do you put water in beneath the crock pots/

We use the mini crocks like a regular crockpot without water. We consider the 3 sections to be individual crockpots that you can use individually or two or three simultaneously. Each unit has a separate control.

I dont think so I bought it for my daughter last christmas. Does it say anything in the directions.

Yes, must have a sauce pan under this steamer insert. The pan will provide the boiling water and steam for the food above, in this steamer insert.

I always seal my lid on, but of you're looking for a thicker consistency you can crock without it sealed. This works best for chili an boils off a lot of excess water. Hope this helps !

No you can not. Put a towel or pot holder down that should keep the table safe from the heat if a very hot dish. I have sat my crockpot directly on the table with no trouble.

I do. And it drains any remaining water in the tray. Keeps them fresh. Make sure you follow instructions given on the container for particular vegetable or fruit.

We clean our weights with hot water and a clean dish cloth, placed in area so they get air .... we lay them in a pie pan in a drawer. Do not leave them in a clean crock ... Because they will get moldy...do not ask how I know! Before we add our veggies to the crock we pour boiling water in the crock to rinse then boiling water over the stones. Hope this helps!

My experience has been that this cup leaks. I would especially say that it would leak through the spout upon temperature change. I put cold milk in the cup, it warms up on the counter and flows out like lava from a volcano. Same goes when it would cool back down. So although I think it would be safe to warm in the crockpot, it may flow out the top.

There are instructions. The instructions don't say anything about adding water. I have used these for quit a while now and love them. I have never added water to the bottom of the pot.

Not unless you allow the water to evaporate from the seal and then leave the contents to rot. It's nothing like the old open crocks. It is completely airtight if you maintain the water seal.

I do. Top rack. I have even added them to boiling soup to help cool. They do wear down so squeeze them to check for leaks.

Sure, I do that all the time. To keep the top pot with food really hot, I boil water in another pot and put it at the bottom. Two stacked pot in the cooker, but only the top one has food.

Fill semi-cold butter in the bell part, making sure that the dish is cold. Fill COLD water up to the line in the cup. When I first use my bell, I tried to fill it after being in the dishwasher, then it would plop down. I believe the trick is the dish must be cold before putting in the butter. Not sure about the temp in the house, unless you are storing in near a heat source. I love my butter-crock!!!

I am not sure. I suppose you could but I don't think you could get enough water in the bottom. You might end up boiling the ones on the bottom. Does that make sence?

Mine has been under my cabinet for over 6 years and no problem. Some times my crockpot sits under it as well.

No. But that allows for the moisture from the clay pot to be absorbed into the food. You need to soak the cooker in cold water for at least 20 minutes prior to putting food into it.

I heat mine with a small crockpot, it is for sauces and this crockpot came with my larger crockpot, works great! Just adjust the amount of water, depending on how hot you want them, the more water, the hotter they seem to get!

fill crock pot with water....you can add oil, like lavender or eucaliptys.... turn on high at least one hour before using. they get nice and hot. I use a silicone SLOTTED spoon to get them out, so I'm not sticking my hands in boiling hot water.
