'SLOW COOKER'---MOST HELPFUL KITCHEN APPLIANCE---'CROCK POT'

In the 1950's the Naxon Utilities Corporation of Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. developed their version of a bean cooker and named it the Beanery. This very primitive electric ‘Slow Cooker’ was a self contained unit and the precursor of modern day ‘Slow Cooker’ ( ‘Crock Pot’ ). In 1970 the Rival Company bought the assets of the Naxon Utilities Corporation as well as the rights to the Beanery. The Rival Company began refining the Beanery soon after acquisition and in 1971 introduced the first Rival ‘ Crock Pot ‘ ( ‘Slow Cooker’ ). The stoneware liner in the original Rival ‘Crock Pot’ was not removable. In 1974 Rival redesigned the electric appliance with a removable liner for easy cleaning. In 2001 the programmable ‘Slow Cookers’ ( ‘Crock Pots’ ) were introduced.

THINGS TO CONSIDER ! when BUYING a 'SLOW COOKER"

Before you buy a 'slow cooker' consider that inexpensive 'slow cookers' often end up being a bad investment. Choose to buy the best unit you can afford. Make sure that is very easy to clean and that the parts are removable and dishwasher safe.
