Some slow cookers cook faster than others. Mine is a true slow cooker (have had it over 10 years.) The newer ones cook a bit faster and you may have to adjust your cooking time based on that!
I get many emails asking how much a serving is. I don't think I have ever measured it sorry! I just know that five people eat and I usually have one serving left over.
