Subject: Re: in search of (12 volt cooking)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
A small 12 volt bulb began shamelessly flickering above my head after
someone said they were looking for nifty gadgets for their vanagon road
trip. I assume they don't have a westfalia kitchen. A couple years ago
I was at a sale at an appliance factory that builds Nesco roasters. In
a sale frenzy I picked up some small 12 volt "out doors type cookers".
The boxes say use them camping/ tailgating/ boating etc. I have used
one of the broilers at work in my truck. It is pleasant to warm up a
sandwich if you've been working outside when it's 20 below 0
Fahrenheit. I have also used a 12 volt drip coffee maker during trips;
when the kids are sleeping we don't stop for coffee and risk waking the
little darlings. It's slow but works well in the vanagon.
I checked what's in my basement, made by "Nesco" under the trade
name Empire:
4 port-a-fry(mini fry pan w/lid).
2 port-a-broil( tiny toaster oven).
1 port-a-toaster(yes, a rudimentary 2 slice toaster)
So, there you go. You can cook with your cigar lighter socket.
I would be happy to pack and sell one or all. $14 each. all for $60.
new in boxes w/ instructions ( I think JC Whitney sells the port-a-fry
for $20 plus shipping).
