Rival crock pot..."warm" setting.

[Mitch]

I have a Rival crock pot. No manual.
It's the type where you push a button to cycle through the different
hours/temp settings.

When the cycle is done, it switches to "warm."

There's a way to set it directly to warm through a series of button
pushes, but for the life of me I can't remember how to do it.

Does anyone know how?

Good luck.

I was just trying to figure this out. Try holding down Cook Time
while plugging it in. It worked on mine.

[Sheldon]

I think I'd rather download the user's manual from the site I posted
and follow the directions contained therein... your method doesn't
sound like anything the manufacturer would suggest, could even
permanently damage the electronic chip.

This worked for me as well. Thanks!

Holding the power button down when pluging in the cord works great

Hold down cook time while you hit off, then hit cook time again

Thanks for that brilliant observation! ;)

I just have a knob that has Off, Low, High, and Warm. I have enough
other buttons to push. :-)

Mine does, too. Apparently newer models are digital. I love my crock
pot but don't need it to be complicated. LOL

ours is labelled incorrectly. warm is high.

i don't like it and never wanted one. what i
can do in a crockpot i can do in the oven. just
wastes space for something we use a few times a
year.

That would be a problem to take up with the mfg.

If you don't like it, don't use it. Give it away. I mostly use mine
for making soups and stews. I like to be able to set it and forget it
while I'm doing other things around the house.

I love mine too, and I didn't want digital. Besides the oval one, I
also have one of the oldr round ones too. It's handy for smaller
amounts, although it only has off, low, and high. No "warm".

You might not be wasting space, but you're wasting an incredible
amount of energy using the oven in your range, compared to a slow
cooker.

The last beef brisket I cooked in my slow cooker was probably the
best I've ever made. We like the brisket relative plain, Just a deep
bed of separated onion rings, half a dozen of smashed garlic cloves,
1 bay leaf, and S&P.

in recent years we're not using the oven all that
much other than for baking and for canning. when i'm
cooking i'm usually either there standing over it
or making beans (which is a very low simmer once
they're up to temperature).

I tried the series of button method and it did not work. I tied the holding the cook time button while plugging it in and it worked like a charm. U have had this for years without a manual and never could find info on this!

[constant...@gmail.com]

The person who said to hold the cook time button down while plugging it in was right. It works.

[thechro...@gmail.com]

Thank you! Works like a charm!

Unfortunately for me, that just resets it back to 4 hour high. Holding down the power button while clicking off also makes it cycle through all the settings except Warm, also. The Warm setting is just skipped each time I cycle everything. Nothing I have tried has activated the warm setting

[mimix...@gmail.com]

Worked👍👍👍

[matt...@gmail.com]

I've wondered about this for years until I found this thread! Mine worked only by holding the cook time button while plugging it in.
Thanks, this will come in very, VERY handy!

[michael.a.r...@googlemail.com]

"Hold down cook time while you hit off, then hit cook time again" works! Thanks!!

The manual fails to address that clever hack. Only says it will go to warm automatically after the cook cycle. What if the food is done earlier?

Forgive me for responding to an old message and "Cliff" will never read
it after all these years. Just info for current people.

I have an OLD Rival crockpot (1980s) that still works well.
I use it often.
It's small and has no removable insert.
Just a dial on it with 3 settings - Off, Low and High.

The low setting maintains approx. 190F temp
The high setting is about 210F - just below boiling.

[Michael Trew]

Mine is from the late 70's, I think, also a Rival. Same deal; no warm.
I'd much rather have lo/hi/off, as opposed to some computerized mess
which Cliff was talking about. Keep it simple with a switch. Cycle
between lo/off for "warm".

Cliff is the one who replied to the post from 2007. Mitch is not around
to reply to him.
