| fatima98g's Full Review: Rival 2 qt. Removable Crock-Pot Slow Cooker |
I think we all strive to make our lives simpler today more than ever before. For me, that was always a real problem. You see, my mother raised me terrible. She forced me to cook from scratch. How can you survive in today's world if you like everything made from scratch? No one has the time for that? Well this handy crock pot..oops I mean SLOW COOKER...has made it possible for me to have my food the way I like. The best part, I don't have to give up everything else to get it.
So Why Am I In Love With A Pot?
~This is a 2 quart slow cooker. This is the perfect size for my family. I make enough for us to eat and sometimes have leftovers of a soup or stew.
~There is stoneware dish that is removable from the actual heating unit. The food cooks inside this dish. Since the dish is removable, serving and clean-up is so much easier. The dish is dishwasher safe. This means from start to finish it is one dish not tons.
~The slow cooker has two temperature settings, low and high. I prefer to start a stew or roast the night before and let it simmer while I sleep. If I can remember then low is the way to go. Even I fall victim to procrastination from time to time. Depending on how bad my procrastination is I may have to rush things along a bit, this means the high setting has sometimes been a very good friend. High also works to make barbeque a little easier by tenderizing meat for a little while.
~The lid for this slow cooker is plastic and see through. I can not count how many times I forgot to grab a pot holder before taking off the glass lid to my old cooker...ouch. However, this plastic lid is much safer for those of us with minds failing.
~The version I own came in a travel kit. The kit offers an insulated bag with velcro to keep the food warm and in place while transporting the food. I am sure everyone has tried to transport chili, stew, or something to a get together only to find that it transported onto you or your upholstery. This little gem makes getting there with everything still clean a sight more likely. I will not say it guarantees safe delivery, but you have a much better chance.
I have always been a crock pot user, but now I am in love. This has made my food preparation a sight more bearable. Now if I could just find something that could really take care of fresh vegetables. I hate knives.
