Slow cooker outside overnight?

[kelly94942]

Hi all! For our upcoming 4th of July trip, I am doing all of the cooking! (this isn't a chore, I love cooking!) One of the things I was thinking about was a slow cooker breakfast casserole. I have made these in the past and they are great - everyone can eat whenever he/she gets up! I was thinking about setting up the slow cooker on a table outside over night, so folks from different RVs can come by and just get breakfast when they wake up without coming into one RV. Has anyone ever done this? Any issues?

I'm thinking I'll just leave it inside until I wake up and then move it outside for folks. A couple of other options I just thought of is that it MAY fit into our outside kitchen entertainment compartment (although that's pretty narrow), which would be perfect because there is a plug in there and it can just be opened in the morning by whoever... or just putting it in one of the storage bays. Again, it's protected from raccoons but accessible by people!

I second the coon problem. I battle them all the time and they're smarter and stronger than you think.

If I was a wild critter, I'd knock the pot over for a free meal.

If you google "slow cooker breakfast casserole" or something along those lines, you'll come up with many options. This one is the one I usually use as my "starting point" and then I make changes depending on what ingredients we are feeling like.

That's exactly what I'm worried about - are critters going to be a problem.
