What Others Say
Almost caused a fire!
I purchased Rival SCVI600B-SS Crock-Pot 6-Quart Premium VersaWare Slow Cooker over a year ago and thought that it was great. worked beautifully and the dials up front are very easy to use. I use it on our motorhome. Over the labor day weekend I smelled an electical type burning smell. I looked at the crock pot and there was smoke coming from the front panel. I turned it off and restarted it later. The smoke and smell started again. I finished the meal and tossed the crock pot in the trash. Now looking for another brand since I no longer trust Rival.
Bon Appetit liked it
I got this slow cooker based in part on a review from the April 2008 issue of Bon Appetit. They said it was the best "deluxe" slow cooker, noting that they liked it because you could brown meat in the pot on the stove (absolutely essential for slow cooker cooking), it had a count-down timer and an automatic warm setting when the cooking was done, and the pot is dishwasher safe. Sure, it could have a glass lid, but why do you need to see the food? I mean, if it's on, then it's cooking, whether you can see it or not!
no replacement parts
The unit is great but a waste of money since Rival doesn't have any replacement lids, nor do they intend to. It's a crockery lid, and proved VERY fragile. Now I have a useless crockpot and no chance to replace the broken lid.
Would NEVER buy a Rival unit again.
Excellent crock pot
Used it a hand full of times now, and it works as advertised. It might be a *bit* more pricey than other options, but the timer built into it and the ability to throw the pot on the stove for browning your meat makes it all worth it. Seems nice and solidly built, too. Highly recommended!
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.
