Crock-Pot SCRMTD307-DK 16-Ounce Little Triple Dipper, Silver and Black
How To Use a Crock-Pot
Great for melting chocolate
I bought this intending to use it for melting chocolate coating for dipping cake pops. I'm pleased to say that it works wonderfully for this purpose. I can melt three different kind of chocolate and it doesn't get too hot, which is important when you are dealing with chocolate coating. The crocks are removable which makes for easy cleanup. The crock pot has only the one setting "warm", which was fine for my purposes. It comes with a carrying bag for portability, which was ideal for me because I used it at the county fair to demo cake pop decorating, and I did not have access to a microwave. It was perfect. It's also very sturdy and well made. I'm certain that I will get a lot of use out of this.

I HATE to eat hot food that's gone cold. I mean, I really hate it. It makes me gag. It makes me queazy.
I also just finished reading A.J. Jacobs' book "Drop Dead Healthy" -- and 2 of the easiest suggestions to implement (to eat less and get more nutrients out of the food you eat) had to do with eating slower. uUse a smaller fork/spoon/dish, and chew each bite at least 15-20+ times. And, as it turns out -- this really does slow your eating. But slower eating demands being able to keep the food warm longer.
So the choice is either just put little bits of food on my plate at a time and make ump-teen trips to the stove for more (no WAY I am gonna put big serving bowls on my table and let the food go cold for everybody....)
or
visit the microwave over and over and over and over until all that's left of the food is a hard, greasy and shrivled little lump of over-nuked nothingness.
So I set out last weekend to fix the problem...
Fabulous! $15.99 @ Wally world
I LOVE this thing! It only has one cooking level (ON/OFF). It gets food VERY hot, but not boiling. I have used this along with my new crockpot to have complete meals ready when I get home. Each of these little pots holds 2 cups. For me, it is great for making cassaroles with precooked meat, baked beans, side vegetables, stewed tomatoes, sauces for pasta, au gratin potatoes, on and on! I make my main meal in the large crockpot with a liner(love those) and the side dishes in these. These little crocks fit perfectly in the top shelf of the dishwasher. The lids are said not to be dishwasher safe. I don't see why they wouldn't be top shelf OK in the dishwasher, and I plan to try them in it. Right now, it has been no problem to give them a quick wipe.
