How big are crock pots?

Small: 1.5 - 2 quarts. Good for 1-2 people or small side dishes.

Medium: 3 - 4 quarts. Suitable for 3-4 people or a main dish with side.

Large: 5 - 7 quarts. Ideal for 5-6 people or a large family meal.

Extra Large: 8 - 10 quarts. Perfect for feeding a crowd or preparing large quantities of food.

Other Factors:

* Shape: Some crock pots are oval, others are round. This can impact the amount of food they can hold.

* Depth: A deeper crock pot may hold less food than a shallower one with the same capacity.

* Brand: Different brands may have slightly different sizing standards.

Tip: When choosing a crock pot size, consider the number of people you'll be cooking for and the amount of food you typically need.
