Rival 2 1/2 Crockpot November 12, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Believe it or not, I have never owned a crockpot, and I am 60 years old. I decided to purchase one and enjoy making some comfort foods for myself. I love this little inexpensive crockpot, in fact my sister says that I am going to wear it out. Even though I no longer work, I love putting everything in it, and enjoying the aroma as it cooks, and then later in the day have a wonderful meal, such as my beef barley stew, chicken soup, pineapple pork chops over rice, and now I am going to make some rice pudding and bread pudding. For the money, you could not get a better little crockpot, and I highly recommend it. Enjoy!
Awesome little crock! November 6, 2008 I own four Rival sow cookers and this one gets used most. It can hold a lot more than it appears. I use it to cook small roasts, warm hot dogs for teh kids, make side dishes, for pasta dishes, to bake potatoes and yams, for rice pudding and so much more! My larger Rival crocks have had problems such as the handles breaking off from the lid or the heating element stop working, but this one keeps on going. We are a family of 6 and find so many uses for this little crock. It is a great investment and a great price!
Love this November 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We bought this crockpot because of the great reviews and it has been great. We've used it to make stew (beans, barley, meat, and veggies). We cooked it on low for 17 hours and it was great. If you're going to cook your food for a long time, make sure to put enough water and keep it on low. If you fill it to the top, it's a full meal for about 4 people.
Oatmeal does burn October 23, 2008 Yes, the overnight oatmeal does get crispy/dry/burnt around the edges. The second time I cooked overnight oatmeal, I reduced the cooking time from 7 to 3 hours and it helped. Less burning. Next time I will keep it at 3 hours and add more water. Overall, it's a decent product.
Perfect size October 18, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This size is just right for one, two, or three people. Rival is a good, steadfast brand, and I have used it for years.
