I saw this 12 V "Stove To Go" on Alton Brown's "Feasting on Asphalt" show. It looks like a simple way to bake a meatloaf or cook a stew while I'm fishing. 190W startup, 100W while cooking, temp of about 250-300 degrees, simple disposable aluminum pan liners (they look like a bread pan). I'm going to order one for the boat. (BTW - the link I provided above is not necessarily the cheapest source - just the source with the most info on the unit.)
 
WOW... that looks neat... Just toss some BBQ or other items in there that have been pre-cooked and need a nice slow re-heat and GO...or keep going as it may be here. I like this.

A couple of thoughts:

1. Most oven cooking is done at 350, and this unit only gets up to 300 max (the way they qualify the performance I expect that it is more like 250 -- that's slow clooker territory.

2. Stop at a large Interstate truck stop and you will see many more devices of this ilk for sale.

The slow cooker part doesn't bother me - I've been looking at small slow cookers for the boat anyway. The idea of having a nice stew ready after 4-6 hours of fishing appeals to me. Slow boat, slow cooker, slow guy - seems like they all match.

I've seen other devices of this ilk. I just like the disposable pan aspect of this one. The less clean up the better.
 
Um, excuse me Dr. Roger, but aren't you more of a Bunsen burner type?

I had a powered tool box at work for a while, and I just had to have one of them 12v coffee makers. A full cup and a half of a coffee-like substance in only 45 minutes.
 
The oven device may warm something after awhile we had one and got rid of it. A microwave would be more useful.

The lunch box device I have heard may be good. I would double check to make sure.
 
So what do you cook in this gizmo? Must not take too long as I would guess your battery (not being charged but topped off to begin with) would have about 5-6 hours (8.3 amp draw). So maybe not a turkey but instead a cookie?
