 +==== crock pots ====
 +
 +[[food:cooking:crockpot|Crock pots]] (slow cookers) are functionally similar to rice cookers, but are used for low and slow cooking rather than rapid cooking.  For this reason the wattage is (or can be) lower:  75w-250w or so.

 +A crock pot with removable pot may be easier to clean but is usually heavier and more expensive.

 +
 +==== thermos ====
 +Thermos cooking is a method of saving fuel and dedicated cooking time by finishing cooking in insulated container.  Typically the meal is brought to a boil then decanted into the pre-heated thermos.
 +
 +> it's the most useful, cheap and easy cooking technique I've ever seen.  I've used it with a variety of thrift store thermos bottles, even a stainless steel [59 cent] coffee pitcher-like affair.  Haven't found one yet it didn't work with, and most of these aren't even stainless steel.  -- josephusminimus((https://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2276&pid=35283#pid35283))
 +
 +
 +Tips:
 +  * use a wide mouth thermos to make cleaning easier
 +  * preheat the thermos with boiling water before use.  If you want to ease the thermos into it you can fill it halfway with 1/2 room temperature water then top off with boiling water.  After that, preheat with straight boiling water.
 +  * Thermoses((thermi???)) can be found at thrift stores and garage sales, making for a cheap experiment
 +  * a canning funnel will make filling the thermos easier((https://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2276&pid=26806#pid26806))
