Pros & Cons
Pros
This is the right size for little soups and stews. It makes 5 man-size mugs of hot soup. Perfect for slow cooking a roast or pork shoulders (western style ribs) this seems to be my fav because you don't need much to make a great healthy soup or stew. ... Read More
It works great still. It definitely is a keeper. Oh, so cute.
It makes 4-6 servings which is good for dinner, and lunches tomorrow. For about $20, this is a great way to get some great tasting meals. It cooks beans within 3-4 hours perfectly and suits my needs perfectly.
Rival 5025wg 2-1/2-quart crockpot is a great size for smaller quantities. Most crock pots come in a standard family size design of around 4 to 6 quarts or more. I have a 6 quart crock-pot and sometimes it is too big for just my husband and i.
The crock is easy to clean--i spray with a bit of pam if it is a recipe that might warrant it. My other crockpot is auto.
Cons
The lower setting is too high. It just boils instead. And it makes a mess. Even on the low setting, my overnight cereals burn. Would not recommend.
Highlights
Quality
I have used it several times now and am very happy with the quality of the product and how well it cooks.
Seems to be well made and so far, so good!
The new crock pot doesn't get hot enough to leech lead out of the glaze anyway.
If preferred a roux of the meat juices and flour can be well beaten and then added to the pot instead at the near end of cook time.
Price
Perfect size slow cooker at great price.
All in all, a very good and quite satisfactory purchase, especially considering the low price of this model.
I found this crock pot on sale at meijer for $7.
However for about $20, this is a great way to get some great tasting meals pretty cheaply.
Shipping
Got it on time and was as advertised.
I am very satisfied with mine, and you can get this cooker with free shipping when bundled.
Packaging/appearance
I was looking for an oval crockpot and this one had a picture at one place showing oval and at another round so i checked by se... Read More
Mine did arrive all white--the crock and the outer metal portion--and that is fine.
As i unpacked it i realized that i had bought this very same size when i was first-married.
Competitiveness
It is certainly not as scorching hot as my big versaware pro.
