Already well-used addition to my kitchen

Overall, I'm pleased with the programmable crockpot but the programmable function isn't what I thought it would be. You can't choose a separate time and temperature. There are 4 programmable settings, High/4 hrs, High/6, Low/8 hrs, Low/10 hrs.

When I saw "programmable" I thought I had found the answer to my "start time" problem. I wanted to be able to say start at noon and be ready when I get home from work rather than start now, as I leave for work, and sit on warm for the afternoon. Instead, I'm still using a lamp/vacation/timer plug in and not really happy with being forced into only 4 cook time choices. It cooks nicely and the size and clean up are great, but I'd rather have cook time flexibility if I can't have start and stop times.

Love IT!

I bought this while I was purchasing the programmable roaster (another fantastic product) and it is worth every penney.
For meals that are smaller or require a gravy/sauce in which to cook this was perfect. My first (ever) crockpot meal was a brisquet that turned out perfectly and I am always confident in the Rival brand.
I look forward to many, many more uses as the winter months loom large!

First time user

I always wanted a crock-pot, so I couldn't wait to use it. I tried a slow cook recipe for old fashion stew beef. On Sunday my family loved it. You put everything you need in the pot set the time and go. "that it" Everything turn out great the meat was tender, vegetables were very seasoned. I had the whole day to just lay around the house. I will never give it up.

Cooking temp

I like this crockpot the I would like it if it cooked at a lower temp on the low settings If I put it on 10hrs even frozen food is done in 6hrs.
