I use the smaller one most of the time. If I'm doing a whole chicken I will use the bigger one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208515 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:57:03 +0000 blackbird 1208515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a small one AND i have a big 6.5 quart crockpot that was recommended in America's Test Kitchen's Crockpot cookbook. It is amazing. I think it was $80 or so.</p> <p>this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KVZTFO/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KVZTFO/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208513 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:56:56 +0000 JoJoGirl 1208513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208512 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:56:17 +0000 MsLipGloss 1208512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Hahahaha - LOVEIT! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208508 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:54:26 +0000 JoJoGirl 1208508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: the *use the most* addition was a shout-out to your MIL ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208504 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:53:40 +0000 JoJoGirl 1208504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eek I hope the two freezer meals fit in my 3.5-er. Ill die of sorrow if I thaw them and they don't fit. The pepper recipe actually called for all 6 peppers to go in but I could only fit 4.. I guess the last 2 will go in tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208484 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:49:02 +0000 IRunForFun 1208484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 quarts and I don't think I could go smaller. I've got pasta fagioli in there today and the pot is almost full to the brim! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208477 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:46:46 +0000 GrapeCrush 1208477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 5qt ones that get used the most and a 6qt one. I want smaller ones and a bigger one. I love my crockpot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208474 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:45:59 +0000 pregnantbee 1208474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have 1, and it's 3.5 qts. I could totally get a bigger one, though, because I ran out of room when I tried a recipe last week. Things didn't mix the way they should have, and I ended up tossing the meal.</p> <p>I'm loving all of the crock pot talk lately, and it has really inspired me to switch up our cooking and eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208473 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:45:40 +0000 MsLipGloss 1208473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two (thanks to my MIL) . . . actually 3 if you count the mini crock-pot that came with the first one! We have a 6qt, 3qt, and a *little dipper* (16oz). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208468 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:44:39 +0000 Boheme 1208468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those look so yummy! </p> <p>We are crock pot addicts, since DH and I work opposite schedules. Our biggest one is a 6 qt because we often make a whole chicken in there (like today! yum!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208462 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:43:49 +0000 looch 1208462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is actually a 7 quart one...the main feature I wanted was an insert that you could use on the stove to braise meats and things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-crockpot#post-1208458 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 11:42:23 +0000 JoJoGirl 1208458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This crockpot freezer meal thing seems to be spreading like wildfire (thanks Mrs. Wagon and Mrs. Polish!). I always get confused when I see recipes because I'm not sure if they are for my size crockpot. Ours is only 3.5 qt but I think I need to upgrade to a 6, given how awesome this idea is. I was actually giddy last night at the thought of a huge stack of ziplock bags in my freezer and not needing to cook (or shop?!) again for like 2 weeks. </p> <p>Sixsisters.com stuffed peppers cooking now.. Italian lemon chicken and sausage and lentil stew on the menu for the week! </p> [attach=2295/13/mw3yep.600x600.image.jpg]
