Input needed, Portable 12v Cooler/Warmer

[RicheemxX]

Anyone ever use these portable 12v DC warmer/coolers? I'm looking for input on how well they actually warm something. They say 120* or -/+ 60* in ambient temp, but say I want to reheat a burrito or something along those lines do they have enough juice to actually get it "hot" or at least reasonably warm?

Typically I'd do a little manifold re-heating but on our ford there really isn't a good place to place anything to get it hot. I could probably make a one off basket or something else but I'm looking for quick easy and portable.

In case you don't know what I'm talking about I'm looking at something like this

It is basically a peltier doing the cooling/heating. Don't expect great results. It might keep something warm for an extra hour or two, but for actually reheating something, pretty much forget it.

Start work on your manifold cooker design IMO.

Thanks I kind of figured that would be the case.

I use one on the road all the time - if you put cold stuff in it will stay cold. It's not designed to cool like a refigerator at home.

Also once I bumped the switch to "hot" and it blew up my Pepsi's...

It got hotter'n in hell!

Also, you'll need one of those power sensor gizmo's from Kragen or somewhere that shuts it off before it wears your battery down.

Blowing up a pepsi or two would be bad, that could be a hell of a mess.

Well heck I couldn't really find anything in the way of a cooler/warmer that would work but I did find a 12v sauce pan 12-Volt Sauce Pan - Item - Camping World

edit: now IIJM or do they have the pics wrong 12-Volt Frying Pan - Item - Camping World this looks like a sauce pan and the other looks like a frying pan?

Damn, those prices are great compared to what I see around the web but I found something even better 12v portable stove

I used one of these for years it will cook pork chops and pretty much anything else.
