I often cook in quantity, too. I, like some of you, live alone. I have also learned to not waste food and after a few days of eating the same meal, I freeze in either containers or freezer bags.

I do make good use of my crockpot, but mine has 3 inter-changable ceramic crocks. It came with a 2, 4 and 6 quart and I have no problem putting in simple ingredients and freezing what I don't use.

I also have a toaster oven, so I can only bake or broil so much in it. It makes planning meals easier by knowing I can't cram the world into the oven.

I don't think there is anything wrong with cooking meals for more than one night as long as you don't mind leftovers or freezing for future meals. Makes better sense and is much cheaper than buying microwaveable meals from the freezer section of a grocery store.
