Crock pot?

[CindyLou82]

Has anyone used their crock pot in the RV? I'm assuming its ok to use but just curious....
We are about to take our maiden voyage that's overnight and I'm planning the menu out.

Yes Sir! We use the crock pot quit often. Fact we hardly use the propane stove much. Since we belong to private RV parks where all utilities are paid for, we use as much electricity as possible and conserve our propane.

Think of you kitchen in your RV as your kitchen in your home, just on a smaller scale. We use are RV kitchen in our RV just like we used the one in our home when we had a home. Same gadgets and appliances maybe just a few less. The crock pot is a much used item.

The child bride of 47 years would not be without ours or should I say HERS.

We have used ours. It has fasteners to lock down the lid and the pot in the cooking unit.
We haven't tried to use it with the inverter going down the road but did with the generator running anyway to keep us cool while driving.
Sat it down in one of the sinks on a folded towel to cushion the unit.
The thing is so big it takes up a good bit of available storage though.

We use ours all the time..when we're in a campground and even while we're traveling down the road with our inverter or generator. For traveling we set it in the sink. I can still remember the BBQ ribs aroma as we tooled down the Alaskan Highway!! I'm surprised the grizzlies didn't follow along. 🙂

We have a 2 quart crock pot we keep in the camper all the time. We've used it a few times, mostly meat and potatoes. Turn it on in the morning, do all our running around, come back to the campsite mid-afternoon good and hungry and have food instantly ready! Our kids are all grown and gone. So it's just the 2 of us, so this works wonderful. We don't use it all the time, but when we do, it's a great help.

Same here. Crock Pots are not very particular on power and we run ours off an inexpensive 300 watt DC to AC invertor. Our pot only need 155 watts per the label.

It's our go to appliance in the RV 🙂 I think we've used it at least once every trip for the past 3 yrs!

Our menu for our next trip is set and three of four lunch/dinners use the crock. I love using the crockpot liners to make clean up even easier.

Hmm....good thinking with the sink!

Ohh! I didn't even think about the electric skillet!! I will have to add that to my "pack list"!! Thanks everybody. Love this forum.

Don't own a crockpot. Cooking on the road is an art. When we go out for a few days we precook a bunch of meals, soups, stews, etc. and freeze them. Thaw in the microwave and burn some flesh on the grill... We got food. Also carry some Lean Cuisine microwave lunches for sustenance.

Got to say that on a 3-5 day trip we alter our normal diet. After that, we try to eat what we do at home.

We use a crock pot for a wonderful pumpkin custard - very appropriate for this time of year.

My favorite small appliance is our electric skillet. It's massive, but awesome for everything - french fries, pancakes, hash browns, stir fry, etc. We love it enough to take it in the house for the winter.

Happy trails in your new rig!

While camped at an RV park on the beach .. my son made corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot. We left and spent the day on the beach and returned to a wonderful aroma. Entire RV smelled heavenly for quite a few hours. So yummie.

We placed a wood cutting board underneath the crock pot (for safety) as it heats up pretty good on the bottom of the crock pot.
