Crock-Pot 2.4L Slow Cooker with Removable Ceramic Bowl - Energy Efficient Small Crockpot for 1-2 People - Easy to Clean Black Slow Cooker (CSC046) - Perfect for Soups, Stews & Family Dinners

I’ve always enjoyed slow cooking, but after downsizing to a smaller home, I found that my large slow cooker was just too big for the two of us. It took a lot of time to heat up, and since I only ever cook small meals, I felt like I was wasting a lot of energy and water. I also usually use the leftover liquid to make gravy, but it seemed excessive for smaller portions.After reading through a number of reviews, I chose this Crockpot for its ideal size for two people. It comes with a solid two-year warranty, the pot is dishwasher safe (though I prefer to wash it by hand to keep it in good condition!), and the price is competitive for the quality. The glass lid fits securely, and while it has a small vent hole, the cooker still performs well. I also like that it’s stable, with a cord that’s long enough for convenience. Unlike my large cooker, this one doesn’t get the countertop too hot, and there’s just enough liquid left to make gravy without too much waste.I've used it a few times to cook smaller joints, around 500g, and the results have been fantastic. The first time, I cooked the joint for 5 hours on low and kept it on warm for an additional hour. It came out tender, but the meat was a little too soft to slice cleanly. Next time, I plan to cut the cooking time to around 3-4 hours and let it rest before serving to keep the texture just right.Overall, I’m really impressed with this slow cooker. It’s well-constructed, fairly priced, and does an excellent job. The only downside is that there’s no light to show when it’s on, but that’s a minor issue compared to all the positive features. I particularly appreciate the 'keep warm' setting, which is handy for keeping the food at the right temperature without overcooking.I’m very satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend this slow cooker.
