The only trick with slow cookers is having to be around to turn them down when the cooking is done. This programmable, plug-in Smart-Part takes care of that; plug a compatible Rival slow cooker into the module and it becomes a Smart-Pot. It can be programmed to cook at high power for 4 or 6 hours, or at low power for 8 to 10 hours. After it's done cooking, it turns to down to a "warm" setting. The design of the Smart-Part--an arc of white plastic with small green and red indicator lights--is neutral and unobtrusive. It's wipeable (but not immersible), should it get splashed while cooking; just make sure and unplug it first. The Smart-Part can only be used with ceramic-type slow cookers rated 400 watts (3.3 amps) or less that do not have their own built-in timers or accessories. The unit measures 5 by 4 by 2 inches and will easily fit in a drawer when it's not being used. Rival provides a limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal use conditions. --Garland Withers
Product Description
Wouldn't it be nice if your run of the mill basic slow cooker was like those state of the art programmable ones? You could program your cooking time and temperature, and keep food warm until serving time. Well guess what? You can update your old slow cooker with this module, which will make any slow cooker programmable like the Rival Smart-PotTM Slow Cooker. Simply plug your slow cooker into the module, plug the module into the wall, and sett the time and temperature on the module.

I don't know why on earth I got this product?
Instead of wasting money on this, I should have just gotten a newer version of a crockpot that already has the same function...

This module does perform as advertised, however I have a huge complaint in the fact that there is no way to manually switch it to the warm mode once you feel that your food is done. This would be very handy at times.

I thought this was the answer to my crock-pot prayers! I received it for Christmas and was heart broken to realize that you can choose high for 4 or 6 hours or low for 8 or 10 hours. (Look at the product image enlarged) Most things I cook take 6 hours on low! I occasionally have something that needs 8 hours but most of the time it is 6 to 7 hours. Unfortunately, if it doesn't do the time you need, it is completely useless. You would have to be home to turn it off or down. So I returned it and am making do with my Select Brands corningware programmable, (it doesn't do 6 hours on low either) and a regular 3 quart. I just make it home in time or I don't cook it!

I would like this better if it had a countdown timer so that you didn't have to start cooking the minute you plugged it in. I realize this would cause a bacteria issue for some things so it may be better to start cooking right away. Also, as I believe others have mentioned, it would be nice to choose the setting and the hours - the options given just aren't enough. I'm not an avid slow cooker user so it just depends on what you like and how you cook. This Smart-Part along with a recent slow cooker purchase were moved from my kitchen counter to an out-of-the-way cupboard because I just wasn't impressed enough to use it regularly.
