-[personal note from secessus:  Electrical appliances like crockpots are plentiful and cheap at thrift stores.  Check the wattage on the bottom/label.  Removable crocks are somewhat less important in a vehicle context since we have no dishwasher to remove the crock //to//.]  +[[Instant Pots]]https://amzn.to/3LmlZMs are becoming increasingly common as [[electrical:12v:intro|vandweller power systems]] become beefier. While convenient, they are effectively electric [[food:cooking:cookware#pressure_cookers|pressure cookers]] + [[food:cooking:crockpot|crockpots]], both of which are much less demanding of power.((traditional pressure cookers are heated on the [[food:cooking:stoves|stove]]))
  
 Note:  instant pots typically require more power than vehicle-dwellers have on tap, but [[https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/7nyvos/instant_pot_yay_or_nay/ds5ntc6/|it can be done]] if one understands the issues. Note:  instant pots typically require more power than vehicle-dwellers have on tap, but [[https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/7nyvos/instant_pot_yay_or_nay/ds5ntc6/|it can be done]] if one understands the issues.

-  * Normal sized **crock pots** typically take 125w-200w on HI and half that value on LO.  Example:  Example:  [[https://amzn.to/3eWJJbH|Maximatic slow cooker]] (**170w**) and [[https://amzn.to/2QZRBRJ|Courant 1.5qt slow cooker]] (**120w**) with WARM/LO/HI settings.    \\ Some **mini crocks** have only one setting around 60-75W.  Example:  Tru stainless 0.65qt mini crock (**40W**).  \\  Large((typically oval)) domestic crocks can take 300w+ and also a lot of space.   Here are measurements for some analog (no electronics) crocks:  +  * Normal sized [[food:cooking:crockpot|crock pots]] typically take 125w-200w on HI and half that value on LO.

   * **mini rice cookers**.  Normal rice cookers run ~300w but some of the smaller travel ones use less.  Example:  [[https://amzn.to/3h7bt03|Dash 200w 1L travel rice cooker]] (**200w**).   * **mini rice cookers**.  Normal rice cookers run ~300w but some of the smaller travel ones use less.  Example:  [[https://amzn.to/3h7bt03|Dash 200w 1L travel rice cooker]] (**200w**).
