This is the cutest slow cooker to ever exist! I thought it would be amazing to have tons of ready made freezer meals to make meal prep a breeze! These are perfect single serving meals for when you want something homecooked but you don't have the time. I'm pretty obsessed with this little mini crock pot, and it's been amazing for my husband to take to the office!

TLDR: this product is great at cooking meat, (tested with chicken) First off, I usually don’t comment on vids, but due to the controversy of this crock pot I had to weigh in. I got this mini crockpot on Amazon a few days ago. Thought I saw that it was ok to cook but the manual states otherwise, that it’s just a warmer. BUT this vid gave me hope. I tested it out at work the other day and bada bing bada boom perfectly cooked chicken. Great vid and already bought some ingredients to test out the recipes.

I just bought one of these for work to reheat my food, but never actually cooked in them. Now that I found your recipes, I’m definitely going to try making fresh food at work instead of reheating my leftovers. Thanks for sharing. One thing I wish you had added was to see the food turned out after sharing your recipes. I guess I’ll have to try them out myself to actually see how it turns out.

Made most of the dishes, I like them and I’ll be making some again for next week’s office lunch. At my second try I will be cooking the meat first, especially the pork either brown it by frying or put in pressure cooker. Only the meatball is already pre-cooked. I believe the mini crockpot is a food warmer does not really fully cook the meat. Thanks for the recipes.

This is a lunch warmer. Not a mini slow cooker. I wouldn’t recommend cooking raw meat in it. It doesn’t get hot enough. The purpose is to warm up lunch and avoid workplace microwaves or to warm up your already cooked food.

We used a thermometer to double check and it absolutely reached safe temperatures for eating. If it makes you uncomfortable however, you can always check the temp before you eat anything! We’ve been using it for months and it always cooks everything to a safe temp, it often has the habit of cooking a little too hot, you can’t leave your chicken in there all day it disintegrates lol.

You did not share cooking times are you sure this mini crock will cook meat to safe levels?

The time worked just like a regular slow cooker, about 4 hours for frozen raw meat. I used a thermometer to check if it was cooked through and it was! I always do this though, just to be safe! :)

I’m curious on how you are cooking the mini meals in the lunch crockpot? The directions say not to put raw meat in the lunch crockpot.

In my experience, the chicken has always temped out easily in this cooker. If you use common sense and a thermometer you can use this safely. Alternatively, if it makes you more comfortable you can absolutely pre-cook your chicken!

No, it isn’t hard at all I wonder if yours is warped or something?

thought this was just a warmer -- that's what it said on the box -- it actually cooks to a safe temp? are you sure???

I temped it and it reaches 165* easily for my chicken but use your thermometer to check and be safe! You can always precook your meat if makes you more comfortable!

I run it under hot water to loosen it up, but I don’t thaw it completely!

I'm reading that it's just a warmer, not an actual cooker, but looks like you are managing it as a cooker, and others have commented of cooking with it as well... Can you clarify? Thank you. I hope you are recovering nicely, Claire.

So yes, technically it is a warmer but we experimented with it and used a thermometer to make sure the meat reached a safe temperature for eating! It easily gets the chicken to 170* which is definitely safe to eat! When in doubt, check the temp!

just a suggestion. It be very helpful if you showed us how long to thaw it when you take out the freezer, what water temp, cold? Hot? Lukewarm? …. Show us you placing it in the specific slow cooker your talking about, show us which temp to put it on and for how long. And what it’s supposed to looks like when it comes out. Which each meal you showed us how to prep I’m sure each one of those meals have different settings and times. It’s cool you have the meal ideas but you left out all the details we needed. I’m sure each meat takes different times etc. You kinda left us to figure it out after you showed us various meals to prep

While I did make this video to be helpful, it’s also my real life. I did not make these meals for a video I made them for my husband. If you cannot figure out how to use a slow cooker there are more basic videos out there. This warmer has one setting. I don’t check the temperature of the water I thaw my food in, I just run it under water until it softens. None of these have different settings or times. Put it in in the morning, eat it at lunch time. This is a meal prep video, it seems you are in search of a how to use a slow cooker video 👍
