12-volt crock pot
Yahoo Message Number: 47217
Hi--quite some time ago Sarah mentioned finding a 12-volt crock pot here:  http://www.roadtrucker.com/12-volt-kitchen-2.htm
 I am going through old posts now and came across this.  Does anyone use one of these?  Does anyone have a feel for how much electricity something like this would use--how much it would drain the batteries running all day?

Thanks,  Eileen

 A lot. Search Art Berggreen's archive of this group's posts (http://www.lazydazers.org/ Yahoo/msg_display.php doing so ;-) and you'll find discussion of slow cooker power consumption. It's pretty high when you consider that you'll be using it all day.
 A Nissan Thermal cooker is more expensive, but a much better solution: heat up the contents on your stovetop, close the lid and let it cook just like a crock pot for eight or ten hours with no further energy input...and no electricity at all. Search Art's archive on 'baird nissan' for more information.

I bought one and love it. Use it all the time, I make pastafasule (sp?), chile, Andy's chedar cheese, brocali soup (yum, yum), home made french onion soup. Even though it was somewhat pricey, to me it is worth it. Nothing to break, no gas or electric. Everything tastes wonderful.
