Question: Can I use it to cook a small amount of soup/congee, say 1- 2 cups? Will the upper part of the pot crack as it won't get any liquid during the cooking?
Document: I was looking for a small cooker that would look nice on my counter and be ready for me to use often -- this is it. I've already made several delicious dishes in it, including a chicken stew, split pea soup with frankfurters, oatmeal, and pork chops. The first couple of times I did my cooking overnight so I could monitor the heat level. No problem there. Each dish cooked slowly and safely on low, increasing my confidence that I could leave the house while it was on. The size is ideal for one person, and it does truly hold 6 cups of water up to the rim (some cookers don't actually hold as many quarts as they say they do -- I have a couple of those).
The right diet directs sexual energy into the parts that matter. --Barbara CartlandDon't ya just hate dragging out the "big-boy" (aka 3, 5, 6 quart) and slow cooking an enormous amount of food (and ending up with a weeks worth of left-overs no one will ever eat) -- when all you really wanted was to cook a sumptuous intimate dinner, make a creamy little cheese dip, just-enough soup or a sinfully-rich rum sauce? Well, now you can!Proctor Silex 1.5-Quart Round Slow Cooker slow cooker can, seemingly, do everything the 3, 5, 6 quart can (except, perhaps, roast an entire pig) -- is a lot cuter, takes up less space, will get used a lot more -- and doesn't need batteries!
The biggest problem seems to be cooking time. If the oats are cooked for more than about 6 hours without stirring, the "oat lump" thing happens. So we have a cheap timer (the kind you use to turn lights on and off when you're on vacation), set everything up before going to bed (5 parts water to 1 part oats, or thereabouts), and set the timer to turn on at about 1 am. Then the first person to get up in the morning (about 6 am) gives the thing a good stir and turns the temp down to warm, until we're ready to eat at about 7.Not revising my original 2 stars, because I shouldn't need to go to this kind of trouble with a crockpot, but that's our solution if anyone's interested.
I use this cooker to make real Irish/Scottish oatmeal. 1 part steel cut oats; 1 part 1/2 and 1/2, and three parts water. Mix and let cook on low overnight (no salt while cooking). Best oatmeal you have ever had.
!It's the perfect size for 2-3 chicken breast halves, a small pork roast or a pork tenderloin or two, a nice small pot of soup, etc. You should get enough for a meal today plus leftovers for a couple of additional meals.Clean up is a breeze with the removable crock, and the exterior of the unit cleans just fine with a damp cloth. The small footprint allows for out-of-the-way placement on the countertop for cooking, and easier storage.I'm an older adult grad student, and this little cooker is going to get a lot of use this winter while I'm working on my thesis.
I bought this small pot for slow cook congee. The amount of food is just right for family of two.
I have a big oval crock pot that I use when I am cooking for family, but if I only want to cook a little something this is the one I use. I like to put steel cut oatmeal on to cook at night and it is ready when I get up in the morning. This is a perfect size crock pot for someone who lives alone as well. I can't say enough good things about it.
I use this little crock pot to cook steel-cut oats overnight. My family's favorite recipe... first, spraythe crock with cooking spray for easy clean-up. Then, add 1 cup steel-cut oats,1 stick of cinnamon, handful of raisens, 3 cups milk, and 1 cup water. Cook on Low for 5-7 hrs, overnight.Then, throw dirty crock into dishwasher and you are good to go! Our family of four just loves it!
I bought this because I needed a small crock pot, with a capacity of no more than 6 cups, to use for making infused oils for hair & skin treatments. I also needed one with 3 temp. settings, not just the usual High & Low. This pot holds 1 1/2 quarts & you can set the temp. to High, Med or Warm. There's no auto-shutoff or programming feature, which was fine for my purposes. For far, I've used it to simmer a bunch of herbs in coconut oil for 36 hrs.
I just bought this little crockpot because I am downsizing and needed a crockpot that was more suited to meals for 1 or 2 people. I have only used it once and that was to cook steel cut oatmeal. It was amazing to get up this morning and have hot oatmeal ready to eat. Before I went to bed, I LIGHTLY buttered the inside of the crock, added 4 cups water, 1 cup steel cut oats and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt. I turned it on LOW and when I got up this morning, I had a crock full of excellent oatmeal.
Answer: I have never filled the crock with more than 2 cups of liqud regardles of what I have cookwd and the crock is fine.
