Every time I post a dish that I cooked on a crock-pot, most of my friends and commenters would say they need to get their own crock-pot soon. Well, this Rival Chrome Crock-Pot is just as good as any. It happens to be on sale by the way.
This Rival Chrome Crock-Pot is currently on sale for $27.99 at Macy’s. The size is 4 QT so that’s big enough for any roasts, or soups and stews kind of dishes. I love the chrome style too. Now I feel like buying another crock-pot .
