-[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]]))
