Kitchen Gadgets - Crockpots

Let me start by saying, I am not looking to buy a new crockpot.  I have two that I really like.  But every where you look there is a new crockpot.  They have some new features.  And they come in all sizes.

I just adore the little Crock-pot Lunch Warmers.  They come in three colors.  If I had seen these before Christmas, I might have considered picking one up for my husband's work truck.  Who knows he might get one next year.

Here are some of the features:

• 20 ounce capacity
• Removable food vessel to easily transport food to and from home and for easier cleaning
• Easy-travel lid for portability
• Dishwasher-safe removable vessel and lid
• Cool to the touch
• Cord management

I also like the Double Dipper Warmer.  This would be great for tailgating.  But it would only be good for warming things up so I can't see me using it often.  I wish I could just get the bowl to fit my current slow cooker.

Here are the features:

• Two 16 ounce compartments
• Removable oval stoneware
• Warms dips and sauces

If I was considering a new crockpot, I would have to look seriously at the Hamilton Beach Set N Forget.  I love the probe option and the timer, plus it has the clip-down lid for traveling.






I am not recommending any of these crock-pots.  I just saw them and thought I would post what I found out there on the world wide web.  It is amazing how many different crock-pots there are out now.

I have some recipes to share with you.  I haven't tried most of these, but they do have some possibilities.
