Hello, gnu. So you are branching out in your cooking! Nice to hear.

I have two slow cookers, a small and a large. They have ceramic pots which can be removed and put on the table. I like that feature. ]

Although there are only two people in our household, I use the large one quite a bit. For example, once a month friends come over and we play music on a Sunday afternoon. I make a nice rich soup in the large pot and we all have it, then we play.

When you buy the pot, it should come with a recipe booklet. That ought to get you started.
