We still have a lot of backpacker mentality. There is a lot of empty space yet in our cabinets. And we usually use most of the stuff we take with us.
Our latest acquisition, the Crock-pot (real thing! by Rival) got used a lot on our first trip with it. Sweet Wife likes to "play with her food" and tinkering with all the stuff in the crock pot gives her something to look forward to doing. And we sat the thing outside since it was 95F out and the A/C was working hard to keep up!
And we wanted it small and cheap. But we found anything less than 4 quarts to be too small for Sweet Wife's minimal requirement that a whole chicken be able to fit into it. $16 at WalMart
