Wondering what size crock I should get for the RV???  I currently have the large 5 qt. but it's too big for 2 people.  I'm thinking 2 or 3 qt. for 2 pieces of chicken or sm. pot roast or turkey breast for Thanksgiving???

What size is yours???

We initially thought the same and gave away our large one and bought a 3 quart for the road. Lo and behold, we got invited to pot lucks and had to go out and buy another 5 quart. So now we have 2 crock pots.

lol There ya go, no right or wrong answers! We have a 3 qt that we use often, but our potluck favorites are not crockpot recipes.

I needed a new crockpot when we moved into the RV and went to Wal Mart to look. I found one that has three different sizes of the crock that fits in the base.  So, I have a 3, 4 and 5 quart and have used them all. 

I just brought the one I had for years. It is a 5 qt. We store it in the basement until I need it. I just made soup and was able to freeze 3 containers full. We now have dinner/lunch for 3 meals. I just didn't want to go out and buy another crock pot when I already had one and then I would have to sell or give away the old one and decided it was just easier. When I need a new one I think I'll go the way Donna did and get the one that has 3 in one.

We have 2 small ones for dips, 2 -3qt for potlucks and small stuff cooking and a 6 qt for big stuff. All of them get used often, especially the small ones for hot dips and chips.

Thanks everyone...I'm thinking I'll eventually go with the 3 qt. Sounds like that size will work best for us. Since we're not much for grilling, the space saved will accomodate the crock just fine, lol.

I still use the 3 qt. crock pot my mom gave me in the 70's.  It's inconvenient (the crock doesn't come out of the base for cleaning) and outdated (avocado green - need I say more?), but it has never given me one moment of dissatisfaction.  It still makes the best beef stew and onion pot roast in the world.  I'll never give it up for a newer model.  They'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands someday!

I just wrote about this one on the Kitchen Gadget thread....  

This is a slow cooker from Coleman. It's great because you don't need electriciy to run it, and it can set out on a picnic table.  The center lifts out and has a locking lid.  Instead of crockery, it's a metal container.  I have used it a few times, but it seems to cook too fast.  I have done soups and stews in it, but would hesitate to try chili or beans...  So I called Coleman to ask if this was *normal*.  They shipped me a new regulator device to see if that helps, and I have not had time to try that yet.   It runs on both the small LP cylindars or you can hook it to a larger propane tank via a hose.

I love it ! Thats the perfect must have for pot lucks, etc.

I rarely used my crockpots and I was tempted to get rid of all of them. Instead I kept the 5 1/2qt Smart Pot. I knew it was too big for 2 people (unless I was boiling peanuts lol) but the 4 qt didn't switch to warm automatically. I discovered you can put a 2 or 3 qt oven safe bowl, (pryex, anchor hocking, foil doesn't matter) inside and then put your ingredients into the smaller container and cook as usual. It's an easy way to keep a crockpot that will be big enough for pot lucks but small enough for dinner for two.
