However, beware of buying too small. Personally, I like to cook 2 or 3 times the quantity I want now, freeze the surplus and have a day off from cooking next week. Also, I make my own sauces and ketchups and I need a large cooker for them.
Don't lose sleep over it. Most people get hooked once they get used to using these cookers - you might end up with 2 or 3 in different sizes, as I have done!
