Depends on your needs, I suppose. I've the 6.5L MR as well as the smaller version of the same thing, and use both, depending on what I'm cooking. There are eight of us here, and even with the 6.5L, I don't often have much left over.

Oh I agree! I didn't even know they did slow cookers that size - what a bargain!

Chicken in mine again today, too :

Chicken breasts, liberally coated in Jamaican Jerk paste (marinated overnight in the fridge)
Diced onion
Diced red and green pepper
2 tins of value chopped tomatoes
Good squirt of tomato paste
Tin of red kidney beans, drained


I am already imagining the wonderful smell which will be awaiting me when I get home from work this afternoon

My slow cooker is a crock pot type one, and when I make chilli, bolognaise or curry in it, I get little burnt-on patches of food in two corners of the pot that's impossible to get off. (Funnily, it doesn't happen with casseroles or joints of meat - random.)

Anyway, I've put it through the dishwasher, left it to soak in a variety of substances - and it doesn't come off. So I was thinking of putting a squirt of stardrops and some water in it, then putting it on to slow cook on high for a couple of hours (same kind of theory as putting a bowl of water in a microwave to cook to steam the microwave).

I know it's a very small possibility, but I don't suppose anyone else has tried this? Do you think it would be ok?
