The Rival Stoneware Slowcooker is a very inexpensive crock pot to have. I have used this crock on many occassions and for many many days! It is very easy to store and takes up very little space in my cabinet. This slow cooker definitely gets four stars from me. I would have given it five stars but beacuse of the size I cannot put a whole lot in the slow cooker. I have a family of five so this is just right for us.  Other than that I love this slow cooker.
