The Ultimate Secret Of Pressure Cookers

Crock-Pot Double Dipper Warmer Slow Cooker


Brand: Crock-Pot
Model Number: Not Given

This model isn't typical in any way. Crock-Pot itself still classifies this as a
Slow cooker, so I will too, although exactly how you define this version is
debatable. Basically, the idea is to use slow cooker technology to cook and
The slow cooker has two configurations, which are just off and on.
Depending on the concept, you'd expect the on setting to essentially imply keep
warm. Instead, it actually cooks food, making it less than efficient for its
intended purpose. But as a slow cooker, this version could be
Interesting, especially if you were cooking really small side dishes. But
Personally, I'd just stick to a typical small slow cooker instead.
Hamilton Beach Party Crock
Brand: Hamilton Beach
Model Number: 33410

This slow cooker is unusual from start to finish, even in its design . To
Begin with, the pot itself is cast iron cookware and it basically sits on a heating
base. So, this does not function just like a normal slow cooker. The model
Also comes with another base which allows you to keep food warm without
The slow cooker being plugged in. That base really relies on a tealight
candle.
Visually, the item really does look good. However, the substance and way
That you cook do imply that some recipes may not turn out the same.
Somewhat surprisingly, the product does get pretty good reviews,
While it may not work for all, this slow cooker could
Be appealing for some uses and scenarios.

Brand: VitaClay

Size: 2 quarts
The VitaClay brand targets people who aren't confident about using metal
pots. Thus, you have a clay fit rather than a metal one. Theoretically, this
Means that there is not any prospect of lead contamination and many people do feel
The pots are safer. In this particular case, the model also has the ability to
Make yogurt, so there are the common configurations of high, low and away, along with
An extra one for yogurt.
However, there are some issues with VitaClay. One is the price, which is
Higher than a conventional slow cooker of the exact same size. Another is the
durability. Typically, VitaClay containers tend to be less durable than regular slow
Cooker pots, so they can break more easily.
Crockpot 3.5-Quart Hook Up Entertaining System
Brand: Crock-Pot
Model Number: SCCPMD3-CH

Visually, this slow cooker looks quite different than what you might expect.
Personally, I like the visual appeal but that is not really what is interesting.
Basically, you can get 1-quart,

2-quart and 3.5-quart versions of this slow
Cooker and they are part of a connectable system. This means that you can
Connect various slow cookers together, making an efficient system for parties
Or for cooking multiple dishes at the exact same time.
As a slow cooker, the model has the basic options for high and low, along with
a keep warm setting. So, the main advantage may be the ability to connect
Multiple slow cookers, but in their own, the version is still a good option for
slow cooking. Additionally, the cost is very reasonable for 3.5 quarts and
Customer testimonials suggest that these work really well.
Bella Connectable Entertaining Slow Cooker System
Brand: Bella
Model Number: BLA14013
Size: 2.5 Quarts
This is a unique setup from Bella because although each slow cooker in the
System has a 2.5 quart capacity, but is able to be connected and cook
Simultaneously to other cookers. Those cookers of course need to be one of
The Slow Cooker Entertaining System, but it does add a lot of versatility to
How you use these miniature slow cookers. You can purchase each cooker
separately, or as part of a 2-piece set. You can also add more dividers later
on.
Each cooker connects via a slide-in locking attachment on the side of the slow
cooker. That means that you can run many cookers off of only one plug. This is a
Great setup for entertaining, especially if you're serving multiple sides or dips
In a buffet style dinner.
I also experimented with cooking a little dessert using these versions. The
Baked dessert also much too long to cook, so I wouldn't advise making
Breads or cakes using a mini slow cooker. It takes too long to make a large
Enough portion -- unless you're looking for a single serving in which case this
would probably work.
