Observations

CanCookers exist someplace on the earth between crock-pot, rice cooker, inventory pot, and roaster pan. Does it work higher than any of those on it’s personal? No. Does it enhance the quantity of issues you may cook dinner at a car-camping location? YES. Not having to haul three or so cooking containers for boiling, steaming and low/sluggish cooking is a comfort I’m prepared to have just a few compromises for.

Not having one of many Can Cookers in my arms, I’m curious how a lot stress builds up with the sealed, gasketed lid and the only gap to launch steam. The producer reviews there is no such thing as a stress build-up and the lid might be eliminated at any time. The next video signifies convection cooking decreases time in Can Cooker.

The recipes positioned on CanCooker’s web site are easy. That is good for individuals who are lazy, busy, have children or simply don’t take pleasure in cooking day-after-day. Heck, they actually have a recipe for flan. I’m a pushover for Iberian desserts.

Recipes like their braised venison are kinda sus for me, as they don’t sear the surface of the meat earlier than braising. The recipe recommends “placed on medium / low warmth. and  cook dinner for 90 minutes.” I really feel like extra flavors and textures may very well be improved, however then once more… recipes are simply options.

That is one thing I’d wish to tackle my motorbike for a weekend journey, or out on a automobile tenting journey to cook dinner a stew or soup for everybody. May you think about bringing some time rooster and making a broth from scratch? That’d really feel fairly cool doing that away from residence!
