Why Use a Small Slow Cooker?

A traditional 6-quart crockpot is too large when you’re cooking for one. Smaller slow cookers (2–3 quarts) keep ingredients tender, cook evenly, and help you enjoy perfectly portioned meals. They’re ideal for solo diners, empty nesters, or anyone who wants comfort food without wast

What size slow cooker is best for cooking for one person?
A: For single-serving meals, a 1.5- to 3-quart slow cooker works best. These smaller slow cookers are the right size for making a hearty meal for one without drying out the food or leaving you with too many leftovers.
