I've seen heated lunchboxes that truckers use before, but I've never seen the heated saucepan. Awesome! I would have to be careful using these, as I wired my 12v cigarette lighter outlet for continuous power and could run my truck battery down if my engine isn't running.I use a butane stove to heat water for coffe and the occasional fried foods. But I now stick mostly to using my 12v cooking items from Roadpro. No concern for wind, easy to use and fast cleanup.. No worries of fire, grease or steam.
Fot most meals I warm soups, or frozen items from home like stews, chilli, spaghetti, etc. I bougt these two Roadpro 12v items a couple of years ago and they have held up well. Price is double what they used to be, but I noticed the sauce pan is 50% off right now at Amazon. You can also find them at some truckstops.
The oven is graet for heating frozen hand held items (bisquits, burritos, sandwiches, meats, etc) and for warming breads. It can be plugged in to 12v for about 45 to 60 minutes before stopping to eat lunch or getting to camp and the frozen food is usually ready. I buy the disposable aluminum trays that fit in oven and cleanup is done when removed.

The saucepan is great for soups, stews, chilli, etc. I wait till camp to use it to avoid spills on trails. It is non-stick and washes out easily with minimal soap and water ( heated in pan before washing.)

I also have the truck's stock 400w 120v power supply. I'll have to look to see if there are any other less than 400w cooking items. Slow cooking but simple.
Thanks, but now you have to find a 12v coffee maker!
