Rival Smart Pot Crockpot By bsd650 on Sep 25, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I decided it was time to try Crockpot cooking. My friends all do it so why shouldn't I. I purchased the Rival 5 1/2 quat Smartpot from Kohls.com. The prices was good at $28.99 and shipping was free. The crockpot arrived within 2-3 days and I was off cooking. I decided to make a easy chicken and salsa receipe that tells you to put the chicken breasts in frozen cover it with all the other ingredients and turn it on low for 4-6 hours and went about my day. The house smelt good all day. About 4 hours into the cooking I check it and it appears the chicken is now done and it's still 3 hours before dinner. I turn the pot to it's keep warm setting ( a great feature)and let it be. It appears that this pot cooks very fast. I'll need to adjust all my cooking times when using it. Clean up of the ceramic insert was very easy. All in all it's a nice crockpot just be aware that you may need to shorten your cooking times.
