I have a Rival, 6 Qt stoneware Smart Pot. I paid maybe $49 for it at
Costco last month. It comes with two crocks -- a regular, oval 6qt and
a divided one (looks sort of "yen/yang"ish). I love it. I like being
able to do two smaller dishes at the same time, and since I'm frequently
gone from the house more than 10-12 hours/day, I like the "warm" feature
it has (automatically switches to "warm" mode when the cooking time is
done). I do wish, however, there was a way to set it with a timer. I
used to use an outlet timer with my old crockpot, but this one (since
it's digital) doesn't work with one.
