CanCooker
CanCooker is an updated version of the cream can that ranch cooks used to prepare a hot meal while everyone kept working. Simply add 12 ounces of a favorite liquid recipe for seasoning, load it up with meat or fish layered with vegetables, lock down the top, and then place it on a campfire or stove. Shoulder design creates natural convection for fast and even steam cooking without boiling away nutrients or flavors; 45 minutes after steam starts venting, the meal is ready to serve. Cleanup is a snap with soap and water. Same as the 4-gallon CanCooker, new 2-gallon Junior version features a highly conductive, thick-walled, 1060 aluminum body with wide-mouth vented lid and premium high-temperature silicone gasket, stainless steel handles, locking latches and rivets. Original CanCooker costs $89.99; CanCooker Jr. $59.99. Contact: CanCooker, Inc., Dept. FFG, 925 W 6th St., Fremont, NE 68025; (877) 844-2772; cancooker.com
