(oval) for just 2 of us.  By the time we have a meal and then have leftovers for the next day, there isn't much to freeze. Also, most manufacturers recommend that you only fill a crockpot1/2 to 3/4 full.....that leaves you with little room for the food. As far as chili and pasta sauce, I still like my regular pots for that, but I'm home to keep an eye on it. Suggestion.......wrap that 2 qt. up for a gift for someone, and get a bigger one.</blockquote>
