I have a large slow cooker but live alone.

Often I will cook a large meal, use what I need then freeze the rest so
despite its size it is used often.

I have recently tried putting a smaller pot within the slow cooker for
small meals, I have a 16cm Le Creuset pot which fits nicely in the slow
cooker and seems to work OK.

So far it has appeared to work OK but have any readers any comments as
to if this increases cooking time due to smaller pot not covering
heating area of larger slow cooker pot.
