Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / March 2007Cooking under way.
Has anybody used a slow cooker / crock pot, powered by an inverter, while driving ? I am thinking about laying it in the sink to control movement. I thought that making a frozen pizza in the oven could be another possibility. > Has anybody used a slow cooker / crock pot, powered by an inverter, while > driving ? I am thinking about laying it in the sink to control movement. We have a 12V slow cooker that we use in our "B" that way. > I thought that making a frozen pizza in the oven could be another > possibility. Why? Why not simply use the microwave to cook it? If you're looking at inverters anyway, bear in mind that few, if any, non-commercial MWs draw over 1300W and most draw no more than 1100W. A 1500W inverter such as <http://www.flyingjestore.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=showitem&PRODUCT_CODE=EL239&IT EM_NUMBER=5&SKU=100> would suffice. >> Has anybody used a slow cooker / crock pot, powered by an inverter, while >> driving ?

Better yet, try this one: http://www.roadtrucker.com/12-volt-cooking/12-volt-portable-slow-cooker-crock-pot.htm John Andrews, Knoxville, Tennessee >>> Has anybody used a slow cooker / crock pot, powered by an inverter, >>> while driving ?

If he wants to do pizza, he won't get it done in a slow-cooker. Of course, there's always the BFMI approach: something like our Onan CME7000 which will run the 2 air conditioners, 2 TVs, Washer/Dryer, Hot Water Heater, Fridge, Ceiling Fans, Electric Fireplace, etc., in our 5er all at the same time.... <G> >> Has anybody used a slow cooker / crock pot, powered by an inverter, while >> driving ?

We cook underway all the time. Slow cooker works well as does the convection oven and/or the toaster oven. When we had a gas oven we would use it too. Just don't let the safety nazis catch you moving around to check on whether dinner is done yet. Or worse - serve it to you while you are moving.

Stuff that takes a long time, and can be done in a gas oven, like lasagna, roasts and hams. Nothing that will turn over or spill. But you better remember to check it.

Don't forget about a litte basic Electrical engineering also. Most 110v slow cookers will be on the order of 1500 w. So you would required an inverter that would PROVIDE (not draw) that much power. Thats pretty big, even for the big diesel pushers. However, you do have to consider what the inverter would draw. With an 80% efficiency you would need a 12 volt altenator that would provide approximately 150 amps. I don't even know if anybody makes them that large. Besides Inverters don't do real well with resisive loads. They are really made for electronics. >> Has anybody used a slow cooker / crock pot, powered by an inverter, >> while driving ?

You might just want to look at the data plate on a few slow cookers - more than a few are 300-500 watts. Microwaves run from 650-1300 watts. > > Has anybody used a slow cooker / crock pot, powered by an inverter, while > > driving ? I am thinking about laying it in the sink to control movement. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Besides Inverters don't do real well with resisive loads. They are really > made for electronics. Our large 15" x 10" oval slow cooker draws 375 watts. We had an earlier smaller one I recall drew 75 or 150 watts. These do not ALL take a lot of power, but they do take it for a long time. I've never seen one that took 1500 watts...But I've not seen everything. :-) FWIW, Barrie B Ours is 375W, but remember, I said that I wanted to cook under way so the alternator would provide plenty of power.

But why would knowing how to use RSS make it "easier to follow" a newsgroup? How/why would that be different from using, say, Agent?

I laughed out loud several times while reading through and thoroughly enjoyed it all. A tip of the hat to the author for his creativity, sense of humor, and professionally executed web pages. > Has anybody used a slow cooker / crock pot, powered by an inverter, while > driving ?

My crappy 300W inverter ran my 250W Rival crock pot on its highest setting. |
