    Was curious how everybody cleans everything..I am thinking about using a crokpot because I can make 3 to 4 meals at once but cleaning it could be a pain...I was thinking of getting a 5 gallon bucket for water and using this camping shower outside the truck to wash things like my blender or crock pot.

    I just buy paper plates, plastic utensils, and I cook in cheap generic Tupperware type storage containers. Paper napkins. I’m happy, no mess, just throw it away.

    The hotlogic personal portable “oven” heats foods to 165 degrees and no burnt paper or melted plastic.

    I put them in the dishwasher... :)

    Seriously though, when otr I used paper and plastic a lot. Cooking was done in mostly a lunchbox oven. I'd line it with foil and toss the foil when done.
    As for using a crock pot, simply get liners and toss after using.

    I take the dishes in the shower room and wash them in the sink with a sponge and Dawn. Even done it in rest areas. The important part is wiping it with paper towels when you're done eating so you don't clog anything up.
