Best size of slow cooker?

[MadLabOwner]

There is me and DH and DD 11 months - would I be better off getting a ginormous one or just one that serves up to 4? I know someone out there will be able to help!

get the 4 one don't get a mahoosive one

I got a medium sized one (there are four of us) and I still end up freezing half

Thanks Cappuccino - I had visions of getting the one that serves 4, and ending up scraping out the dregs for my supper as there wouldn't be enough. Very interesting to know that you have enough left to freeze, thanks

we got medium size 4.5litre and its big enough to feed 2 adults 3 dc
