Figured out a new use for a slow-cooker. [View all]

Having lived without hydro for half decade, relying on a small solar system for basics I became pretty hydro-efficient.

If you have a small system, you cannot use toasters, microwaves and other high consumption utilities for very long without depleting your electrical storage.

In monitoring my tiny 45W system, I discovered I can use only high consumption utilities for a few minutes.

ok - I'll get to the point, questions will be answered.

A slow-cooker, most, on low or warm use less than 100W - a microwave - 1000+W

So, on a sunny day, storage would not be depleted much using a slow cooker to warm up food.

My slow cooker is large enough that I can put in a small bowl of previously cooked food, then just drag it out when the hunger hits -

no cleaning of the slow-cooker necessary, because I put my meal in there in a container.
