Warming up soup in crockpot [duplicate]

I have to take a soup to a party but my kids only like the Pacific brand of tomato soup. I am wondering if it's safe to put in the crock pot to heat up and take it with me. Thanks, Kay

Short answer: yes - the crockpot will heat it sufficiently.

You might find it easier to transport in a sealed container and just use the crockpot to heat/maintain temperature at the party.

However, the time taken for a crockpot to heat up is substantial compared to using a stove-top pan or even a microwave. Crockpots are really designed to slow cook foods, and maintain temperatures for keeping foods warm.

Can you reheat soup in the slow cooker?

If you're considering using a crock-pot to reheat food, you should rethink that plan due to food safety concerns, advises the Mayo Clinic. Slow cookers might not get food hot enough to kill any resident bacteria. Instead, reheat leftovers on the stovetop, or use a microwave or conventional oven.

Can you use slow cooker to reheat?

Can I reheat food that has been cooked in a slow cooker? Yes. You can reheat food that is cooked in a slow cooker but only once. It can be dangerous to reheat food more than once.

Can you leave soup in a crockpot on warm overnight?

However, if you reach 145F within the first hour at the highest setting, then keep it at "warm", and test the temperature after about 30 minutes with an instant-read thermometer and it stays around 140-160F, you'll probably be fine. Personally, I'd test the temperature first by cooking water.
