Slow Cooker (Crockpot) Sizes

The size of your crockpot can affect the outcome of your meal. If your crockpot is smaller than what we recommend, you may need to cook your meal a little longer. If it’s larger than what we recommend you may need to shorten the cooking time. You will need to keep a close eye on the chicken as it cooks. Here are the crockpot sizes we recommend for each meal size to help cook your meals just right:

Smaller Portion (SP) - 3-Quart Crockpot
Regular Portion (RP) - 4-Quart Crockpot
Bigger Portion (BP) - 6-Quart Crockpot

Serving Suggestions

Put your own twist on this popular pork dish as carnitas go perfectly in burritos, salads, tacos, nachos and so much more. Start by serving it with a tortilla (flour or corn) topped with lettuce, black beans, rice and a spoonful of salsa (red, green or pico de gallo) and/or guacamole then mix it up from there.
