I have always loved Rival crockpots. I have had this one over a year. I have never had one that absolutely burns the food. The meat is all dried up and the crockpot is almost impossible to clean. The material is crusted on and has to soak a few days before it loosens up enough to be scrubbed off. Is there a solution? Please let me know.

There has been a lot of worries of a chicken sitting in a crock pot for a few hours on low. It could get bacteria growth started. So ALL NEWER crock pots are cooking at a higher temperature to prevent this issue. It has totally ruined the purpose of the crock pot. I actually replaced my new crock pot for an older one I found on EBAY and it solved my problems of over cooked food. Here is a test to see if your food is being over cooked.
Here is a good way to test a crock pot to see if it is a "hot" one. Fill the crock pot 1/2 to 2/3 full with one to two quarts of water. Heat on LOW for eight hours. Check the water temperature with an accurate food thermometer. Do this quickly because the temperature drops 10 to 15 degrees when the lid is removed. The temperature of the water should be between 185 to 200F. Temperature readings above 185-200F indicate that a food cooked for 8 hours without stirring would be overdone.

Where can I find the manual for My Rival Crockpot Model 3150. Its never been used, wedding present many years ago. Box says the Stonewear is removalable, but how?

To find the manual for your Rival Crockpot Model 3150, there are a few options you can try:
1. Rival's Official Website: Visit the official website of Rival (www.rivalproducts.com) and search for your specific model. They often provide user manuals and guides for their products. Look for the "Support" or "Customer Service" section on the website.
2. Online Manuals Databases: There are several websites that collect user manuals and offer them for free download. You can try visiting websites like ManualsLib (www.manualslib.com) or ManualsOnline (www.manualsonline.com) and search for your model number. Enter "Rival Crockpot Model 3150" in the search bar, and you may find the manual available for download.
3. Contact Rival Customer Support: If you can't find the manual online, you can reach out to Rival's customer support directly. They can provide you with the manual or guide you on how to remove the stoneware. Look for their contact information on their website and give them a call or send them an email explaining your situation.
Regarding the removable stoneware, the specific method may vary depending on the model. However, here's a general guideline on how to remove the stoneware from a typical Crockpot:
1. Ensure that the Crockpot is unplugged and completely cool before attempting to remove the stoneware.
2. Open the lid and locate the handles on either side of the stoneware.
3. Hold the handles firmly and lift the stoneware straight up and out of the heating base.
4. Be careful while lifting, as the stoneware can be heavy, especially if it contains food or liquid.
5. Once removed, you can clean the stoneware separately or use it as desired.
It's always a good idea to consult the manual specific to your model for detailed instructions on removing and handling the stoneware.

Your crockpot heat unit is overheating. Return it to the store you purchased it at or contact the manufacturer. My Rival did that and I contacted the company and they sent me a new one.
