We have a West Bend slow cooker, which I love. It is a six quart and sits
on a griddle which you cook a cheese sandwich on when not using the slow
cooker for something. L Linda

My Rival is probably the same vintage as yours. It lost a handle early on
but otherwise has given me no problems. I think it's a five quart model.
When this one dies I'll probably try to find another one from the same
company.
I also have one of the original rival crock pots -- the tall ones that
have
a fixed crock. I don't use it as much, but it's handy when I have two
crock
pot things going.

Subject: [CnD] On Crock Pots
Speaking of crock pots, what does anybody like and use? I have two, one
of
which is probably going to crock pot heaven shortly due to its age and
being, uh, well-loved and constantly used. It has made so many meals.
It's
a regular Rival 3 and a half quart. The glass insert is removable and it
has a glass lid. It only has low and high and off for settings. It's
very
beat up, the color and finish are coming off the exterior and the control
knob has baken flight. I think it's almost 23 years old. I love the
temperature at which it cooks. I have a big one, different brand. It's
okay but cooks much faster, but it serves it's purpose in its own way.
Would like to find another good small crock with a glass lid and crock
insert that is blind friendly to use and that cooks gently without fuss.
