RE: Slow Cooker Test
Very, very interesting Mike, thanks for the detailed test.
Just one question.  I'm assuming that this was a static test, not done in a
running vehicle.  So, is it possible that the current available was limited,
especially as the voltage dropped?  And might the slow cooker achieve a
higher temperature with a constant source of the higher voltage it would see
in a running vehicle, like 13.8 volts or so?
But even then it appears that it does not reach a temperature for actually
cooking, would only be good for heating already cooked food, like canned
stew, etc.  And long times at such temps is not appealing, as you pointed
out.
