ST. GEORGE — From cooking eight foil dinners to juicy perfection while you leisurely cast a fishing line, to smoking a rack of ribs on a hunting trip, this portable cooker may change how you eat outdoors.
Aubree Ninow and her husband Ryan Ninow, of St. George, partnered with his parents Fred and Staci Ninow to create RockPot, a portable cooker that can be used for camping or hunting trips, emergency preparedness and more. While the Rockpot can be used just like a crockpot, there's no need for electricity or the purchase of propane.
"If you're familiar with cooking with a crockpot or a Dutch oven, it's basically like a crockpot and a Dutch oven that had a nice little baby," Aubree Ninow said.
Whether it's chicken fajita soup or Dr. Pepper pulled pork, the cooking possibilities don't end with slow cooker recipes. RockPot also can be used for baking desserts like peach cobbler and cinnamon monkey bread, she said.
RockPot also smokes meats on the go in six to eight hours with the use of wood pellets or woodchips and the provided inner rack. It then continues to keep food warm for eight to 10 hours. With a vacuum seal and an outside that's cool to the touch, users can throw it in the back of a truck without worrying about burns or leaking.
"If you don't have a way to cook food for your family, and you have the means to do a fire, then you have the means to cook," Ninow said.
