Crockpot cooking while travelling

Wrap the lid in a towel and put away somewhere.

Try rubber bands or a bungee cord. Are you using an inverter or generator for ac power while rolling?

Get a couple of small bungee cords. Hook them under the handles on each side of the crockpot and position them across the top with the lid knob between them. You could also use one longer cord, hook around a handle, loop it under the opposite handle, and take it back across the lid.

If your crockpot doesn't have handles on the sides, you will have to hook under the bottom some how.

I put my lid on upside down so it won't slide off. I love stopping to a nice slow cooked meal.

Love reading these responses:).
Gives me something to think of over the winter.

Sorry didn't get that you wanted on while moving.

:S

What about heat resistant Duct Tape.

Thanks for the replies. I thought of tape but figured the glue would become soft & not stick when it got hot. Also considered bungee cords and thought the rubber in them might melt from the heat as well. The lid gets quite hot (enough to need a pot holder to lift it) while food is cooking. I am only going to fill it 3/4's full so nothing sloshes out. Might just stick with the foil, my only concern is the possibility of condensation dripping down in between the pot & liner & causing problems.

It will be plugged into an inverter & into the 12V plug that is directly above the sink.

Diane the cigarette lighter type plugs in my RV are fused at 15 amps. Many 120 volt crock pots are rated at 300 watts which translates to about 30 amps @ 12 volts. It would be best to have the inverter near the battery bank rather that using the outlet above the sink.

We bought a Hamilton Beach "Stay or Go" crockpot that has a clamp down lid......just for the reason stated...
