Crock-Pot® Hook Up™ Connectable Entertaining System review
The Crock-Pot Hook Up Connectable Entertaining System is perfect for cooking your Thanksgiving or Christmas meals. It is perfect for any get together where you need to cook more than one recipe at a time in a crock-pot. They come in a variety of sizes. There are three sizes to choose from: 2-1 quart, 2 quart and 3 ½ quart. You can use each size alone or connect all three together and cook 4 different recipes. You can connect up to six of the units together.
The 2-1 quart system is perfect for warm dips or two side dishes. For easy storage they stack on top of each other.
It's a great system and I will be using it to cook most of my Thanksgiving dinner this year.
