Rival Crock Pot SCVP600 - Rival Smart Pot Slow Cooker Review

Rival Crock Pot SCVP600

The Rival Crock Pot SCVP600 model is 6-quart oval programmable slow cooker.

This is the Rival Smart Pot slow cooker. It has a dishwasher safe glass lid and stoneware insert. Its price range is around $50.

This 6 quart Rival Smart Pot Slow cooker cooks up 9 servings of soup, chili or casserole style dishes, or one or two roasts weighing up to 7 pounds together.

Now before you say "that's to large for my family" stop and think about it.

Small families or even single people benefit by being able to cook large portions of food all at once.

You can enjoy leftovers plus have enough to stock your freezer with delicious meals for later.

Now that's an economical use of time and energy. You're cooking green!!!

Rival Crock Pot SCVP600 Features

The best feature for the Rival Smart Pot slow cooker is that it is very easy to program.

It has four time settings and a high/low setting with a simple touch pad control. It falls between a manual slow cooker and a fully programmable slow cooker.

You just select one of the four automatic time settings (2, 4, 6 or 8 hours) and then choose the temperature setting, (high or low) and you are done!

At the end of the time setting it automatically switches to keep-warm mode.

Rival Smart Pot Slow Cooker Complaints

The biggest complaint that I've seen for this crock pot is the cooking temperature.

The whole idea behind a slow cooker is that it "cooks all day while the cooks away". In fact I think Rival came up with that slogan.

I own a Rival that dates back to the 1970's and it still performs perfectly. All of today's slow cookers cook at temperatures higher than those of the 70's for food safety reasons.

It seems, however, that this particular model Rival cooks extremely hot and you can't leave it alone for fear of burning your food. At least that's what the negative reviews I've read say.

It does come with a cookbook with instructions for filling the pot. The instructions say, "to avoid over or under cooking always fill the pot between 1/2 to 3/4 full".

Now I don't know if that's the problem with the complaints or not but my advice is to follow the book, including the ingredients, assembly and cooking times, until you are comfortable with the slow cooker.

Then if you like you can branch out on your own.

Another common complaint is that the handle on the lid breaks off easily. In some cases the users say the handle is actually melted. Perhaps the complaints of the slow cooker being to hot are correct.

Because of the complaints the Rival Crock Pot SCVP600 - Rival Smart Pot Slow Cooker only rated 2 1/2 stars out of 5 at Amazon.

Personally I would not buy this crock-pot!
