Answer 4

you can always do fondue in the crockpot. Or those "lil smokies" sausages everyone loves. Or warm up a really good dip in there, like, broccoli & cheese or a favorite of your guests! You can always buy frozen apps. like wings that only take a few minutes to warm in the oven! Good luck and have fun!
