Can food be served in these crocks?

I think it would be safe - I believe they are made of the same material as the LC stoneware pans - but they're pretty tall to serve food out of.

Sure, but I don't think they're meant to be baked in. I don't know, ask the manufacturer.

I have no idea. You'll need to ask the crock maker. I would think so, though.

The crock is glazed inside and out, so I don't see why you couldn't use it to make sauerkraut. I wouldn't hesitate to use it as I do any of my other kitchen crocks.

The crock is glazed inside and out. I don't think you will have a problem using it for tea. I'm sure it will stain just like your teacups but bleaching occasionally should do the trick. Enjoy!

The crock is about 3-1/2"-4" deep. I think you would be able to dip something with ears.

I gave them to my sister. I can ask her then get back to you. But they are small. I bought two sets to use on my Food Trailer. But at best you only get two serving per cruet. Too small for use café or even for a family to use.

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 have not attempted but they appear to be well made crocks I will probably attempt when I make French Onion Soup next.

As it is thin guage metal, it will flex in the middle. An electric skillet would spread the load over a larger portion and might be ok, I would think a crock pot would be a lot of weight in a small area. One option would be to place a cutting board under the crock pot, and that would solve your problem. Over-all we love out cover, really dresses up the stove.

Yes, but the inside peeled off. I had to use crock pot liners. West Bend just send me a complete new one. I'm still using liners because even gentle cleaning can damage the inside.

Yes, and the crock is not covered by their limited warranty. Probably because it cracks so easily.

Yes, they work just fine. That is what I have at home. I have no complaints and I think if you are going to cook something on high temp for hours-use a crock pot.

Absolutely, also be sure to try making pickles in this crock! Contains probiotic bacteria (very healthy) & tastes better than store bought.

Yes, you can remove the crock pots from the unit, but be aware that they are smaller than the average crockpot. This unit works for putting dips or small amounts of soup. It works great for the price that I paid!

Depends on what you use the crock for. If you are making Kraut....no lid, weights and a cloth cover so that oxygen can get to the brine. If storing food that needs a cover then yes.

Yes you can. I used them for a party and served turkey chili. the size is a good size.

As is understand it, the point of butter crocks or butter bells is to be able to keep butter at room temperature so the question of microwaving it would not come up. Put a bit of water on the on bottom and the butter on the top and you're good to go.
