I got one last year for camping...works O.K. can't say I'm crazy about it though. Used it a few times and from my observations you need to use almost twice the amount of liquid in them than the directions state or whatever you're coking will burn and the whole meal has that burnt taste to it. Again maybe it's just me but that's what I've found out the hard way. Does cook a corned beef in a 1/4 of the time vs boiling it though. And also spray some Pam or similar product on the entire inside of the can, it had a tendency to burn things that are touching the sides and it was a S.O.B. to get the veggies off without oiling it first.Good Luck and let me know how you make out,like I said it might just be me and I'm open to tips.
