Rival Crockpot Lid Explosion

Cheese bomb

One of two things is happening. Either terrorists have infiltrated the kitchen appliance industry or Rival (a big crock-pot maker) just makes a dangerous product.

Last night I was making rotel dip for some guests. About two hours in the cooking, the glass lid on the crock-pot just exploded. Hundreds of pieces of glass--big and small--were all over my kitchen. I'm too brain dead to tell the whole story right now. Here are some pictures of the aftermath.





One of two things will come out of this. Either Rival gives me a new crock-pot or you'll watch RER become a part-time campaign against Rival and its ownership.

Update: Rival, indeed, provided me with a new crockpot. It has survived many a cooking session without explosion.
