Rival Crock Pot - 5 Quart Programmable Review

I absolutely love this crock pot.  I had on old one that the center didn't come out so you had to be careful of the cord when washing it, and it only had three temp settings.  This Rival crockpot is great because it's longer than it is tall which means it's easier to cook things.  You don't have to reach down in and stir everything to get it to cook.

The Rival comes with the center dish made to be removed for easy cleaning or to put it on the table to serve.  It is the first programmable crock-pot slow cooker.  You can set it for how long you want it to cook, and you can select the temperature.  I love this timer feature as I am not home to observe the processes.  I simply get everything ready in the morning and put it all in and set it to cook longer and on a lower setting.  The inside is very easy to clean and food does not stick.

You can make a lot of different things in a crock pot, including dessert.  There are numerous books for sale with recipes specifically for slow crocker cooking.  Not only are things made in these pots delicious, but also more fulfilling.  Their easy and fun to use and make little mess so clean up is easy.
