will be using them shortly as soon as I move into the new property.

Am temporarily in a motel housekeeping unit.

But still will be using hydro for some meals, and slow-cooking on a wood stove isn't feasible.

Nice thing about the slow-cooker is I do not have to babysit it, whether I'm cooking a full pot, or just using it for a low-wattage "microwave" sort of thing.

Solar oven I'm pondering, but again - as they get quite hot, I'd have to babysit it.
