Presto 06017 8-Quart Nomad Traveling Slow Cooker - Portable Blue Slow Cooker for Camping, Road Trips & Family Gatherings | Easy-to-Carry Design with Secure Lid Lock

Where do I even begin. We were looking for a portable option to have meals / tailgates on the go. In doing research we came across the Pesto Nomad series of slow cookers. After reading some reviews we purchased on and started using it. This cooker is awesome.Features we loveLocking lid with the handleInsulatedDrip container on the back of cookerEasy cleanThe dry erase board on the frontWe have used this cooker multiple times and it has worked flawlessly. Our kids are in travel sports. We spend way too much time at sports complexes. We were tired of living off concession stand food. This cooker is being used to make team lunch or dinner. How do we accomplish this task?I generally prep everything the night before we leave. When we wake up of a morning, I get everything in the cooker at the house and turn it one while we get ready. When we leave, we move the cooker to the car. Remember this is a 120v cooker and probably will draw more watts than what your car outlet will provide. It uses about 250 watts on high. We use a battery generator (Bluetti brand) to power the nomad in the car. The food will finish cooking while we drive and play the first few games of the day.When we get a break in the schedule we tailgate in the parking lot with the them. All the players and parents are appreciative of the real food and not concessions again.Meals that we have made on the go.Walking tacos (tacos in a bag)Pulled Pork sandwichesChiliItalian BeefChicken Noodles soupetcThe Nomad will heat until about 200 degrees Fahrenheit then cycle off and back on as needed. Depending on what you have inside this can take sometime to reach that temperature.The Pesto Nomad is sturdy, convenient for travel, easy to clean, and is now one of our favorite cooking devices. We have the 8qt model to feed large groups. We highly recommend this slow cooker if you need one to be portable. YT Sports Dad Reviews for video
