The 4 qt programmable slow cooker is great for very small meals. It is quite small, but gets the job done. The device itself feels a little wobbly but that's just because it is so small. It fits nicely in my pantry or on my counter. I have used it many times and it is pretty consistent. I really like this Slow Cooker and definitely recommend it! Programmable feature is great and really gives me peace of mind in regards to cooking time. I have also use a slow cooker to make a dessert when I make it larger meal and it turned out great.
