            Hi Lenna ~ this one doesn’t work well if doubling. I’d suggest using two crock pots side by side if you’re able to.

        Hi Jenny ~ I haven’t tried doubling it yet. It should work as long as you use a large Crockpot. I made the original in a 4 quart, so I’d suggest using a 7 quart if you have one. Hope that helps! If you try doubling it, let me know how it goes!

      I’m not sure if mine is a crockpot or a steamer. Does it work the same? It’s a round machine, but it just goes from warm to cook.

        I have about 6 or more crockpots. I’ve never seen one with warm and cook so you probably have a steamer. Just guessing because that’s the one item I don’t have 😳

      Would a round crockpot work instead of oval. Oval crockpots are 6-8 serving. Round around about 4 servings.

        Hi Angela ~ yes… a round crockpot would work fine as well! I used a 4 qt oval to make this, so pretty similar in size to the common round ones. Hope that helps! 😉
