You wouldn't want juices bubbling over, etc. You can adjust the amount you put in your crock pot to make it fit -- for instance, if you don't have room for 2 lbs meat, scale it back to 1-1/2 lbs to reduce the volume just a bit. Based on how high it was in my 6-quart crock pot, I think it would be okay. For the roast, the volume will be okay, you might have to cut it up to fit in the bottom of a smaller crock pot -- you really don't want to stack the roast -- you want it to be able to simmer in the juices that cook out of it. You could easily do a smaller roast though. Hope that helps! Here is a link that I found helpful with basic guidelines and tips for cooking in crock pots -- hope you find it helpful too. :-) http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/slow-cookers-for-dummies-cheat-sheet.htmlGourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-41147785968703357562013-11-14T11:12:19.151-05:002013-11-14T11:12:19.151-05:00Hi GGC - I have a slow cooker question...

I like starting it before I go to bed rather than before going to work in the morning -- less hassle for me. It was 28 degrees when I drove to work this morning and its supposed to get back down to 28 overnight tonight, too. I just heard we might have 72 degrees on Saturday though? LOL Crazy weather! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-76761070185751267432013-11-13T23:52:40.800-05:002013-11-13T23:52:40.800-05:00Hi T -- thank you.

I had gastric bypass surgery four years ago and have been struggling to stay on track as of late...missing foods with crusts and breads and such and going down the dreaded bad carb road in search of them. You've given me great tasting,healthy alternatives to satisfy those cravings and I just wanted to let you know I appreciate your creativity and willingness to share!
