Great for parties and entertainingLid with rubber seal and Lid Latch strap for spill-resistant travelGreat for appetizers and dipsRemovable oval stoneware & lid are dishwasher safeKeep warm setting keeps food at serving temperature without overcooking
Is this crock pot big enough to be using a mason jar with? It submerges in water up to the lid. I hope so, I've been using it with a mason jar on 'keep warm' for years :D.
I find this slow cooker perfect for small batch cooking. It is big enough to make dinner for my husband, middle school daughter and a toddler, sometimes with a serving of leftovers for my husband's lunch the next day. (I often have separate food because allergies) I work out of state for my summer job and I use it to cook single servings for me as well. I can fit a couple of chicken breasts or 3-4 boneless thighs, a small beef roast for shredded beef sandwiches or a little pot roast, or a piece of pork shoulder to make pulled pork. It's also a great size for spinach artichoke dip, which I should not eat as a meal, but sometimes I do.
I like that it has a removable crock (some in that size do not) and mine has good temperature control - my Mom has a smaller one that seems to only really get warm enough to heat dip, not warm enough to actually cook.
A small fully functional pot like this would be superb, or consider one of the 3qt Instant Pots.
Googling slow cooker recipes for one or two generates more results than you'll ever be able to get through😀😀 and of course you can scale down any recipe in a small crock.
Some halved little potatoes with frozen sliced onions and peppers topped with a small meatloaf or a couple chicken thighs.
Overnight steel cut oats with nuts and dried fruits.
You may need to divide up ingredients and freeze portions for easy prep later. I'll bet there are weekly meal prep guides for one or two.
