Can anyone recommend a low voltage slow cooker suitable for meals for two? I would feel safer with a cooker fitted with a timer.
Thanks,

assuming you mean low voltage (12v) and not low wattage........while they are available, i certainly wouldn't recommend any 12v slow cooker.
a regular 230v one will be cooking for hours on end so a 12v one will be the same.....resulting in a flat battery in a short time.
in my opinion this Link Removed is a much better idea.
i don't own one but have seen it in action at one of the motorhome shows.
simply stick the ingredients in the inner pot, bring to the boil on the hob, place the inner pot in the outer pot and fit the lid...it keeps cooking without any power input.
180watts on 230v hookup is very low power...around 3/4 of an amp.Just a thought, would we still have a problem whilst on EHU, if we had nothing else on at the same time?

you could prepare the meal at breakfast, secure the pot and drive all day then have a ready cooked meal at tea time.
The one I use is not identical to Mr D's thermal pot but works the same. It is called a Dream Pot http://www.dreampot.com.au/. Stupid name but works well I bought mine at Stratford, I got the small one.Jane

You need to be a bit careful what 230 volt mains cooking equipment you use even on a hook-up. Any type of slow cooker should be fine, because as others have mentioned, they do not require a great deal of power. But campsite hookups do vary as to what current they provide. Normally, in the UK, it's in the region of 10 - 16 amps. However on the continent, it is not unusual to have only 6 amps available and occasionally less than that. On older smaller sites in France, for example, you might be faced with as little as 3 amps - and in fact at one place we stayed last year it was only 2 amps! Only any good for trickle charging the battery and running a small fridge.Thank you Bryan. So, just so I'm understanding this, if it had a portable electric mini oven, that wouldn't really be any different than using a plug-in slow cooker the original person was asking about?
My current (newbie) understanding is that when not hooked up, I can only use low voltage appliances, but when hooked up I could use appliances (slow cooker or whatever) like I can at home?
Sorry that these are basic questions! Thank you.
