The Presto Nomad may look like a retro Igloo Playmate cooler but this handy gadget actually functions as a slow cooker made for travel. In terms of functionality, the Presto Nomad offers "warm," "low," and "high" settings and features an internal crock composed of nonstick aluminum. These features do not exactly make the slow cooker stand out from the rest but key feature of innovation lies in the portability of the device.
Taking the Presto Nomad on the road is as simple as flipping up the handle which locks the lid in place, tuck in the power chord into its slot, and its ready to go. Thanks to its compact size, the slow cooker can easily be stowed away in a trunk or carried by hand. The slow cooker is currently available in a 6-quart model and an 8-quart version with the only differences being in the carrying capacity.
