My Rival crockpot has a metal band around the top that conducts heat and has managed to burn our whole family at least once. I wrote to them and they suggested I mail it back and send photos of my 2 year old's burns, but I lost interest at that point, which I assume they intend.
The pot is not defective, it was simply designed in such a way the the silver band gets hot enough to cause burns. I still use it, albeit more carefully but I wonder if other brands are like this and why they make the Rival with this known design flaw.

Why would you allow a two year old near a hot, electrical appliance in the first place? Goomba

Exactly my first question.
My second thought is, my Rival doesn't have a metal band around the top, not even the one that is 15 years old. In what century was the thing made?!

Devices that cook food typically get hot on several surfaces. You're best not to touch those surfaces that get hot.
Deal with it.
I have the crockpot with the textured metal band (circa 1978). I have never had a problem with it, though it does it get hot.

Yeah, it's a cook pot, cook pots get hot... I wonder who's smarter, dumb john rodan or the two year old.

In the 21st century, Jill. My replacement Rival is only a couple of years old and has the metal band. I have to agree, though, that you need to keep any toddler (and anybody else, for that matter)from touching hot surfaces.
I was drunk on grain alcohol at the time. Maybe you can enlighten us with some quotes from Parenting Magazine, tool.

Holy [censored]. A cooking utensil that gets hot enough to burn????
What is the world coming to? What the hell is a two year old doing near a cooking utensil? Next thing you know, you'll be complaining that if a two year old pulls on the electrical cord he could get doused with a gallon of hot liquid.
I guess that's my point. When I plug in my nearly new crockpot, the entrie unit stays cool enough to touch, giving one a sense that the thing is safe enough to have on the counter. The aluminium inner pan conducts heat away from the element and causes a half inch band around the upper part of the pan to become hot enough to burn. If the aluminium did not wrap around the outer enamaled steel shell, it would not cause burns as it does.
My impression is that this is a common design for Rival crockpots, or no?
Back to parenting advice, my two year old also clobbered his forhead on the coffee table, should I strip my home of tables? If so, where do I put my crockpot?

Possible solutions:
1) Take the crock pot off the coffee table and put on the kitchen counter out of the kid's reach.
2) Stop getting soused when you're supposed to be watching the kid.
3) Contact manufacturer and request replacement of defective kid.
