Let the cooker preheat before you transfer your food into the pot so your food doesn't cool down. The "Keep Warm" setting keeps the food near 170F (77C) for however long you leave it on. Slow cookers work best with wetter foods, like soups, stews, sauces, or mashed potatoes. Your food may continue cooking slightly or it may change in texture the longer you leave it in the pot. Once you turn the power off, you can safely keep the food warm in the pot for up to 2 hours. Preheat your oven to the lowest setting and transfer your hot food into an oven-safe pan. Set the pan on the middle rack and keep it in the oven for up to 2 hours. Check the temperature of your food with a thermometer after 20 minutes to make sure it is above 140F (60C). If not, turn up the temperature slightly. Fill a large pan halfway full of water and set it on a medium-low setting on the stove.

Remove the cap on the fuel with a blunt object, such as a spoon. Place the chafing fuel container underneath the catering dish before you light it with a multipurpose butane lighter.

Chafing fuel can be purchased in a gel or wick form. Both will work the same way.

Rinse the grapefruit and pull off or cut away the peel. Hold the grapefruit over a bowl and use a knife to cut the segments of grapefruit from in between the white pith. Put the segments into the bowl with the juice that drips down. If you want to garnish the smoothies with fresh grapefruit, reserve 2 to 3 segments. Put the segments with the juice into the blender and add 2 cups (490 g) of frozen pineapple chunks, 1/3 cup (94 g) of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of coconut oil, and a 1/4 inch (6 mm) knob of peeled fresh ginger. If you don't have Greek yogurt, you can use any type of yogurt you have on hand. Keep in mind that if you use a low-fat or non-fat yogurt, the smoothie won't be as thick and creamy. Put the lid on the smoothie and turn it on to blend. Keep blending the smoothie until the frozen pineapple and ginger are incorporated. If the smoothie is looking too thick, pour in your choice of milk or non-dairy milk to make it as thin as you like. Remove the lid from the blender and pour the grapefruit detox smoothie into 2 serving glasses. Consider garnishing the smoothies with the reserved grapefruit segments, granola, or berries. Serve the smoothies immediately. Refrigerate leftover smoothies in an airtight container. Store them for up to 24 hours and blend or stir them before drinking them.
