Slow cookers are one of the cheapest means to make coming home to steaming hot meals an easy thing. Large slow cookers are great - but what about those small ones... what use are they?

Sheesh. How big is big, and how small is small? WHAT SIZE IS EACH OF THOSE POTS? My crockpot is small and so basic it doesn't have its capacity listed. I came here to see if it could be identified.

I have a 1.5 Ltr Slow Cooker with an "Auto" (very difficult to find) setting, which cooks on "High" for 2 hours and then switches to "Low." Most Slow Cookers seem to have "Low, High, Warm" settings....not really for me. I usually leave it on for 8 hours, in total and the results are usually amazing. I've become a dab hand at "dump and go" recipes, especially when you can buy small bags of finely chopped, prepared veg, add meat/beans/browned, sliced sausages a "Casserole Mix," and or, a tin of Oxtail/Tomato/Cream of Mushroom Soup and seasonings and voila, come home to a very tasty casserole, which usually yields 3 good sized portions. 1 for dinner and 2 for the freezer. I use it, at least 2x per month and wouldn't be without it!

small slow cookers are great in situations where you have to pay close attention to how much energy you're using, like living aboard a boat or in an rv or any other vehicle. the little ones use less than 200 watts, the big ones use as much as 600 watts or more for the really big ones.

Every yr i get a new crockpot. I use the one from the previous yr for my steamer/humidifier for the front rm. It's the BEST at that! I found using my crock pot as a humidifier by desperation. We had no heat one yr and faced a Chicago vortex. Horrid horrid times. We used the dryer for heat but that was ineffecrive, i thought about my room as a child when we had hot steam humidifiers, and bammm the solution was found under my sink. I've used it yrly since. This yr my 4qu manual is my front rm streamer and my new cooking crockEr is a pretty silver 3qu manual. Always manual. Never auto. I don not trust the electronic panel that is so close to the moisture of the cooking. Nope. M. Il. 🇺🇸

You're not stating the sizes? Like 3, or 4 quarts etc.?

My biggest slow cooker is 8 quart; my smallest is 1.5 quart. I have a piece of pork tenderloin cooking right now in the little one with some veggies. Being single I use the small one much, much more often and it does just as well.
