Crock-Pot SCRTD305-BS 1-Quart Triple Dipper Food Warmer with Portable Lid, Stainless Steel
How To Use a Crock-Pot
Great for parties
What a wonderful idea, for a food warmer. When I stumbled across this, I wondered why no one had thought of it before. Great for cocktail parties or family get togethers where you want to have multiple hot dishes or dips in an easy to use single appliance. Since each crock holds only one quart, it is rather limiting for dinner side dishes such as green beans, or soups, etc. But it is perfect for dips and hors d'ouerves such as nacho cheese dip, bbq meatballs, spinach dip, etc.
Features include a separate on/off "warming" heat control for each crock, which makes it handy for choosing to either heat a crock or to use it for something cold. When I used it, I pre-heated my dips in a microwave and used the triple dipper as a "holding tank" warmer. And there is no problem with cold crocks next to "warmed" crocks since the heating elements are isolated to the crock's insert surfaces.
Another very handy feature is that this has a built in lazy susan, allowing users to...

A Big Crock
Pros:
Quick to heat (1 hour from cold)
Convenient station for party
Nice sized crocks (1 bag of lil'smokies, etc)
Rotates in place
Cons:
Very large, won't fit in any standard cupboards
Too hot, in 2 hours water was up to 180F.
Bottom Line:
If you entertain small groups with hot dips and foods frequently, this might be worth while. However, I find it awkward to store, and despite warnings that you shouldn't cook your food in the crocks, it heats water near to boiling (too hot for most dips). It is definitely hot enough to cook your food, and it only has one setting "warm".
I would rather use a couple small crocks that will fit in cupboards, and if I leave the house with it, I would try to limit it to one crock anyway, so 3 is a little overkill.
