Holiday Parties
Holidays are a wonderful time for entertaining, but preparing traditional favorites can tie up your oven. Using a slow cooker helps keep
dishes hot and ready to serve without juggling in and out of the oven. Choose from three heat settings on the Party Crock™ electric
base to cook on HIGH or MEDIUM, or keep foods warm on LOW.
