Excellent Camping Tool - But Hotter Than a Traditional Slow Cooker, July 19, 2006
This review is from: Coleman 9935-A50 Road Trip Heat 'N Serve 6-Quart Propane Slow Cooker (Sports)
This is an excellent idea and greatly expands menu options while camping. You have to remember it is not a crock-pot though, the 6qt container is steel and not stoneware - I didn't. Therefore, a crock-pot dish that took 10hrs on low was done in 30min on low with this product, certainly this is not the product's fault but owner error. A very good product, highly recommended for campers and tailgaters.

This is NOT a Crock Pot type of product, nor is it a Slow Cooker!!!!!, January 28, 2007
This review is from: Coleman 9935-A50 Road Trip Heat 'N Serve 6-Quart Propane Slow Cooker (Sports)
It may say "Slow Cooker" on the front of the item, but I assure you, it is anything but slow! I was looking for a crock pot for camping using propane and was told this was the item for me!
So, I made my Hungarian Ghoulash in it, glad that the night meal would be done in 8-10 hours when we got back from the beach. All I can say is, thank goodness my husband noticed that it was bubbling inside of the cooker a half hour later, or we wouldn't have had anything but charcoal left, had we left the campsite that day without checking it! It was cooking on low, and it was literally done in a half hour's time. So, keep in mind, if you are camping and you haven't tried using this product yet, it won't take long before your meal is done.
Sadly, my crock pot recipes were put away for the rest of that trip- the campground we were at didn't have electricity, hence why I wanted a propane crock pot.

NOT a slow cooker, October 13, 2009
This propane powered cooker can be useful for tailgating and camping as long as you don't expect it to be a slow cooker. Even on the low setting the chili we brought to heat up started to burn within 10 minutes. I just happened to notice smoke coming out from under the lid! Needless to say we skipped our chips and dip appetizer because the chili required constant stirring to prevent further burning.
Now that I know that it is just a gas powered cook pot I can plan tailgate meals accordingly. The fact that it heats quickly can be an asset as long as you are expecting it. It cleaned up perfectly once we got it home. All I used was a little Barkeepers Friend cleanser and a no scratch scrub pad. It looks brand new so burning something does not ruin the interior.
