Use for all holidays and parties. Always a crowd pleaser. Biggest complaint is I wish it was bigger

I really enjoy using this slow cooking set to cook literally everything for my family's daily meal. It's easy to use and to clean. I've tried to cook beef stew, rice congee and pork soup with it and I loved the outcome. The size of these pots is a bit small but it doesn't affect me much. Overall, I would buy it again to gift to family

I make and can a lot of apple butter and I tend to make it in slow cookers. I have dozens of different brands and use them all for various purposes. Someone bought me the Crock-Pot Trio Cook & Serve Slow Cooker about a year ago and I didn't even take it out of the box. Not because I wasn't appreciative but because I had many other slow cookers and it didn't seem needed. This past Thanksgiving, I was cooking for a lot of people, Enough that getting out my larger crock pots wouldn't be practical nor did I have the space. This crock saved the day. I used it for hot chili dips, chocolate and warm cheese dips. I wouldn't use this in everyday life as I find the 1.5 quarts impractical for meals that I cook, but on holidays to serve guests or to do a fondue type display, it's excellent. Time to Heat Heats as quickly as you'd expect a single crock pot. I especially love that there are three knobs so that you can set them individually. There are low, high, and warm settings. Cooking Performance I used this to melt chocolate, cook chili dip, and melt cheese. It did all three amazingly well without burning anything. Ease of Cleaning It is very simple to clean. After it cools, just lift the ceramic from the base, and clean with warm dish soap and water. Dry and put back. Ease of Use All you do is put in your ingredients, turn the dial to where you want it, and you're good to go. Design It has a very nice unimposing design. It doesn't take up too much space.

We bought the Crock Pot Trio Cook & Slow Serve Cooker for church gatherings on weekends-little dinners we frequently have of 20 people or so, and we've enjoyed it very much. If we could find one with a bit larger capacity I think we could easily use both. Time to Heat We are very impressed with how well and how fast it heats; in fact we have to pay attention to it and try to monitor the heat level, because it can get too hot to serve! Cooking Performance Its best of you use this Crock Pot when you have a lot of time to wait for it to cook-it cooks more evenly and thoroughly. Ease of Cleaning It isn't hard to clean, but as with other Crock Pots I advise getting it done fast before food cakes on. It doesn't have many frustrating nooks and crannies that caked on food gets stuck in, and that's a bonus. Ease of Use It seems a monkey could use it-no complaints in this. Design I wish there were multiple sizes available, but the overall design is very straightforward, intuitive, common sense. Durability I don't believe we have dropped it on the floor yet but so far there are no indications that it is breaking down in any way-it does have some scratches on it from steel wool cleaning.

I bought this Crock-Pot Trio about two years ago around the holiday season. It has been perfect for entertaining and keeping food warm for casual parties. I was so excited to find it since in the past I have struggled to keep food warm/at a serving temperature during gatherings when you don't want to constantly be working in the oven/on a stove top. This crock pot has three small pots, each with a separate temperature control. There is also a feature that allows you to rest the lid while serving food which is very handy. I have found the temperature control to be accurate - although if you have something on a high setting next to something on a low setting, you will find some heat transfer (to be expected, really, due to the design). However, since the point of this particular crock pot is to keep multiple dishes warm at one time, it is rarely, if ever, an issue. I would absolutely recommend this Crock-Pot and I have actually purchased one as a gift for my sister, who also does a lot of casual entertaining.

I really enjoy this product. It is especially useful when you are having guests for a holiday meal like Thanksgiving when there are a lot of hot food options. It is especially useful for things like warm dips and soups. I've also used it for mashed and sweet potatoes. It keeps things evenly heated without burning or drying things out. Time to Heat It does take longer than I would like to heat, but once it does get to the right temperature, it keeps everything evenly warms. Ease of Cleaning The only down side is that I do find it a bit difficult to keep this clean. It can take a while to wash and clean, especially if stuff gets dribbled on it during use. Ease of Use It doesn't get much easier than just plugging in the unit and putting the food in there. Design I like the sleek design and color of this unit. Durability This product is not something that you keep out all the time, so it needs to hold up to packing and unpacking, putting on shelves, etc. For the most part, this holds up really well. I've used it many times without any issues indicating that it was suffering from wear and tear. The box it was in also fell off our storage shelf and I was worried that the unit would be damaged, but thankfully, even after a fall from a shelf, it held up very well.

I bought this last fall to use for the holidays. I make several dips and warm appetizers that I need to keep warm for hours at a time. This neat little piece of equipment came in handy! Each separate crock pot has it's own heat setting so perfect if your stuff needs to be on different settings. Each one has it's own glass lid as well. I think they are each one or two quart, while not large, they are big enough for dips and smaller food items. The outside housing unit stayed pretty cool so leaving out on the table was not a problem. They pots are dishwasher safe too. Time to Heat Took about five minutes or so to get warm. Cooking Performance Cooked wonderfully and evenly. I had no hot spots or cold spots in my food. Ease of Cleaning The three pots are dishwasher safe. Ease of Use Put your food in and turn it on! Easy as that. Design It is small enough to leave out on the table while eating and not get in the way. Durability I had fifteen people, including kids, eating out of this and it did not have one scratch on it from the spoons scraping in the pots.

I bought this crock-pot trio about a year ago when we had a large family party coming. Usually we have two or three crock pots of food going at one time and they are scattered through out the kitchen to reach the electrical outlets. This trio crock-pot has a nice long electrical cord. I thought that this one would be a nice one to get after reading the reviews on it and the fact that there would be three crock-pots in one. It heats the food up quickly and stays hot. It worked out great for me because we had one for chili, one for sausage and peppers and one for meatballs. Each crock-pot has it's own temperature control so you can either set it on warm or as hot as you want it to be. the pots are very easy to clean up as well. The cooking performance is wonderful, just put in your ingredients, turn it on and let it cook all day. It is more expensive than a regular crock pot but is certainly worth the money. It is simple to use, has a nice design and so far is very durable. I definitely recommend this crock-pot.

I never, ever thought I'd have need for a slow cooker trio, but I broke down and purchased one for the holidays and I haven't looked back since! The first time I used this I actually used it to serve warm beverages at a party. I filled each of the cookers with a beverage (hot buttered rum, mulled cider, and hot chocolate) and kept it on low and everything was the perfect temperature when everyone arrived and stayed at the perfect temperature throughout the party. This was also amazing for Thanksgiving. I was able to use each cooker for a different side dish and use the adjustable controls to keep each one at the correct temperature. It kept everything perfect during the entire meal and each veggie was the ideal temperature for those who wanted seconds. Of course, three separate cookers means three times the dish washing, but it's totally worth it for the convenience of being able to make side dishes ahead of time and get them out of the way yet have them at the perfect serving temperature when I needed them. This is a big bulky so you have to have the room to put it - preferably somewhere out of the way while you are working on other things. Overall, I definitely recommend this unique, high quality, cooker set.
