- Is 3 quarts big enough for a family?
- It suits one or two people or a side dish. A family of four wanting leftovers should look at a 6-quart model.
- Does it have a timer?
- No. It has a dial for cooking and a keep-warm setting, so you switch it yourself when the food is done.
- Can the crock go in the dishwasher?
- Yes. The ceramic crock and the lid are dishwasher safe, though hand washing the lid keeps it clearer.
- Can I cook a whole chicken in it?
- A small chicken of about 3 pounds fits in the oval crock. Larger birds need a bigger cooker.
- Does the lid lock for travel?
- No. There is no locking lid or strap, so it is not built for carrying food to a potluck.
- How does it compare with a programmable slow cooker?
- A programmable model can switch to warm on its own. This one is cheaper and simpler but needs you to be around at the end of cooking.
