Cooking With A Mini Crockpot
Cooking for two has now become easier with the mini 1 1/2 quart crockpot, slow cooker or crockette, as it is affectionately called. Now you can still cook the meals you love with your crock pot in smaller portions.
When you hear the word crockpot or slow cooker you immediately picture big families sitting down to big hearty meals of beef stew or chicken or even chili for the super bowl party, now families of one or two can take advantage of cooking in a crockpot or slow cooker and still enjoy the benefits of slow cooking while still only making a meal that is just enough for the two of you.
You can even use the mini crockpot to keep your sauces and dips warm. This is great for entertaining or the holidays when you have alot of family and friends visiting. Chocolate or Cheese dips stay warm and don't get hard. The attractive design makes it a welcome addition to your table. Which makes it great for dipping those strawberries. Even better for just the two of you. Mini crockpots come as small as 16 ounces and are just as versatile as the bigger versions.
Mini Crockpots
The crock pot has always been a popular item in the kitchen, now that there are "mini crock pots" the crock pot has grown even more in kitchen use. The smaller crock pot is perfect for the single person, childless couple and the empty nesters allowing them to prepare a meal in the morning, head off to work and after a hard days work have a wonderful hot meal waiting for them.
Since foods cook differently cook books have been published especially for crock pot cooking. So popular are the mini crock pots that there are now even cook books specifically for the mini crock pot. Sometimes when you scale down a recipe it does not come out the same, these recipes are specifically for the mini crock pot.
Mini Crock pots are inexpensive as well compared their bigger versions. The prices vary depending on what size you want, a 16 ounce, 1 quart, 1 1/2 guart, 2 quart and on up...

- Don't really have a favorite but I'm sure my mom enjoys the really big ones (she has several)! There's seven of us living under the same roof and plenty of company (ALL THE TIME)! So she cooks a lot!
