Large or Small Microcooker: Which One Should You Choose?

If you had to pick.... which would you get?

always go large. You can cook less in a larger vessel but can never cook more in a smaller one.

Large - it's not that much more expensive and it holds a lot more. I also prefer the shape - the small handle on each side rather than the one long handle. I use the large one more - and if you are wanting to use it at shows you can make the Vanilla Lattes in it - just did it Friday night and everyone loved them, it shows the caraffe if you have it, which is a more expensive item. I think I'm going to keep doing this for the rest of the winter and see if it makes a difference in my sales.

What, may I ask, are the Vanilla Lattes? Those sound nummy, please share!

I actually found it on the recipe search on CC. It's really simple - you whisk together 4 cups milk, 2 cups water, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup instant coffee and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla in the large micro cooker. You micro on high for 3 minutes, take out and whisk and then micro another 3 minutes or until hot. Then put it in the caraffe. Can serve with whipped topping, grated chocolate and our cinnamon sprinkled on it. Everyone at the show loved it - I had to make two batches but it's quick and simple so I didn't mind.
