Cons: Large size for storage

The Bottom Line: Buy a model with a removable crock!

Review: Before reading this Epinion, you have to understand our household. First, we have two kids, ages 1 and 5. Second, my wife does not like to cook and I do. Third, everything around our lives is a sense of organized chaos. How does this relate to the...

Pros: The beautiful crock can go straight from the cooker to the table.

Review: Rival Crock-Pot 4 1/2 Qt. Stoneware Slow Cooker

I had no desire to buy another crock pot, but when I saw this Oval Rival Slow Cooker in K-Mart, I couldn't resist buying it. The Rival crock pot I had was round and small, and it didn't have the...

Cons: None that I've found

Cons: Very large crock is difficult to wash in a small sink

Review: For years, I resisted the crock pot...what a fool I was! I received one for Christmas (don't worry, it was from my Mom, not my husband), and I really don't know how I did without it. I work odd hours, some days home at 4, some days not until 10. Since I...

Pros: long term meal planning, removable crock, easy and fun to use

Cons: none

Review: I pretty much ignored Crockpots as a necessary kitchen item for most of my married life. My parent's never owned one, and I couldn't figure out why I needed one. I mean, all you can make in them is stew and soup type things...right? Oh boy was I...
