Suggestions for an electric cooking device for a small space

[lizzie]

I know my subject is odd, but I couldn't think how to describe what I want. I don't like to cook seafood inside the RV so we usually carry a propane burner that will accommodate a large pot or fry pan. We have recently downsized to a B+/small C and don't have room for the burner. I need something that can sit on a picnic table and is easily stored. Something electric would be fine. Any suggestions. lizzie

Rice cooker multicookers can be extremely versatile. T-fal 10 in 1 cookers are currently on close out, in Bed Bath and Beyond stores, for around $34, with a coupon.

I have used mine for everything from rice to banana bread and brownies. It stews, makes soups, and casseroles, slow cooks, reheats, and bakes, I have steam/boiled eggs, as well as poached them. It can be used to scramble eggs and make frittatas and omelets.

Brownies and cakes work fine, as well, other quick breads. I have even baked biscuits in it. You do have to flip them to get both sides to brown.

It reheats frozen leftovers very nicely.

There are other similar cookers out that will work equally well, maybe better. I chose this particular one because of price and heavy, easy to clean inner pan.

We like our electric skillet. We also have a single electric burner for heating pots. We like to cook outside.

True in a welcome to reality moment. Glad you saw the light for me, LOL. :c in a back at U manner.

Another vote for the electric skillet. Or instead of the George Foreman, get the Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler which is rated higher.

Induction cooktops need the right kind of cookware, an added expense.

Only maybe. Have a nice compliment of cast iron already on hand and you are good to go as far as induction burners go. Still still haven't bought a CI Dutch oven (I'm thinking I'll pull the trigger this winter and treat self to one) but my 6 and 12 inch skillets have served me well.
Sidebar on GF products. Almost 10 years back the man bought a GF 8 in 1 to replace a dead toaster. Looking at it I said that I couldn't use ANYTHING as a toaster that required I read the manual first and into storage it went. Flash forward to now and the circuit board for the for the oven died. Decided to just buy a new stove which crimped my style for roasting interim. Pulled the GF out with much sighing and and read the manual. Easy to toast with and not too hard to roast and broil. Still using it a month later so the new stove remains brand spanking new for the new owner ( we are selling). Red letter marked my calendar that the man was right about a cooking appliance. Once.

Still doesn't make up for the late night TV ceramic knife set, juicers (yessssssssssssss plural), slider patty maker and frankfurter cooker but as is my wont I digress :p.

NuWave cook top is the way to go. It can store flat under a seat and has a variety of temperature settings.

I carry an induction cooktop that I got from Amazon. We use it both inside and outside. I bring it with me to New England each summer, put it outside and use it to cook lobsters. It heats up very fast and no steam or smell inside the MH. I use it more than my propane burners in the MH. Love it!

Induction. Can be used inside or outside.
We use ours inside more than the propane stove.

The Coleman burner looks like a winner. I have an electric skillet but I need something to heat up a big pot of water. Thanks to all. lizzie

We have one of these at the house for use when the power was off. We don't really need it now, so I guess the son will get it when he moves into his new house. We have gas stove in the house now.
