Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Crock-Pot 3735-WN 3-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker
Customer Review: Cooks hot - will boil on LOW setting
Summary: 3 Stars
Works well enough, but have to watch it until you're familiar with how it is going to cook. The lid rests on the crock, but does not seat as well as my Mom's 30 year old pot. Also, the pot will boil on the Low heat setting. I tried a recipe that called for overnight on the Low setting, and it came out a gummy burnt mess. I will not be able to use this pot the way my mom used hers - I don't trust it not to burn if I am not home to watch it. What is not evident from the picture is that the crock itself angles in toward the bottom, rather than having straight sides. Maybe that is part of the issue?
As far as delivery goes, the pot arrived in good condition within the expected delivery time. No complaints about that.
Customer Review: Excellent CrockPot

This CrockPot works better for my two-person household than any I've had before. Clean-up is simple too. Definitely recommend.Customer Review: Excellent and Easy
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to make fun of these cooking machines. Now, I am a convert. Set it and forget it. How easy is that?
Recipe: some pork meat, sprinkle with dry onion soup mix, throw on a can of whole bean cranberry sauce. Set it on low for 8 hours. 8 hours later you have a delicious meal. There is plenty of juice, the meat is tender and great tasting. Yes, I am a convert.
Customer Review: FIRE!!
Summary: 2 Stars
I had one of these for 2 yrs and it was great. After the first year, the handle broke off the top. I contacted Rival and they said I could buy a new lid. Which I did. They send it and it is not the right size. Fortunately I was able to take the handle off the new one and put it on the old lid. Onto my next complaint... the lid and handle get extremely hot.
Well a few weeks ago I pull my crockpot out, pour in my ingredients, and plug it in. I hear a loud pop and see flames and sparks fly out of the bottom of the crockpot. My husband grabbed a potholder and unplugged it from the wall. Fortunately our circuit breakers popped themselves off when this happened. I took the ceramic dish out of the crockpot and turned the base over to see what happened. The cord was actually burned right off the base at the connection point!! Thankfully we were home when this happened.
I immedietly called Rival since I have never gotten the base wet and always took care of the crockpot. They offered me a replacement crockpot, and to pay for the repairs from the fire on the counter. I did turn down the replacement product. I do NOT want another rival product in my house. Especially after finding out that this has happened to two other people I know!!
I went out and bought a Hamilton Beach, and I never ever leave the crockpot on when we leave the house anymore.
BE CAREFUL with RIVAL!
Customer Review: Fantastic Cooker.
Summary: 5 Stars
My oven has felt neglected for years. Between my crock pot, microwave oven and my toaster oven, my real oven has become a storage area for junk.
This crockpot is perfect for one person or a family. It makes even the toughest and cheapest cuts of meat tender and moist. I simply toss in the meat, veggies and potatoes and then leave the house. When I come home, supper is ready.
I like the two settings - low and high. The high setting really gets the cooking process moving.
Cleaning is a snap. If I don't wash it right away I simply fill it with hot water and let it soak. It cleans right up without scrubbing, even if there's some burned food on the bottom.
Last night I tossed in some chicken, sliced onions and a can of mushroom soup. Does it get any easier than that? It took five minutes of preparation to make a tasty meal fit for a king.
