Rival Crockpot Recipe Manual
I can't remember where I picked up this old manual for a Rival Crockpot. I'm thinking it was at a garage sale.
But I remember being delighted when I found it, because a friend gave me a crockpot. I love to be able to put something in the crockpot before I leave for work, and then come home to dinner already prepared. All I have to do is dish it out.
Sometimes I put a whole chicken in it before I go to bed at night, and let it cook all night long on LOW. Works out great!
I took pictures of the pages of the Rival Crockpot Manual. It's pretty old, but there isn't a copyright date in it that I could find.
On the front cover it says, "Cooks all day while the cook's away." And also says it's for Models 3100, 3101, 3102, 3300, and 3302.
See a larger picture of the cover of the manual. The inside cover has a note from Marilyn Neill. See the back inside cover of other old Rival products. Here's the back cover.
