Happy wife = Happy life

Mine is a Rival. The ingredients fill it exactly to the top.

Since I have leftover onion, parsley, carrots etc., I'm gonna get another couple of ham hocks and another bag of peas and make some more!.

4 or 5 quart?

i just looked and saw it makes 8 servings. sounds like a perfect thing to make in late september before i deliver so i don't have to worry about cooking for a bit while i recover. i'll give it a test run some time before now and then though. it does sound delish.

Go big or go home!

I think the one I have is a 6 1/2 quart oval with a lid strap and thermal carrying case. It's nice for cooking something up at home and then transporting it to work or a house party for consumption.

Thats a nice rig. What did you pay for it? A crock you can stuff a whole bird in has got to be big.
