Would you recommend this for a family of four or is it just for individual servings?

You can make as much or as little as you want! I generally set up serving bowls and frozen fruit and make fruity combinations as requested! Because you control how much fruit you want to use for a serving, you can make as few or as many as you wish! When I use it, I make 3 or 4 servings. Our family loves this!

I use it to make enough for my family of four. As long as the bowl is big enough and you have enough fruit, you can just keep putting more fruit in until you have a desired amount. Cleanup is easy and it is the same no matter how much you make.

I'd say it works best for 1-2 people. We use it only for cooking oatmeal overnight for breakfast for two of us. Then use our bigger one to prep dinner.

I love this product and would say its definitely for a family but you would need your own tips. It does come with several so if you can all use a different one, great!

I live alone so wanted this small size. All I know is that it does a wonderful job. Instructions say fill it more that half full for best results. Guess it depends on how much the four in your family eat...

definitely no small whole chicken (the 6 or 8 qt would work better), maybe a 1 to 1.5lb roast.the 4 qt sounds big but it's really not, you can only fill it up to 3/4 capacity and then whatever you are cooking needs liquid or it'll burn.it works for me cause I only cook for myself but if you're cooking for a family get a bigger version

Yes. It would be good for up to 4. 2 people only and there is no crowding of food/dishes on the table.

I bought the 4.5 quart because that is what the author of the Glorious One-Pot Meals cookbook recommended. She indicated if the oven is too big the flavors will change. It is perfect for us. I am cooking for 2 adults and we usually have enough leftovers for at least one more meal for each of us.

Hello, I don't work well with ounces, but it is perfect for 2 up to 4 people. I use it mostly for my husband and I or even alone, and a bigger pot if I have more guests. Results are quite good; very fast, and the rice comes out very nice once you find the right balance between rice and water.

There are only 2 of you eh? This cooker is fine for two people, one dinner today and one leftover for tomorrow. I eat very little meat but a small roast is no problem. Make sure you have some water in it always. The booklet it comes with is a great beginning book and will guide you well. I am having a good time with it...

I look at it strictly thru this lens: If it's just for you and maybe one or both of you are smaller eaters, women, maybe, or a kid get the smaller one...but if you are gonna possibly be feeding 3 or more people at ANY time, then DEFINITELY get the larger...you can ALWAYS make do with Larger than you need as opposed to having something SMALLER than you need right the!! So again, just you...get the smaller....more than you?? If it was me, I'd get the bigger!! just my opinion. mike

Get the 6 quart if you cook for a family. I got the 4 quart and it's just enough for my husband and I with a little left over for lunch the next day.

If you are thinking of cooking 4 at one time. Small amount of eggs in each divided area. However, I think 4 small ones would be rather thin, almost like a crepe. I think I would make 2 at a time..I'd used 2 eggs, small amount of cheese and 1 tblsp water. Mix well and put small amount of egg mixture in each side, carefully not to overflow. I do think 2 would turn out nicely. Perhaps real bacon bits and even chives added in..Should be attractive for the enough to make mouth water and enough to make a pleasing plate. I will try that in the morning and post how it turned out.

I love the 8quart feeds 8 people no problem or 4 people if big eaters! Or if you have cooked other items to go with the dutch oven food. Like people have said bigger dutch oven longer to cook the food in it

I think 5-cup is enough for family of 4. The 10-cup pot would be for family larger than 5. And yes, you still can cook a small amount on a 10-cup.

They probably hold a "suggested serving size" for adults. But honestly.. it holds about half of what I would consider a decent adult serving.

I am able to cook meals for 2 mostly. I follow recipes and cut the serving sizes in half and I still end up with leftovers. I'd say you can cook meals for up to 4-5 people but its not too big for cooking for one person with leftovers.

It works great for just the two of us. I don't think it's heavy duty enough for a family of five. You would have to run it constantly for that many dishes.
