Works OK, Could Be Better - T. Monroe -
I have had a smaller Rival crock pot for about 15 years. I was happy with it and it still works fine but I wanted a bigger one.br /br /This one works OK. However there seems to be very little difference in heating between the low and high setting on this larger pot. Compared to the old one, the "low" setting is much hotter. It boils vigorously on the "low" setting. Food is always vastly overcooked if I leave it all day. Kind of defeats the purpose of how I like to use a "slow cooker". br /br /If you use low setting and just leave it 4 hours or so most food is cooked about right, which is how the old one works when on the "high" setting. Makes me wonder if the people who designed this ever took one home and used it.br /br /On the positive side, it was inexpensive. Crock is a bit large to clean in the sink, I take it outside on a wood table. It cleans easily using a non-metallic Scotch-Brite pad and the garden hose.
Rival OVAL Crock with little dipper - Jackie Galvin - Florida
I was given this for Christmas. The FIRST time I cooked anything in it the stoneware CRACKED. BEWARE: This is a common occurrance with this specific crock pot and you can NOT find any help with RIVAL. The customer 800 line suggested I contact "Consumer Affairs"! Are you kidding me? I would NOT recommend this product to anyone. Amazon should not have this item for sale unless we can get a warrentee on it and be able to contact RIVAL about problems with their items.br /br /Jackie the Chef

West Bend 84384 4-Quart Oval-Shaped Crockery Cooker
West Bend 84384 4-Quart Oval-Shaped Crockery Cooker Review
I like the crock pot. I was looking for one that had a removable pot. The metal container and the lid are lightweight--they do the job, but are not as sturdy as I imagined. I reasoned that for what I paid for this, it was worth the money. I've only used it once, but it did a great job. I was able to put the pot in the fridge which makes it worth the money. It doesn't take up a lot of room on the counter either. If you are looking for something small and inexpensive, this would be a good choice.
West Bend 84384 4-Quart Oval-Shaped Crockery Cooker Feature
- 4-quart oval-shaped slow cooker with brushed stainless-steel exterior
- Temperature-control dial offers low, high, and keep-warm settings

I can cook. - Steven W. Stillman - Massachusetts
I never could cook. I would burn boiling water. But I felt if I could cook something slow like a pot roast or a good old chicken soup this would be my way of doing it without the burn. My first weekend I made a pot roast,and it was great,even my girlfriend loved it. So this was the best thing I could have purchased.br /Good quality,easy to use,and clean. 5 stars.

Sunpentown HK-4200A Stainless-Steel Induction-Ready Pot with Glass Lid
Sunpentown HK-4200A Stainless-Steel Induction-Ready Pot with Glass Lid Review
This pan is very lightweight and works well on an induction burner for things like boiling pasta or perhaps veggies or simmering light liquids. Its bowled sides and raised logo in the bottom wouldn't work well for things that need to be scooped away from the sides or bottom of the pan with a spatula, as you might with sauces, thick concoctions or when sautéing veggies to start a soup. I cringe to think about trying to get burned stuff off the bottom with that raised logo's nooks and crannies, but for boiling things, it works great. The vented clear cover is a nice feature.
Sunpentown HK-4200A Stainless-Steel Induction-Ready Pot with Glass Lid Feature
- 3-1/2 quart multi-purpose stock pot made of 1810K stainless steel

NOT 'induction ready' - Michael Herzen - Redwood City, CA
My new Viking induction unit, a portable, does not recognize this pot, ie does not couple with it through induction (tho the Viking does recognize an iron frying pan, and does work with it), despite Amazon's recommendation. A magnet does not adhere to its surface, the acid test for an 'induction ready' pot. Moreover, it is so flimsy and light that I was surprised it was not transparent.br /In short: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. It is, essentially, worthless.
Not worth the shipping cost - Jeff L. Alexander - Old Lyme, CT USA
I received this item yesterday and am really disappointed. First of all, it is so flimsy that I can easily bend it in half with my hands. Second, it would not work on my induction cooktop. br /I would not recommend this to anyone.br /

Tiger NFA-B450 4.5 Liter Thermal Magic Cooker
Tiger NFA-B450 4.5 Liter Thermal Magic Cooker Review
We had a zojirushi thermal cooker before this and loved it. It's great for cooking stew, soup etc which requires long cooking time. You just boil the ingredients together and then place the pot into the vacuum container. A few hours later, it's ready to be eaten. Save on gas power bill and no worries about watching over the stove. Highly recommended! Features: 4.5 liter capacity. Makes cooking easy and enjoyable. Boil ingredients in the inner pot over a flame. After boiling, place the entire inner pot into the outer pot. The outer pot's vacuum stainless steel construction maintains the high temperature of the inner pot for slow cooking, easily cooking foods that require low heat.

Not good as a Thermal Cooker - Y. Chen - Falls Church, VA United States
I think the design of this thermal cooker is flawed, the lid area and the handle part leak heat. I tried to use this thermal cooker to cook some beef stew. After 6 hours when I opened it, even though it was still warm the beef stew was not ready. I had to cook the beef stew on stove for another hour. br /br /So it is probably good if you are looking for a thermal warmer but not for a thermal cooker.
Good but not a rice cooker - Emily - Michigan, USA
I've been doing some extensive experiments with the Tiger thermal cooker over the last month or so, and it is quite good at some things and not at all good at other things. The short version is that the pot must be at least half full to retain enough heat to cook properly. So, soups, curries, potatoes, and beans cook quite well if the pot is half full. Rice and split pea soup do not cook well at all, because even a family-sized recipe only fills the pot 1/4 to 1/3 full. I had really hoped to be able to cook rice in this pot, but after five different tries, I still can't get it to work. So, I take one star off for that.br /br /I also take one star off for price. This is a pricey gizmo. I do like it, and appreciate that it uses no fuel once you bring the contents to a boil (which I can do on my fireplaces "warming shelf"). However, 0 is a lot of money. For a cheaper, lower-energy cooking method, try a pressure cooker.br /br /For soups and stews, though, the Tiger does a very nice job. Carrots retain a nice crisp edge even when fully cooked, and except for rice, food tends to stay warm but not overcook. So you decide; if you've got the money and you mostly want to make stew, this is a 5-star item. Full details of my tests are available at [...]
