Slow cookers

[tom_e]

Looking at picking up a cheap slow cooker to save myself some cash as it means I can buy any old meat and make it nice and edible rather than going for the pricer cuts.
Only problem is I'm not sure what size to go for, I've found a 1.5L one for about £13 for a 3.5L one for about £20.
It's generally going to be used so I can buy a big lump of meat chuck everything in and bulk cook a few nights dinners in one go so I'm thinking the 3.5L but and I feel like this is a really stupid question is there anything wrong with cooking a small meal say only enough for one serving in the bigger one?
Also if anyone has any recommendations on which one to go for or interesting recipes that would be great

I would stick with the 3.5l, I'd rather have the space and not need it than need the space and not have it. At the end of the day you can freeze extras, chilli, beef stew and the like to be used another day.

I fill my 3L every time i use it and there are only 2 of us.

That was my thinking, I'd probably end up annoyed with lack of space if I went for the 1.5L as I plan on doing as you said and freezing plenty so I can sit straight down to dinner when I get home rather than having to spend an hour of the little time I get cooking.

Argos have got a Breville 4.5L for £22 and I've got a £10 voucher round here somewhere so that sounds like a deal to me
