Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Crock-Pot SCVP600-SS 6-Quart Smart-Pot Programmable Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Another unhappy customer - way too hot!
Summary: 1 Stars
Like many other reviewers, mine cooks waaay too hot. Boils even on low.
I tried several recipes and all were overcooked and stringy (they were all meat) hours before the minimum recommended cooking time. A friend made her tried-and-true beef recipe while visiting - same thing happened to her.
I've had it for too long to return it. What a waste of money. This is the second Rival crockpot I've had - the first one did the same thing, but I thought it overcooked because it was a cheap model (<$20).
Customer Review: Way too hot!
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently got this cooker at Costco, and have made 3 dinners with it.
The liquid began to BOIL within 2 hours on every occasion, and that was on the lowest setting possible. The unit was very hot, would burn your hand if you inadvertantly touched it - not good if kids are around! Also, the counter underneath the cooker was so hot that I was afraid that it would be damaged and had to place the unit on a wooden cutting board.
I will be returning it pronto. Skip this cooker and try another brand.
Customer Review: This style had a manufacturing defect - contact Rival to replace
Summary: 2 Stars
We got one as a wedding gift - cooked way too hot. My aunt had the same pot and it boiled over onto her counter - it could have started a fire! We contacted Rival and there was apparantly a heating element problem in many of these units. They sent us a replacement crock pot for free. We opted to switch to the VersaWare because the stoneware was more versatile, and we're very happy. If you have the Smart Pot and it cooks hot, you should contact Rival immediately. They were very good about it all.Customer Review: No complaints here!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This crock pot is a great. It's not super expensive and gives a BANG for it's buck. The options to set your cook time for 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours comes in very handy when you have something else to do during the time. I also like the 'warm' setting to keep your food hot once the cooking is done. The 'pot' is separate from the outside section so you can remove it from the actual part that cooks the food and store it in your refrigerator if you got some left overs. I recommend this to everyone.Customer Review: Works well for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I was surprised by the above reviews about this crockpot cooking on too high a temperature. I have not had this problem at all. I made a beef stew, chicken stew, and pulled pork with this slow cooker so far. I always use the 10-hour low setting because I work all day. These meals have come out just fine every time. Maybe I have a newer version (I just got this as a gift in October 2007)? Anyway, this slow cooker has worked very well for me and I have had no problems at all.
