Can this crock pot be used to make dill pickles?

Yes, assuming you plan to make them the old fashioned fermented way. Read any Sandor Katz book on fermenting. You will also find his videos on YouTube. He is considered the fermentation expert.

Technically I think they're called half-sours but... Yes - the pot makes very good pickles.

Absolutely!! Works great! I have always put in foods that are left overs, and canned soups. I get to work by 8:00 and its always warm by 12:00. Though, one time I forgot to turn it on, so I realized it by 11:00, and at 12:30 the food was well warmed. I love this crock pot!

So long as you sear your meat prior to placing it in the roaster it should work. Personally I use my crock pot for post roasts because the roaster is so large. Just remember you can't use cooking bags in the roaster either.

Yes you can, however I haven't made any yet. You might want to buy the "Good Health Clay Pot" cook book, Hedi Levine. It has all the recipes you need and the temperatures you should be using for this pot (it differs from regular pots). Hope this helped.

I've only used it to reheat stews, chili, soups, etc. It gets pretty hot, but I don't know if I would cook in it. My big crock pot has a warm, low, and high setting. This little pot just has one temp, so it would be hard to control, and the portions would be small, so it would be a pain. I'd stick to a big recipe in a large crock pot and take individual servings in the small one.

yes you can warm up fridge stuff. Add a cup or so of either water or broth to whatever you are warming up though.Crock pots need the liquid to work properly, otherwise food will dry out and burn while heating.

Yes, but be careful about using ceramic crock pots. Some leech small amounts of lead into your food. Stainless crock pots are safer.

This is designed for pots and pans and lids. I don't believe it would work for a crockpot .

I have found them very reliable. Don't know about crock pot since i have used only on lamps but since it is rated for 15 amps, it should be ok.

I would say yes because I have used them in a 6 quart and had a lot of excess over so I am sure they would work great and I love mine I cooked a large Pork lion had to cut it in two pieces and when it finished Just picked the bag up with all the juice inside and crock pot was clean just cleaned up so easy.

I ONLY use it for frozen food, and it works beautifully! I bought a bunch of extra inserts on the crock pot website and I will cook a big batch of something and divide it up into the individual containers. I then get it out of the freezer in the morning and put it in the crockpot still frozen at work. I put the container in at about 8:00 and it is hot and ready at noon.

you can use a crock pot and mix the solution per directions. BUT, once you use this crock pot, you can not use it again for Food. Please remember this. hope this helps you

No - according to the instruction book, you can only do high-acid canning, such as tomatoes or pickles, and also jelly or jam.This is the same as the type of canning you can do with a hot water bath in an open pot on the stove. The book is very clear that you cannot use this for canning anything else - no vegetables or meats! The book is also very clear that you should ONLY use the 26 recipes included in the book and to not use your own recipes. Very, very limiting!

I would think that you could, but I don't see the point of it. This device is designed for the baking/broiling of meat. It makes it clean-up somewhat easier than a broiler pan. Since the crockpot is already somewhat easier to clean, I don't think that you'd be doing yourself any favors by using the laurel for this purpose.

I gave the baskets as gifts, so never used myself. But, from what I remember, a 9X13 would just barely fit. By small crock pot, I am guessing you mean a 2 -3 quart and that would definitely fit. You might even get the 4 quart one in there. It is not heavily insulated, but should keep something that started out hot, warm for a couple of hours.

Yes, you can remove the crock pots from the unit, but be aware that they are smaller than the average crockpot. This unit works for putting dips or small amounts of soup. It works great for the price that I paid!
