 Uniquely Useful Little Crockpot -- consider its possibilities! May 28, 2008

This is a lovely little crockpot whose small size makes it uniquely useful for a number of purposes. I've owned larger crockpots for a couple decades (currently a 6 quart Rival Smartcooker is my mainstay for preparing family-size meals), but the larger pots take up a significant amount of counter space & aren't at all useful for heating or re-heating small quantities. This little crockpot, however, is perfect for heating or re-heating 2-4 servings of soup or stew. I originally bought it, however, because it is *absolutely perfect* for making hot cereal on cold mornings, especially those hot cereals that require more than a few minutes of cooking in the microwave or on the stovetop, such as steel-cut oatmeal (try the nutty goodness of traditional steel-cut oatmeal once & you're unlikely ever to return to instant or "quick cook" oatmeal again). There is nothing nicer on a cold winter morning than walking into the kitchen & knowing that a healthy, delicious hot breakfast is awaiting you. From mid-October to late-March, virtually every night I prepare my family's hot breakfast for the next morning in this little crockpot.
Other uses we've discovered: it's perfect for making & serving hot mulled cider; keeping hot dips, gravies & warm sauces & syrups heated on the buffet; as a substitute fondue pot; & for heating soup at times when hovering over a stovetop or near a microwave would be inconvenient (how nice to come inside from raking leaves or shoveling snow to a hot bowl of soup!). For single people or couples who prefer not to cook in large quantities or apartment dwellers with limited storage space, this crockpot would be a very acceptable slow cooker, especially if used in conjunction with Rival's inexpensive SP100-PDQ Smart-Part Module (also sold on Amazon as of the date of this review), which provides the same timed-cooking controls that are integrated with many of Rival's larger, more expensive crockpots.
The energy used is minimal, too -- only 80 watts -- & the stoneware bowl fits conveniently in the dishwasher, as does the lid, for very convenient clean-up.
 Major Disappointment December 8, 2007

I bought the Rival 1.5 qt. Crockpot thinking it would be just right for my bachelor household. I couldn't have been more wrong. It's too small to make practically anything, particularly if you want leftovers. It has only one heat setting (supposedly low), and if you fill it up with soup, It takes forever. However, if you only fill it up halfway (e.g., kielbasa & saurkraut), it will burn it. There's no way I would leave this plugged in and leave the house. It has no handles, and the outside gets surprisingly hot. I'm waiting for a larger replacement, and from a different company. This was a major disappointment, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

From mid-October to late-March, virtually every night I prepare my entire family's hot breakfast cereal for the next morning in this little crockpot, with no more effort than is required to make single serving of instant oatmeal or cream of wheat in the microwave.
