Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Crock-Pot SCVP600-SS 6-Quart Smart-Pot Programmable Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: No problems
Summary: 3 Stars
I haven't had any problems with burning. The reason I don't LOVE this crock pot is that the programming options are just too limited. You get High for 4 or 6 hours, and low for 8 or 10. What if I want to cook on low for six hours? Or even high for 5? You can't cycle through the settings to turn it to warm, the only way it will go is at the end of the cycle. Still have to pay attention to what time you turned it on, just in case. Also, it doesn't seem like the lid creates a very good seal, and isn't that a must with crock pots? It gets the job done and is probably worth the low price, but I am going to upgrade to the true programmable one.Customer Review: Burns everything
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this slow cooker for about a year and a half now. This cooker burns EVERYTHING unless I stay home to babysit it. I find that 10 hour recipes burn at the top and round the edges after only a few hours on the low setting.
I was so disheartened to come home from work and smell burnt lamb vindaloo/chili/lentil soup. I finally gave up on it. Since the warranty is expired, I decided to keep it and use it for keeping things warm for parties, etc. It is completely worthless as a slow cooker.
If you plan on using this to cook while you are away, do a little research on other brands. I do not recommend this one.
Customer Review: Too fast, too hot!
Summary: 1 Stars
I received this slow cooker for Christmas last year and have never been happy with it. The first time I used it my dish boiled and burned so I thought it was broken. My husband called Rival and they said they hadn't heard of this problem. We sent it back and they sent us a new one. I have used the new one a few times and same problem. I checked out this sight and reviews out of curiosity and it certainly confirmed my experience. My mother's very old avocado green crock pot works so much better than this new one. The only nice feature of the new one is the removable crock but ease of cleaning doesn't justify a lousy overcooked meal.Customer Review: Do Not Buy!
Summary: 1 Stars
I wish I had read some of the reviews on this site before I purchased this crockpot last year. I thought it was my imagination that everything was "boiling" too soon. I decided to send a complaint to the company and was told to test it by filling it over half full and checking the temp. I used cold tap water because I didn't want to ruin another meal. I put only 3-1/2 quarts in this 6-quart cooker because any more would have brought it to the edge. After 4 1/2 hours on low the water was boiling. I emailed the results and was told this was normal. As far as I'm concerned, this is not "slow-cooking"! I will never buy another Crock-Pot.Customer Review: Not really programmab;e
Summary: 3 Stars
In a "programmable" product, you would expect to be able to have some variation other than the 4 speed/time selections provided. For example, I would like to be able to start a particular recipe on high for an hour, then switch to low for 4 hours, expecting then that the cooker would switch to Warm. However, to do that you would have to set the pot for 4 hours, then be there to turn it off after one hour, then set it for 6 hours on low, and be there to turn it off after 4 hours. Unless you cooked it the full time on either setting, it would NEVER go to Warm, and you can't manually Warm. I am very disappointed in this product.
