What Should I Look For in a Slow Cooker?

The best way to decide which Slow Cooker or Crock Pot will work best, is to purchase one sized for your needs.

  • 2 quart Slow Cookers work great for making Crockpot Dip Recipes.
  • 4 quart Slow Cookers are ideal if you are just preparing meals for 2…. or you want to make hot drinks.
  • If you plan to prepare meals for a family of 4 or 5, consider a 5.5 – 6 quart Slow Cooker.
  • If you love to make pork ribs, go big and get a 7 – 8 quart Slow Cooker.

What Can You Use a Crockpot For?

You’ve probably already guessed that Crockpots are a really convenient and easy way to prepare Chicken, Pork and Beef.

Well guess what, Crockpots are also the perfect small appliance to use when making pasta, vegetables and desserts, too!  You won’t believe how many incredible dishes you can make with just 5 ingredients!

Are Cheap Slow Cookers Any Good?

Yes they are.  Slow Cookers are generally very inexpensive.  Unless you decide to pay more for premium features like a searing function, timer, warming function or WiFi.

As a Frugal Girl, I really appreciate owning such a handy kitchen appliance that is so inexpensive.

    Slow cooked swiss steak is one of my favorite recipes to make because I can flour and season the steaks and refrigerate them overnight. The next morning, I just put all the ingredients in the slow cooker, and I have a delicious dinner waiting when I arrive home from work

    Just came across these fabulous recipes. I’m a traveling consultants who live 5 of 7 days in a hotel. I would love it you all could do some recipes for those of us living in hotels without a microwave or refrigerator. BTW, I don’t get to choose the hotel I have to lodge in. Thanks.
