Country households have two crockpots. One crockpot, “the little crockpot,” is stored in a kitchen cabinet and is used on a regular basis to prepare chili, stews, soups and deer meat. The little crockpot can also be used to create liquid cheese by melting Velveeta.
The other crock pot, “the big crockpot,” is kept in a storage closet and is used to transport and warm “covered dishes” for special occasions such as potlucks (ham balls), ice cream socials (brownies) or graduation parties (meatballs). Keeping your covered dishes warm with the crockpot will ensure that attendees of the special occasion “go on and on” about your delicious dish.
“Serving line crockpots” are never owned by individuals but rather are jointly owned by church congregations and 4H clubs. Anyone may use the device for no cost provided they know who used it immediately before them. The serving line crockpot is used almost exclusively for serving pulled pork at wedding receptions or concession stands.
