Choosing a Slow Cooker
Not all slow cookers are created equal . . . or work equally well for everyone!
Those of us who use slow cookers frequently know we have our own preferences when it comes to which slow cooker we choose to use. For instance, I love my programmable slow cooker, but there are many programmable slow cookers I’ve tried that I’ve strongly disliked. Why? Because some go by increments of 15 or 30 minutes and some go by 4, 6, 8, or 10 hours. I dislike those restrictions, but I have family and friends who don’t mind them at all! I am also pretty brand loyal when it comes to my manual slow cookers, because I’ve had great success with those and have had unsuccessful moments with slow cookers of other brands. So, which slow cooker(s) is/are best for your household?
It really depends on how many people you’re feeding and if you’re gone for long periods of time. Here are my recommendations:
Large slow cooker advantages/disadvantages:
Advantages:
You can fit a loaf pan or a baking dish into a 6- or 7-quart, depending on the shape of your cooker. That allows you to make bread or cakes, or even smaller quantities of main dishes. (Take your favorite baking dish and loaf pan along when you shop for a cooker to make sure they’ll fit inside.)
