Rival Crock pot 7 Quart Review

I purchased the Rival 7 quart slow cooker in September.  I hadn't done much with this appliance until it turned cold and it is wonderful for making soups, stews, casseroles, chili, mac and cheese, which my family enjoys during the cool weather.  It sure saves me time when I get home from work, when I'm already almost too tired to cook.  But I do have the energy to dish up.

 It has a keep warm setting, which is wonderful if I have to pick up one of the kids at sports practice.

 The only negative I've heard about this (my sister has one, too) is that a replacement lid or replacement ceramic insert are hard to find (if not impossible) if they get damaged.
