Mainstays 2 Quart Manual Slow Cooker, Corsair Blue

I had a larger (6qt) crocker, but it was too big for just my wife and me. We always had plenty to share with the kids if they dropped-by. But downsizing has a place, even in the kitchen, so getting a smaller slow cooker made sense. I can routinely make 4 generous servings of chili, beans (1 lb at a time), lentils, soups, etc. So, if I remember to start crocking after breakfast lunch will be ready without a delay. (I will wash and soak my new beans dinner, rinse, and be ready to crock after breakfast -- HIGH setting for 4-5 hours. The WARM setting is used when I've made soup, out of concern that the liquid might evaporate off before I've licked the pot clean.
