Rival Crock Pot Model 3355 Review
As Seen On TV. Save Money – Make Secret Restaurant Recipes at Home!
Rival crock pots – This Rival Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker Model 3355 was received as a wedding gift (way back when…), and has proven to be an essential appliance in our kitchen inventory. It cooks extremely well for its size, and maintains an even, constant heat throughout the entire cooking process.
The insert removes easily for cleaning, or to store the meal in the fridge and return it to the base the next day for a quick re-heating. A removable crock is essential for cleaning purposes, but many don’t realize what a convenience it can be as a storage unit also.
By replacing the lid and transferring to the refrigerator, a major step has been saved in the cooking / storage process. We simply love the flexibility and portability of this Rival Crock-Pot®

The glass lid provides access to view the cooking meals without removing the lid, which of course would allow steam and heat to escape. With slow cookers, temperature control is key, and having to constantly remove the lid to check the progress of your cooking would compromise the process considerably.
After years of use and kitchen abuse, the coating on the inside is becoming slightly dull, and this makes it a bit more difficult to clean after each use. However, this probably could have been avoided by spraying the inside liner with a cooking spray before putting the food in it, a tip we unfortunately learned a little too late. Overall, though, we’ve been very pleased with this particular kitchen item and would not hesitate to replace it with an exact duplicate model (just saw one listed for $11 on another site) or another in the Rival Crock-Pot® line.
The durability of this model has proven exceptional, and the price of other models in the Rival family seem to be just right. Of course, the price of this particular model was just perfect… FREE, we just had to ‘tie the knot’ to receive it as a gift, and it has definitely been one of our gifts that stood the test of time… Prior to receiving it, I don’t think either of us had done much slow cooking with crock pots, etc
All-in-all I think we would rate this a rock-solid 4.5 out of 5 stars, as it has definitely been one of the most often used, most versatile, worry free appliances in our kitchen. With a little research and due diligence, you may find another make and model of crock pot that suits your needs and performs as well for you as this one has performed for us. And whether you’re shopping for a crock pot, a potato chipper or even a cordless knife, it always pays dividends to delve as deeply as possible and explore all your options before making a purchase.
Not much more to say, really…
PROS – Great capacity for family meals, nice design and pattern, heats well – cooks well, low & high settings, removable pot insert, glass lid
Cons – A little difficult to wash with normal wear-n-tear, but that could possibly be avoided, as described above
(all orders processed through Amazon.com for optimum efficiency)
