I don't think any have, because the idea is to set it and forget it. You
don't cook your food before hand, so it shouldn't be hot. If you cook it
before putting in the crock pot, then it just gets over-cooked. I would put
my raw food into my mini crock the night before, the next day, I'd put the
crock
into the pot and plug it in. I didn't get sick and my veggies weren't
wilted or soggy.
