Proctor Silex Slow Cooker, Durable, 3 Quart Capacity

I've been making many meals for my husband and I in this slow cooker and it is just the right size. I was debating on whether to get a 3 quart or something smaller. I researched many of the 1-2 quart models and although many of the reviews raved about how those sizes were perfect for a couple, I am so glad that I got this one since I can't imagine making a meal for two in anything smaller. Plus, this leaves a little extra leftover for lunch the next day.

This is the first slow cooker I have ever purchased and ever used for that matter. I made some beans and kielbasa over the weekend and it worked perfectly. I was able to leave the beans sitting with the low setting all day with no burning or other problems. When cleaning everything, warm water and a soft sponge was all it took to clean the ceramic insert.

I do have one complaint with this cooker: it slides around too easily. The bottom of it has 4 nubs that are a part of the overall plastic body. Unfortunately, this plastic is very smooth and slides around. This is further worsened by the short yet very stiff power cord. In order to provide some safety I am going to need to find something to put beneath it to prevent it from sliding.

This 3-quart slow cooker is perfect when cooking for 2. You can get a great meal and another for left-overs or freezing. Low price but good quality crockpot......
