I recommend the largest your kitchen can accommodate. Mine will cook a large chicken or a small turkey.

I've got a Hamilton Beach 5 quart travel one.

This weekends slow cooker is lasagna .. It's a friends dish

Ricotta cheese and mix one egg and basil.
Layer starting with sauce the key is exta sauce in crookpot lasagna so it doesn't stick.
I usually break my uncooked lasagna noodles into pieces.
Then add clumps of the ricotta mix add a bunch of sauce and go until you run out.

Cook on low all day.

Wish me luck !

you sure can... anything you want to cook with it.

i like to cook a chicken then bone it for eats, and use the stock for soup.
yum!

This is a little more complicated but worth the trouble. I like to fire roast a bunch of veggies- eggplant, zucchini, squash, turnips, onions. I have a big grill basket and get the fire on my grill or pit really hot, even flaming and then shake my basket and get them nice and roasted with a little EVOO.

I throw them all in the crock after, add canned diced tomatoes (I use fire roasted organic diced tomatoes) garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh basil, a little oregano, salt and pepper. Sometimes a little chicken stock and red wine. I let it cook for a long time, most of the day. I serve it like a stew and put a big chunk of goat cheese on top.

My crock has 3 changable sizes 2, 4 and 6 quart bowls.
Except I no longer have the 2 quart one as R dropped it outside.
(Mental note to self, check online and see if company offers replacement bowls)
The 2 quart size was great for sauces and dips

I like that I can just pull the bowls out for clean up...easy peasy

+1 chopped onion
