Crockpot cooking while travelling

I've made lots of dinners in the crockpot while camping but never while travelling. My crockpot fits perfectly in the kitchen sink & I will probably roll up the oven mitts & jam into the corners of the sink for added stability. I am wondering how to secure the lid. I am sure it would slide off & smash (its glass) onto the floor during a sudden turn or hard brake. Or should I forget about using the crockpot lid & just use aluminum foil?

Thanks,
~Diane

    You are really thinking about cooking while you travel. I'm sorry, but I really think that is a bad idea. I've got about a dozen healthy delicious meals that only take a few minutes to cook that we have on travel day, including heating up leftovers. Amazing


    WHY is it a bad idea? I drive semi, and use a slow cooker in the sleeper A LOT! Put 1/2 a small roast in, add potato, celery, carrots, spices. Turn it on when I take off in the AM. At noon, have a delicious meal! Meat left over for a sandwich later.

    Why is it a "bad idea"? I can see nothing wrong with it. I plug into my inverter. Pulls 100 watts, when on. Not much at all. Sits on floor. Glass lid had NEVER come off.
