Anyone Buy A Crockpot Recently?

I need to replace my crockpot because the lid (plastic) is warped. It's 15 years old.

Has anyone bought one recently? I read reviews on Amazon for the new ones and they all say that they run really hot and burn things. Anyone tried a West Bend?

I have two different size crockpots from brand name 'Rival' that have always worked superbly for me. Don't you just love these things? I think we got ours at Walmart.

Hi Cheri :D ,

I've had my Rival 6 Quart Oval Smart Pot for about 5 years. I love it! It's big enough to make a good sized roast, turkey breast, etc.

I've never had a problem with burning....the lid is glass, and the whole thing still looks like new.

I got mine at Sears, at the time I think it was around $40.

I also have a Rival Crockpot. Mine has three(instead of the normal two) settings - Low, High, Warm. I have never had any problems with it.

I have a rival also. I bought it at costco 2 years ago. It is HUGE, and has 2 inner stoneware pans, one is divided. It has a glass lid. I have never had any problems with it, I love it.

Thanks for the feedback... I was looking at the Smartpot one and that's the one that got the lousy reviews.

I'm going to go to the stores and look this weekend.

I have the Rival 3 qt oval one. I like it, although I'd like the 6 qt for bigger parties, etc. It's nice and ALWAYS does a nice job. I got the one with a removable crock (do they even make the other kind anymore???). I LOVE that feature.

I too mourned the loss of a crockpot, especially after my first attempt at replacement burned EVERYTHING! Despite the bad reviews on so many crockpots, I got up the courage to try another one in the fall and ordered the Rival-64451LD-C-Cooker-Little-Dipper from Amazon for $40. It's awesome and can even go overnight without burning!!!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
