Rival Rice Cookers

The slow cooker's history is not a long one. This cooker was brought out as the Bean Pot. It was basically a crock pot on a tray that heated up. The Beanery was the actually the first true forerunner for slow cookers. "Naxon Utilities Corporation" was responsible for developing that one.

This began Rival's exploration into the world of slow cookers. The company found that many types of foods cooked wonderfully with this same method. Once this was discovered 25,000 cookers were brought out and sold to the public as the first official Crock-Pot during 1971.

Also people were encouraged to save energy. Through using the low-wattage Crock-Pot this was easy.

With more women holding down jobs, Rival started to show them how easy fixing meals would be with their slow cooker. Rival knew that it would appeal to women that they could cook a meal, while they were away at work. Rival remains the leader in the market today with its slow cooker. They command a whopping 85 percent of the market. Many cookbooks have even been written chocked full of meal recipes specifically for the cookers of today.

You can find deluxe large-size models if you have a large family. You can cook everything from beef stew to chuck roast in them.

Everyone has such a busy life these days the slow-cooker is used on a daily basis in some homes.

You can find them ranging from a 16-ounce size up to a 7.4-quart size. This is the size of the crock. The low setting heats things to a temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit with the high setting heating food to 190 degrees to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

This amount varies depending on what you are cooking. Special rice cookers are no more than an offshoot of the original slow cookers. So the history goes on for the very convenient cooking tool.
