Capacity: There's no point in buying a huge seven-litre slow cooker if there's only one or two of you — unless you're an enthusiastic host or into batch cooking. If you'll be serving four people on the regular, opt for a 4.5-litre model. Remember to consider how much room your slow cooker will take up, too, especially if you're limited on worktop and cupboard space. Capacity: These usually range from 1.5 to 6.5 litres. If you’re living alone or with your partner, you can opt for a single-person slow cooker or couples slow cooker that has a lower capacity when compared to a family-slow cooker.

Finally, opt for a slow cooker with size and capacity that is optimal for you or your family. Buying a smaller, lower wattage example will increase your cooking time, while a bigger device may be overkill for singles or couples, unless you want to batch cook and freeze meals. We recommend a 1.5-litre capacity for small households and 6.5 litres for a four-person or more family.
