Ils bought us a 1 5 litre slow cooker not sure if its big enough and thinking of returning it to get a bigger one.
What size crock pot do i have.
You want the food to fill up most of the space not all and not too little of the cooking space.
An extra small 1 5 to 2 quart model is ideal for simply warming small dishes like party dips.
These sizes are popular among regular sized families and can accommodate various recipes.
Small crockpots under 3 quarts crockpot comes in different sizes and shapes from 1 5 quarts to 12 quarts with others in between.
The standard size of a crockpot is between five and six quarts.
The 1 5 quarts to 3 quarts are perfect for small cooking like for a single person or two.
If you use a huge 6 qt crock pot for say 2 3 lbs of pork butt then your results would be gross.
I wont eat anything from a slowcooker myself but want to make dh meals and freeze.
Plus you ll have enough left in case someone wants a second helping or if you need to carry lunch to work the next day.
Manufacturers recommend filling a slow cooker at least half full and no more than two thirds full.
