Can Cooker

[scn]

I recently let my curiosity get the best of me and bought a Can Cooker Jr. I was hoping to find something for some quick and easy suppers in deer camp after we come in at dark-thirty tired and worn out. I'd seen the ads, so thought it was worth a try.

We broke it in tonight with their recipe for the sausage and shrimp, which includes the red potatoes, fresh corn on the cob, and onions. All I can say is WOW! That was one of the best meals I have had in a while. It was basically a shrimp boil on your stove in the kitchen. But, IMO, since it was cooked by steam rather than boiling, all of the food was firmer and had a much better taste. The shrimp done by their instructions were the best I have had in a long while.

We will definitely do that one again. My question to you gals and guys is does anyone else on here use one of those cookers, and if so, do you have any favorite recipes to share for the cooker? If you have any good ones to share, I'd appreciate them as this was a pretty quick and easy deal for a really great meal! It would be great to find a couple of good recipes that can be prepared before hand and put in the fridge to plop on the stove when we get in for the evening. We already do some crock pot cooking which works well, but the Can looked like a good option as well.

Yeah, I got one for Christmas and it's been great. The recipes on YouTube or on the Can Cooker site are all good. I've done Brats with Saurkraut, apples, and onions several times as a sore lunch and at home. Another great one is Chicken Curry. The only one I had a complaint about is the Beef Stroganoff, and that tasted fine, just was harder to clean the can afterwards.

All I know of it is they sponsor Bowhunt or Die and I've seen (and smelled) their booth at the NWTF show. Sounds good though how much do they sell for?

Bought one late last week and had three meals from the can. All I can say is it's the best item I have purchased in a long time. Food is great and leaves plenty of leftovers to eat throughout the week.

Wife cooked chicken breast, corn, taters, celery, onions last night for 12. The cooker was crammed full to the top and it still did a great job on the breasts.

She has also done the creole catfish a couple of times, but the rack is only big enough for enough fillets for 3 or 4 people.

I think with eight people in my family that often cooks for more we would be better served with the bigger one. We're still experimenting and learning it, but I doubt I'd pay for a larger one. Jury's still out-from someone who uses pressure cookers and slow cookers daily I'm still figuring out what the advantages are with the can cooker.

Any recipes shared or links to recipes are appreciated.

Another quickie for cooking once you come back to camp with absolutely no clean up mess at all....if you have a vacuum sealer pre cook whatever you like and vacuum seal it effectively making it a boil bag. Drop it in a pot of boiling water long enough to heat it up and instant meal.
