Rival Crock Pot - Smart Pot 6-quart 38601 Review

I love the large size of this Rival six quart crockpot.  The oval size easily allows me to fit a pot roast, brisket, or a dinner for six.  The one drawback is that the crockpot gets very hot, even on the lowest setting.  I find that it sometimes burns my sauces and also can cook my meat too fast. The base also gets very hot to the touch.  It is very nice that the cooking container separates from the base, which allows for easier cleaning.  The glass top easily fits in the dishwasher, which is a nice plus in a busy household.  I like the stainless color, which fits in with a modern kitchen and modern appliances.  The programming option is nice for a mom on the go. The weight of the crockpot is not too heavy.  I have to store mine in a top cabinet, and it is easy to lift this appliance to its storage space.  The warm feature is great for when the food is done cooking but would like to keep it warm for serving.  This feature has come in handy many times.
