This size is perfect for two, but I've had to re-do my thinking to cook on "high" vs. low or simmer in order to quicken cooking time. Otherwise it would be close to 12 hrs. As stated, it works very well with soups and meats. I'm now going to find away to cook beans faster. Good little appliance!
I would recommend this to a friend!
