Does anyone know of a good crock pot?

Question

I would like to buy a 6 or 7 quart crock pot, but a friend tells me she has two and they both have hot spots. This means she has to stir the ingredients every 30 minutes or so and that just negates the reason for a crock pot.

Rival makes a good brand. I have a 6 1/2 quart. Buy one with a removable dish-MUCH easier to put that in the dishwasher than the old soak and scrub method.

I believe the genuine Crock-pot as the best as they were designed for that type of cooking and others a just cheap copies.
Judge by price and compare the brands you are looking at. If they are ridiculously low steer clear of them, and find out which brands your friend has and what she has been cooking as it that could be the problem and not the slow cookers she has

I find the oven or hob is just as good and a lot quicker but then I don't have to cook for many

The  cheaper  new  ones  do  seem  to  have  hot  spots.  And mine  overheats.  I  have  a  new  one  and  an  older  one  that  I  like  much  better.  I  believe  you  have  to  pay  a  little  extra  $$  to  get  a  good  crock  pot  these  days.  The  cheap  ones  are  just  that... they  are  cheap  and  poorly  designed.

The original crockpot was best but there are many good brands around today such as Kambrook,Breville,Sunbeam etc.I have never heard of one having a hot spot.

Buy a good brand, either Rival or Crockpot. I have a five quart Crockpot brand, and have no problems.
