I’m going to ditch it. The problem for me has been TASTE. I hate the taste of food cooked in this pot.
Yes, the aluminum gets hot enough to burn fingers. I don’t know about the handles cracking – maybe that would happen in another year, but I’m not going to wait to find out.
I’ve used the crock pot for soups, either presoaking lentils (peas, etc) or cooking the soup or both. Which ever way I do it, I always get a bad taste from the crockpot (yes, it is clean). I’ve done comparisons and my soups cooked in my steel pots are much better!

Overall I am quite happy with this product. I don’t have much experience in using a crockpot but this was very well priced and is extremely easy to use. The only thing that I do not like is the fact that there is no light to show whether it is really on or not.

We used this crock pot four times. After the first two, the knob crumbled into chunks. Then the right handle broke into three pieces (while being stored after the third time we used it), now I am making soup, and the right handle is cracking. This is like a bad joke.

When I worked at a sandwich shop last summer, we used these crock pots to keep sausage and meatballs in sauce hot. They do have the ’spitting’ problem and the handle problem. On the other hand they were on 12 hours a day and held up to fairly intense use. They were as good as the crock pots previously used (I think they were replaced every couple of years, but the older, green style apparently has been discontinued. So the boss bought these new metal ones.) The crocks heat faster than the old ones, so you might need to watch leaving it on high for long periods of time.
Overall, it’s as good as any other crock on the market. All of them burned out after being used 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, 360 days out of the year.
