We're buying ILs a crock pot for Christmas, but I don't know what size to get them. It's just the 2 of them, but she makes a lot of soup in the winter. Also, when everyone's together, we're 14 people. I'm leaning towards the 6 or 7 qt size, but not sure which to choose.
Hi. My household is just DP and I, and I really prefer having the larger size. The smaller one is not big enough for freezer meals, and I also do roasts and turkey breasts in it, so the bigger size is nice. I'd also recommend a programmable.
Ditto the programmable. The ability to cook on low for 6 hrs then switch to warm has been great for not overcooking food while at work all day. Plus for simmering soup I would probably use the warm setting.
