Customer Reviews

Unacceptable lid and cooks too hot
I had an original Rival crockpot which I replaced with this one just because it looked nicer. Big mistake. The lid is very lightweight and poorly made so that no seal is created and liquid, broth etc. splash out over on to the counter as it is cooking. This is compounded by the fact that the low setting is too hot and cooks everything too fast. With the loss of liquid you also get crusty edges on the stews. This is the first review I've ever written but felt since there were no reviews on the UK amazon site I should write a warning to others, something I have found extremely useful in the past. Similar reviews to mine exist on the US website and other online shops and just wish I had researched more carefully. As many reviewers elsewhere have said, Rival should recall this product.

An excellent choice
I have not really used slow cookers in the past; I remember my parents using them when I was younger - but recently someone told me they had been given one as a wedding gift and they were raving about it so I decided to give it a whirl. I wanted to opt for a well known brand, so I went for this Crock Pot, and I wanted something big enough to be able to cook for 3 or 4 but also small enough to cook for 2, and this is perfect. It is unbelieveably easy to use, I throw a load of chicken or other meat, with veggies and potatoes in before work in the morning, turn it on low and leave it....by the time I get home I have the most amazing home cooked meal ready, and it's healthy because you don't need oil or butter or anything. I'm hooked! The unit looks great in the kitchen and is obviously really good quality. 10/10!!

I love this product
I have never owned a slow cooker, and recently bought one of these - but in red. I love cooking with it (I cook very generous portions for two people) and have never found any of the problems mentioned in the previous review. I just throw everything for a casserole and leave it to cook for three hours. One tip is to put the meat in first so it cooks in any juices and other liquid ingredients. I just cannot believe I did not get one of these earlier. The keep warm function is useful and it does not continue to cook the food. I have left a casserole on this setting for a further 90 mins after cooking and it has kept the food to a good temperature.
