Does Food Taste Better in a Slow Cooker?

Absolutely! Whether you choose a ham, a beef roast or chicken, using your Slow Cooker is a great choice.

That’s because when you prepare meats or soups in a slow cooker at a low temperature, it will almost always taste better. The longer cook time will help your meat be more tender, and it will give your soups a richer, more developed flavor.

Can a Crockpot Be Too Big?

Yes! If you’re preparing a smaller meal for just 2, a larger Crockpot may actually cook your food more slowly. Also, you don’t want to overfill a smaller Crockpot. Typically, you only want to fill a Crockpot about half way.

Here’s a quick guide for choosing the right sized Crockpot for your needs:

2 quart Slow Cookers for Crockpot Dip Recipes.
4 quart Slow Cookers for meals for 1 or 2, and for hot drinks.
5.5 – 6 quart Slow Cookers for most larger family meals. (like 4 pieces of chicken and homemade soups)
7 – 8 quart Slow Cookers work best for larger items like pork ribs.
