Slow Cooker Brand and Model: 

Rival Crock-Pot Cook 'n Serve Trio

My Review 

The Trio is a dream slowcooking machine - three small crock-pots with individual controls, so you can cook an entree in one, vegetable in another and keep the buns warm in the last one. It's an awesome cook and serve appliance.

We are only cooking for two, yet this appliance is used too often to be stored away.

Favorite Features: 

The design of three small cookers in one base makes it a good cook and serve appliance. Size of each cooker is 2-1/2 qts - which is ideal for two people, or for smaller quantities. Cookers are independent, so use one, two or all three.

How could this slow cooker be improved? 

Overall size is its only constraint, it's 31" long so you need a fair amount of counter space. But there is no way to downsize this appliance, you'd lose the versatile cooking and serving function.

Cost of the Slow Cooker: 

Around $100

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes
