ParticipantInstant Pot Duo 7-in-1
Wow, folks, let me tell you about my culinary escapades with the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 while on the road in my trusty RV! If there ever was a kitchen gadget deserving of a medal for versatility, it’s this not-so-little helper. Picture this: an evening after a long day of driving, parked in that perfect forest spot. A ravenous hunger hits, and all I want is a hearty meal without the hassle—queue the Instant Pot!
First off, the Duo doesn’t just stop at pressure cooking—oh no—it transforms into a slow cooker, rice cooker, sauté pan, steamer, yogurt maker, and warmer. It’s like having a 7-second cousin, twice removed, and all of them are chefs!
For all my fellow RV wanderers who live by the “less is more” mantra when it comes to kitchen gadgets, this multicooker is a savior. No need for a separate rice cooker, steamer, or even a yogurt maker—trust me, you haven’t lived until you’ve made RV yogurt.
The real magic? The infamous chili cook-off championship with myself that the Instant Pot helped me win (okay, maybe it was just a personal victory, but victory nonetheless!). I piled in beans, tomatoes, spices, and, well, the kitchen sink—and within 30 minutes, I had a bubbling pot of joy.
My pièce de résistance: those deductions in my RV storage dilemmas. Space is premium, and this little powerhouse takes up the same amount of room as a sleepy cat—in other words, not much at all. If it sat on the RV couch, it wouldn’t even nudge the remote off!
Now, my loyal adventures, let’s be honest—sometimes iffy weather or rickety parking can dole out some challenging cooking conditions, but the Duo thrives in any scenario. Even when the power gets cheeky, this trusty pot springs back to life, picking up where it left off, unlike my disappearing left sock.
The cherry on top is the supportive online community (Instant Pot Everything), always ready to toss some recipe inspiration your way. You’re only ever one click away from discovering a new culinary delight.
So, if you’re navigating the open road and want meals quicker than finding a radio station in the desert, consider this multi-talented wonder for your kitchen ensemble. Happy cooking and safe travels, everyone!

ParticipantPresto 6-Quart
Hey there, fellow RV enthusiasts!
I just had to pop in and share my experience with the Presto 6-Quart pressure cooker, which has become my trusty sidekick during my RV adventures. Let me tell you, it’s been a game changer!
Here’s why I’m in love:
- Space Saver: RV kitchens are about as spacious as a shoe closet, but this little dynamo fits in perfectly. It snuggles into the cupboard without gobbling up precious space reserved for my secret candy stash. 😄
- Time Saver: We’ve all been there—arriving at a campsite famished and long past “hangry.” The Presto cooks everything lightning fast. We’re talking about pot roast in under an hour. There’s nothing like tucking into a hearty meal while your camping neighbors give you jealous sidelong glances over their instant noodles.
- User Friendly: Now, I’m no Gordon Ramsay, but this thing is so user-friendly it makes me feel like a chef extraordinaire. Just toss in your ingredients, set the heat, wait for the magic sound (not as magical when it’s your alarm clock), and voilà—dinner is served!
- No-stick, No-fuss: Cleanup is a breeze thanks to its no-stick surface. After a yummy meal, the last thing you want to do is deal with crusty pans. You won’t find me lamenting over dirty dishes anymore!
And if you’re like me, where internet connections are as rare as Bigfoot sightings, I suggest downloading some Presto-friendly recipes beforehand. When you’re parked next to a scenic view with no cell service, you’ll still be able to whip up a feast that leaves everyone—including Bigfoot—salivating!
All in all, the Presto 6-Quart has honestly transformed my kitchen-on-wheels. I highly recommend it to any RVers who want to elevate their culinary game while still having time to explore the great outdoors. Thanks to this trusty gadget, my campsite dinners have become legend—at least in the campground gossip chain.
Check it out if you’re hungry for an upgrade!
Happy cooking and even happier travels! 🚐🔥

ParticipantCOMFEE’ Pressure Cooker
Hey RV pals,
So, I recently adopted the “COMFEE’ Pressure Cooker” into my humble RV family, and let’s just say, it’s been a bit of a spicy whirlwind romance since the unboxing. I thought I’d share my experiences because who doesn’t love a good kitchen gadget story?
First things first, this thing is like the Swiss Army knife of the cooking world. Seriously. It’s got more functions than my neighbor’s overly friendly cat has lives. Pressure cook, slow cook, steam, sauté—it practically does everything except drive the RV itself. Note to COMFEE’: bumpy road mode would be a game-changer!
- Size: Fits perfectly in my not-so-spacious RV kitchen. It’s like it was custom-made for tiny kitchens, which is basically every RV.
- Performance: Quick story: tried making chili on the road. I was a little too ambitious with the spices (things got hotter than my summer road trip through Arizona). But seriously, it cooked everything evenly and cleaned up well after my spicy mishap.
- Ease of Use: The controls are intuitive, which is code for user-friendly for those of us who aren’t tech-savvy. And the manual? Didn’t even need it. High five to all my fellow “I’ll figure it out” enthusiasts!
- The Sizzle: Believe me when I say this gadget turned my campsite into a culinary showdown. It’s about time my RV kitchen got the Michelin-star treatment.
I once cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner while parked next to the Grand Canyon. Imagine this: a perfectly cooked turkey breast, velvety mashed potatoes, and even some cranberry sauce—all coming out of this magical pot. I almost invited nearby campers, but ugh, overspending on the groceries (again). However, in the spirit of sharing, I did offer the air a nice whiff of my culinary successes.
In all seriousness, the COMFEE’ Pressure Cooker is a delightful travel companion. Highly recommend it if you’re looking to up your RV kitchen game or if, like me, you’re just tired of closing and reopening your one cupboard while *wishing* the food fairy magically delivered gourmet meals.
Happy travels and tastings, everyone! 🍽️

ParticipantBest RV Pressure Cookers Buyer’s Guide
So, you’re on the hunt for the best RV pressure cooker, huh? Well, buckle up because, as a seasoned RV traveler with burnt oatmeal behind me, I’m here to help navigate you through this culinary camp of wonders. Let me tell you, having a good pressure cooker in your RV can be transformative. Think gourmet feasts at any rest stop without the need for three burners and a sous chef.
1. Size Matters
When it comes to RV pressure cookers, remember: your rig is your kingdom, and space is your crown jewel. You don’t want a behemoth of a device taking up precious counter space. Most RV-friendly pressure cookers range from 3 to 6 quarts. Personally, I prefer a 5-quart model – enough capacity for comfort but compact enough to not monopolize your kitchenette.2. Versatility is Key
Look for a cooker that does more than just pressurize. I’m talking sauté, steam, slow cook, and maybe even make yogurt if you’re feeling adventurous. Multi-functionality will save you from packing extra gadgets and arguing with your travel buddy over single-use appliances.3. Power Consumption
Now, let’s talk watts, or as I like to call it, the power goblins. Opt for a model that doesn’t demand a ridiculous amount of energy. You want to be able to flip the lights on without tripping a breaker. Models around 700 to 1000 watts have served me well without turning my electrical setup into a pyrotechnics show.4. Weight & Portability
One of my not-so-fond memories involves trying to heave-ho a cumbersome cooker up narrow RV steps. Save yourself the backache; aim for a model that’s easy to transport. Something under 10 pounds should keep you from inadvertently entering an RV strongman competition.5. Personal Recommendation & Experience
I’m a huge fan of the Instant Pot Duo Mini. This little wizard consistently proves its worth. It’s compact, user-friendly, and its ability to cook a tender pot roast in the middle of nowhere has made it a trusted companion on my journeys. Plus, it’s easy to clean – because who wants to wrestle with sticky residues after dinner under the stars?6. Safety Features
You’ve heard the horror stories – lids rocketing skyward in a burst of steam. Scary, right? Make sure your cooker has ample safety features like lid locks, pressure release valves, and auto-shut features. The last thing you need is an impromptu science experiment gone wrong while you’re parked in a cozy national park.Conclusion
At the end of the day, the best RV pressure cooker is the one that fits your needs and lifestyle. Prioritize portability, functionality, and efficiency. And remember, no appliance is worth a good night’s sleep lost over the perfect beef stew.Here’s to turning your RV into a rolling gourmet diner. Bon appétit and safe travels!

ParticipantHey there, fellow road warriors! 🚐 Ready to spice up your RV culinary escapades like a pro? Besides the awesome advice from everyone here, I’ve stumbled upon a few quirky tips that could elevate your RV chef game:
- The Secret Sauce: Add a touch of humor (and garlic) to everything you cook. They say the secret ingredient is love, but a good laugh never hurts! 😄
- Multi-Task Like a Champ: While pressure-cooking, challenge someone to a 5-minute dish washing duel. See who cleans up best without losing flavor focus—loser owes the winner a gourmet s’more! 🍫🔥
- Pressure Cooker Karaoke: Belt out your favorite tunes while waiting for your stew to bubble to perfection. Bonus points if you can match the pressure cooker’s hiss with your own rendition of “Born to be Wild.” 🎤🤘
- Travel-Proof Your Cooker: Always make sure your pressure cooker is securely stored. Because nobody wants to open a cabinet to find it trying to escape on a 90 mph joyride. 🚀
Embrace the unpredictable adventure of converting your RV into a mobile gourmet experience. Happy cooking! 🍳🥳
