Two Dip Crock Cooking

You can get a crockpot here and crockpot liners here.

If you want more dip than you have space for, then create a barrier with foil that runs across your slow cooker. Then, use a slow cooker liner to keep your two different dips separated.

Melt Chocolate for Dipping or Baking

Melt chocolate in your slow cooker with these easy instructions.

Reduce Condensation

Hate the condensation that builds up on the lid? Place a towel over the crock, under the lid.

Line Slow Cooker With Foil

Out of liners but want to avoid cleanup? Simply line your crock with foil.

Cook Main Dish & Side Together

Making meat and baked potatoes or corn on the cob and want them to cook at the same time? Wrap in foil!

Warm Your Bread or Tortillas

Making sandwich or taco fillings in your slow cooker? You don't need to heat up the stove to warm your buns or tortillas. Place them on a glass pie plate and place that on top of the filling inside the slow cooker, cover, and let warm for a few minutes.

Brown Meats First

For added flavor, brown or sear meats first.

Get Rid of Stubborn Stains 

Although cleaning is not usually difficult, you can get rid of stubborn stains with white vinegar and baking soda.
