Instead of using the crock pot to cook beans, can I use the "Little Dipper?"

The Little Dipper is a warmer, it is good for warming and low heating. Unless your beans are pre cooked, this warmer will not cook them from raw state. A average crock pot takes hours for cooking dried or fresh beans.
I do not think it would be a good idea as it really is just a 'warmer'.
This container does not have a dial or gauge and heats to only one low temperature.
Here is a comment from their website.
"Little Dipper Warmer portable slow cooker gently heats dips and sauces to warm temperatures."
It can also be used to warm chocolate.
Litle dippers are not a cooker at all but were made to warm up food or keep food warm. They were not designed to cook beans in and would not work at all. You will either need to cook the beans in a crockpot or on the stove first then you can move them to the little dipper to keep them warm when serving them.
It would probably work to warm up canned beans but it wouldn't be warm enough to cook dried ones.
