What Size of Slow Cooker Should I Buy?
The best way to choose the Slow Cooker or Crock Pot that will work best for you, is to consider what you will want to prepare in it.
Are you preparing a crockpot recipe for the whole family? Or are you cooking for just one or two people?
- If cooking just for two or making drinks, use a 4 quart slow cooker.
- For small crockpot recipes like dips, use a 2 quart slow cooker.
- For most family sized crockpot dinner recipes, you will want a 5.5 – 6 quart slow cooker.
- Then for larger items like racks of pork ribs, get a 7 – 8 quart slow cooker.
What Are the Best Meats for Slow Cooking?
You’ll love preparing chicken, pork and beef in your slow cooker.
For chicken, you can use almost any cut. This includes boneless skinless chicken, drumsticks, wings and even whole chickens.

For pork, you’ll find tantalizing crockpot dinner recipes for ribs, pork chops and smokies.
With beef, you can’t go wrong with ground beef, meatballs and a tasty beef chuck roast.
Keep reading for my huge list of chicken, pork and beef slow cooker recipes below.
