Love my crockpot! Whether it's soup, roast with vegetables, port roast with sauerkraut, desserts galore. Always trying new recipes. There are only two of us, have left overs a few days later, freeze or share. Love putting it on in the morning and having evening meal ready. The smell of something cookin' is always good (except for the sauerkraut). We have the small one and a 5 quart one that we love.
