Lynn and Andy, what size crock pot do you use? I'm thinking that my 6 qt would be too much for on the road for just the two of us?
Thanks
Mae

Quick meals
I keep a small (both 4 quart) crock pot and pressure cooker in the MH. When I have leftovers at home I freeze them to later use in the crock pot. Just pop the contents of the bag in the crock and a couple hours later an awesome meal. The pressure cooker will do a pot roast or chicken/rice in about 15-30 minutes. I pre-cut everything I can for meals before we go so it's easier once there.
Love all the ideas and suggestions. Keep them coming.

The one I use is only a one and a half quart. Works well for us. It only draws 100 Watts.

We also hated the way the gas cook top performed. I pulled it this year and replaced it with a double burner Induction. So much nicer to cook with and fast or slow whatever makes you happy. Ham and cabbage is also another great recipe for the crock pot.

In the morning I take chipped ham ketchup and a little chilled powder put into the pot. Put top on hold it in place with a heavy rubber band place in sink plug in set on high. 4hrs latter when we stop. Ham sandwich chips a cup of coffee we have lunch. Switch to a chunk of pork shoulder and bbq sauce and pulled pork. They also make a lot of mixes sold for crock pot cooking. Experiment and enjoy. ....Dusty

Easy food
Bush's maple baked beans, diced steak, a green and red bell pepper, optional jalapeño or green chilies, BBQ sauce. Top with diced onions. One skillet, quick and easy.

For those cooking in Crock-Pots while traveling, is that something you run off your inverter or does it require the generator?
Or. . .a really long extension cord????😉

We put the crock pot in the sink while we are driving and run off the inverter, just be sure your inverter is large enough to handle the crock pot. In a class A, B or C you can monitor what is going on, I am not sure I would feel the same way in a TT or 5er. In an A, B or C, your battery bank is recharged by the engine as you drive down the road, no need to run the genny. And remember after running a crock pot all day you will,be ravenous when you finally stop.

We put our's in a sink as well. I installed a 400 watt inverter for a bipap and found it to be useful for other things . My crock pot is 1 1/2 quart and draws 100 watt. Battery bank is charged by my truck. Never had any problems. One word of caution. Make sure of the wire size of charge wire of tv mine is 10 gauge so I am ok. My sink is stainless steel. I would be more concerned by putting a towel under it as some do.

We cook everything outside, usually on the outside kitchen stove. We do simple meats, usually steaks and burgers, grass feed of course. The creative part for me is the sides. My favorite is zucchini, as I can slice it into coins, wrap it in foil and grill it, or I can slice it thinly lengthwise and grill it topped with shaved parmesan and pepper. We do salad, too. Also liking a simple cucumber and tomato salad with oregano and salt - no vinegar. Also, some smoked sausage mixed with grilled zucchini and red bell pepper. For me it's all in the sides because veggies are garden fresh. I eat the healthiest when we're camping.
