Rival Crock Pot
The Original Rival Crock Pot
Although the term crock pot has become the term most of generically apply to all slow cookers, the Rival Crock Pot is the original on which all others are based.
The real start of the crock pot began in 1970 with a simple bean pot. From there it has grown and has revolutionized modern day cooking. Before the advent of the slow cooker, people, most generally the woman of the house would spend hours each day in the kitchen preparing simple wholesome meals for their families. When more and more women began joining the work force, spending hours in the kitchen simply was not possible. Often times women worked right up until dinner time, and had to rush home and throw something together in short order.
Rival's crock pot changed all that, making it possible to throw in the ingredients for a tasty pot roast or other complete dinner into the crock pot set the heat at low, medium, or high and go off to work and come home to a completely cooked meal that was both nourishing and tasty.

It has become one of the most widely used appliances in today's kitchens.
