Steer and Stew With New Car-Ready Crock Pot

by Terrence O'Brien on April 3, 2009 at 08:10 PM

A Crock Pot for the Car -- Make Stew While DrivingIf you're a follower of food and cooking trends, then you've probably noticed that slow cookers and crock pots are making a comeback in a big way. There's nothing like dumping a bunch of meat and vegetables in a pot, leaving it to stew, and returning home from work eight hours later to a ready-to-serve meal.

But there's a big problem with these gadgets that we somehow missed all along; they're not mobile.

Everything these days is getting smaller, portable, and integrated into your cell phone. While RoadPro's 12-Volt Slow Cooker Crock Pot won't let you text-to-cook your meals (yet), it will let you make stews and braises on the go. Why exactly would you want (or need) to cook up a pot of chicken cacciatore from the comfort of your driver's seat? We're not sure, but if you're driving around long enough to cook a stew in your car, you may have a problem.

The RoadPro Crock Pot costs $30, plugs into a cigarette lighter, and holds a quart and a half of deliciousness.

We foresee a lot of road trips ending in soup burns. [From: RoadTrucker Via: Nerd Approved]
