Another reviewer noted one of the frustrating things about this little slow cooker, and that’s that the insert isn’t removable, as it is on some big crock pots. That makes cleaning frustrating. I’ve found a good solution to that – I add a little bit of water to the pot and then insert a large ramekin into the basin. The lid still fits just fine, to keep too much water from evaporating. It turns it into kind of a “double boiler” setup, which buffers the heat and gives me an easily removable bowl of oatmeal in the morning. For a while, I was eating right out of the crock pot, but this solution is much better. Any crusty oatmeal can then just get washed out in the dishwasher and I rarely have to worry about cleaning the small crockpot itself. I love this little appliance – I don’t think anything else would work quite as well for the purpose I use it for. 39 of 42 people found the following review helpful. 42 of 46 people found the following review helpful. You also cannot immerse this in water, so cleaning is a giant pain. That said, it’s GREAT for dips that need to be kept warm, such as my famous ‘chile con queso’. Just put everything together and plug it in. A few hours before a party, cut a 4″ block of Velveeta into 1″ cubes, put in the Lil’ Dipper. Add a few tablespoons of medium Pace Picante. Add 1/3 of a small can of chopped green chiles. For more spice, dribble in the juice from a jar of jalapenos. To thin it out, you can add cream, half and half, or milk. Or even water (but that will dull the taste). Serve with your favorite torilla chips. You can also make this in the microwave if you need to make something ‘in a hurry’. I wouldn’t recommend putting this on a dining table, as you’d need an extension cord, and kids could trip over it and burn themselves (heck, I guess at some parties, adults could, too!) but a buffet or counter against the wall would be fine. |
