Crock Capacity

How much does your slow cooker hold?

The capacity of your slow cooker refers to the amount the crock can hold if it is filled to the rim. However, we DO NOT recommend filling to the rim.

As a rule, you should select recipes that yield 1 quart less than the listed capacity of your crock. For example, if your slow cooker is labeled as a

6-quart slow cooker, your best results will be achieved using recipes that yield 5 quarts or less.
