Dinner Party
Effortless entertaining is possible when you have a plan. Choose entrees and side dishes that can be done ahead of time. Prepare food
in advance, keep the crock in the refrigerator, and place on the electric cooking base when it's time to reheat. For stylish serving, place
the crock on the tealight stand to keep warm at the table.
