    to replace a much larger one (very old) which eventually gave up the ghost.

    We are a family of 2, but I believe there is a larger model, and I love this one!

  • I have a Sear and Stew slow cooker. I got it to replace my cookworks one after the pot cracked. This one has a metal non stick pot, which has got rid of my two gripes about my old one - the weight of the pot (and worry about dropping it) and being difficult to clean. 3.5l is enough for a family of four most of the time, but if you plan to cook larger joints of meat or batch cook for the freezer go for 6l. It cooks quicker when there is less in it, but that's the only reason why a larger one would cause a problem when cooking for 4.

  • I know this is an old post, but Sainsbury's had some slow cookers for silly cheap prices the other week. I bought one for £11.33 (exactly!), it's a 3.5l and I get four portions out of it, or 6 portions of soup. There's only 2 of us but I use it for batch cooking. My best buy of the year :)
