Choosing the right crock pot

You as a consumer need to choose an appropriate crock pot/slow cooker for your cooking needs and family size. Whether you are a singe parent,a college student,married with kids, or simply don't have the time to cook for hours after a long day at work, the slow cooker is a wonderful convenience.Features and sizes vary, so if you're not sure which crock pot is best for you,then its time to do a little research.

There are many different styles of slow cookers, but you really need to choose the right size that fits your needs. Size does matter. You would not want to put a 1 pound pork roast in a 8.5 quart slow cooker. Slow cookers will not break your bank account either. You can purchase a very nice crock pot from 10.00$ to 45.00$. I recommend a crock pot that you can take the inner pot out for easy cleaning. Most you will find are dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup quick and easy.

As far as choosing the right size a 1-2 quart slow cooker will be good for 1 person or 2 people with smaller portions. A 3-6 quart slow cooker would feed 3 people, up to 6 people depending on serving size.

Do a little research and you will be cooking some great dishes in no time. The hardest part is finding a slow cooker/crock pot that fits you best. Cooking you will find out is the easy part. Good luck on your search.
