VersaWare Cooker slow
This is a very well made and nice looking chicken crock pot that is easy to use and easy to clean. The one-container ability that the VersaWare liner provides is a big plus to saving room and dirty dishes. The liner is very easy to clean and maintains a much more attractive finish than the previous glazed stoneware liners I have used over the last ten years. This cooker slow also seems to cook a lot more uniformly across the liner than my previous stoneware cookers did.
As has been a very common complaint with Rival crock pots and slow cookers - they cook on too high a temperature when set to “low”. This cooker slow seems to run at medium and high temperatures and is not a very good choice if you plan on leaving it for more than 6-8 hours. The warm setting works great and is perfect to re-heat items that the oven would normally dry out. A great slow cooker reviews as long as you realize that it cannot be left for a full day without burning the food. If you do plan on leaving it all day, then make sure you add about 30% more liquid so that it doesn’t dry out and burn.
A great programmable crock pot and well worth the money.

Customer Reviews
Not all cooker slow models are created equal, I guess rival cooker
It is understandable that some of the reviewers are upset with their Rival Crock-Pots, and I wouldn’t have a way of knowing if their claims are true or false. Unfortunately, this thread of reviews seems to lump together all sorts of different Rival models, with differing sizes and features. My review is for model number 5855C. I have used it and I have absolutely no problems with it. It has not “cracked”; it does not boil the food. To be honest, it does exactly what I would expect from a chicken crock pot: It cooks efficiently, with the added benefit of having a programmable digital timer. I did not pay upwards of 100 bucks for this, either. I found it, brand-new, in the box, at Tuesday Morning for $25. One thing to consider is that larger Crock-Pots are meant to be used when cooking larger meals. Makes sense, right?
