I did exactly the same as you and everything people are telling you is true.
The Rival cooks too hot, you cannot make it low enough. I even put mine on a
cutting board because I worried about the counter top. It warped the cutting
board. I didn't even care when it quit after less than a year. The
kitchen-aid I bought from amazon cracked during the first use. I got my
money back. The Hamilton- Beach is perfect. You can buy them at amazon or
Target on line.
