Me again with ANOTHER slow cooker question - hope I am in the right bit though!
Am wanting to do a stew for 5 people. The usual kind - beef chunks, carrots, onions, leeks, oxo etc, and was wanting to put some dumplings on top and finish it off in the oven. Now, I've only ever really used it for 2 people, half full, which usually leaves a little bit of leftovers. Do you think a 3.5l one will be big enough for 5? Or at least, do you think it would be big enough to do the stew in, if I then transferred it to another larger dish for the finishing off in the oven. I usually do a roast when I have the family round, but I fancied something which I could do in the morning, then let it get on with it, whilst I got on with other stuff!
Thanks very muchness for any help x
