How To Use a Crock-Pot
Great Concept - Needs Improvements
This is very cool design. I love the concept of connectable crock pots, particularly for parties or holiday dinners. Unfortunately, the negatives on this product outweigh the positives for me.
Pros:
1. You can have multiple dishes cooking and/or keeping warm while only needing one outlet.
2. Nice design and easy to clean.
Cons:
1. The cord is supposed to be retractable, but mine doesn't work. I have to force the cord back into the opening, and it doesn't pull back out smoothly.
2. The entire unit gets extremely hot. The base is roughly 10 inches by 12 inches around, and the crock pot sits in the middle. The base gets very hot all over. I sit it on my stovetop, and the base throws so much heat that my stovetop is hot enough to cook on. I would not place this on a table without a potholder or pad underneath the protect the wood. It might not even be safe for some kitchen counters.
3. Because the base gets so hot, I don't think...

Entertaining? This is the cats meow!
You can do slow cooking as well as serving in this. A meal for two, slow cooking two separate dishes at the same time then having the ability to self serve and keep the food warm during the meal. Serving during a get-together, like cocktail wieners in BBQ sauce, and at the same time having a warm con queso or cheese sauce for tortilla chips. Or how about a dinner, using this unit for side dishes and attaching the three and a half qt. unit for the main dish----the possibilities seem endless. There are several different size units available; this unit, two one qt., a three and a half qt., and a two qt.. They all attach together, up to six units, with only one cord to plug in, that saves on table or serving area clutter...I suppose that would be terrific for serving a rather large buffet dinner party. My wife and I are getting on in years and just don't eat like we did in the past...this two unit is just perfect for us. The unit is...
Perfect size for my family of three
Although this crockpot is a little on the small side, I found it to be the PERFECT size for my family of three. Our larger one is too big, causing food to overcook because of all the steam created and the smaller one is more suitable for fondue. This made a nice almost 3 lb roast with carrots and onions. Although I felt it cooked slower that my other ones, that can work out very well if I'm out for the day and don't want foods to overcook (like my older crock pot). The design is beautiful, I love the square even though I do not plan to buy other connectable units.
