Crock pot questions....?!
I have a big crock pot, I think it is a 5qt, but nothing on it says how many quarts it is!. Is there anyway of finding that out!? (I am new at this crock pot thing) I have used it for some stew and a few other soups/stews, and I have an old crock pot recipe book, and it says I can make bread in it, but I need a bread and cake pan to go in it!. Why!? Actually any crock pot info would be great!. I am loving it cause I work late some days and it is nice to come home to homemade food that I otherwise wouldn't have time to cook (I just don't like getting up early to put it all together) :) Thanx bunches!

Answers:
take a two quart measuring pitcher and see how many you need to fill the crock pot up with water!. I am guess it's a 6 quart!. I have a big 6 quart one!.
You can bake bread in your crock pot!? Well I never heard of that but maybe you can!. You need to keep it in a pan or else it will spread and stick and not rise properly just in the pot!.
Stews are great!. I made a stew in mine yesterdaya nd had it this evening!. Any soups (cook the pasta first and add when soup is done, same with rice)!.!.!.
goulash,!.!.!.a roast with potatoes, things like that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Crock-pots are great for cooking; they come either round or rectangular
ranging from 3 to 6 quarts; or mini 1-2 quart!. Measure with a 2 qt bottle
Invest in some recipe books or search on the internet!.
I imagine the bread-pan is so you can remove the bread after cooking!.
You can prepare your veggies the night before & refrigerate the meat!.
Potatoes would turn brown unless kept in water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
