Yesterday, I spent $5 on a small Rival brand Crockpot at Goodwill. It doesn't have any temp settings, and the crock is not removeable, but it looked like a good size. I love my big crock, and I love having leftovers to freeze, but from time to time, I'd like to be able to just throw a couple chicken breasts or pork chops in and have just enough for 2, and this looked like a good size for that.
Got out it home, filled it with water (seems to be about 1.5 quarts) and plugged it in to make sure it worked. 3 or 4 hours later....the crock was very warm, but I could touch it with my bare hands, and the water was quite warm, but not boiling. Whaaaaaaat? I'm pretty sure my Little Dipper gets hotter faster than this thing!
does anyone know anything about this appliance? Did Rival, at some point, make a 1.5 quart warming thing, like the Little Dipper, but bigger? Should I test it again, but pay closer attention to time and temperature? I'm not ready to throw the thing out yet, but I'm not sure what to do with it...
