Customer Review: Best money I've spent this year!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've now owned this crock pot for about 6 months and can't believe I have lived this long without owning a crockpot! This thing is awesome!!! I love that I can brown meat on the stove or sautee onions before I set it to cook all day. Then to come home and have a full dinner cooked for me after working all day and sitting in traffic is the best thing in the world. To top it all off, only 1 pot to clean! My mom got it after I told her how great it was and she loves it as well. She uses crock pot liners and said it makes clean up so much easier! I need to find some liners now...Customer Review: Too Hot!

For all that is good about this crockpot, and there is much that is good, it has one insurmountable flaw. It has two temperatures: high and scorch. I have two words of advice for those who buy it. First, always test your recipe when you'll be spending the entire day at home. Its low setting is not low and many recipes will burn to a crisp, wilt to nothing, and/or boil to overflow within a few hours. Second, even the longest cooking recipe will, in this crockpot, be finished in 8 hours or less. Always set the timer - you can always turn the heat back up when you get home.Customer Review: Great Unit!!!

I have a round crock pot, so decided to get an oval pot to accomodate items like a chicken. This crock pot is much more than I was looking to purchase. I just cooked a pot roast...placed crock on stove stop (with diffuser), brown the meat, add the remaining ingredients, placed back in base unit, set heat level, set timer and left the house. When I returned to the house, the timer had completed, reset the heat to "warm" and I had a great dinner. The whole timing unit brings this unit to a whole new level. It is a fantastic purchase..especially at around $70.Customer Review: A fine Rival product

Rival SCVI600B-SS Crock-Pot 6-Quart Premium VersaWare Slow Cooker This Rival product replaced a 30yr old Rival that was still functioning but whose plastic lid had melted a bit and had become distorted. I have used the new Slow Cooker for several meals and particularly enjoyed the stovetop browning feature. The go-to-warm feature at the end of a timed cooking cycle is a nice touch. A bit large on the counter but a great perfoming appliance; four stars indeed.Customer Review: Four stars with reservations

I have only cooked in this crock once since it arrived. I made my usual split pea soup, cooked on low. The soup was better than ever, but I did have a couple of issues. First, the temp. reached over 200 degrees on low as registered by an instant read thermoneter. A bit of the soup burned around the bottom edges of the pot, and after cleaning by hand and then again in the dish washer,the stoneware had a white stain inside. I tried vinegar too, but could not remove the stain.I'm trying another recipe favorite today, so I'll see how it goes.
