This works great. It heats up quickly and the crocks hold more than you would think. I made a taco bar luncheon and it was great for the refried beans and cheese dip. It can get pretty hot. I have also made one meal for me and another for my husband in it.
This is a nice crockpot for hot dips. I bought buffalo chicken and spinach artichoke dips at Sam's Club and they fit perfectly in the crocks and stayed perfect temperature on warm. This will be very handy for future entertaining.
