Welcome!!!! Jason is phenomenal He answered several questions for me on my KZfaq journey. I appreciate his data-filled and honest reviews. Thanks so much for your comment on the video. Early on, I was looking for this kind of information and couldn't find it anywhere - so I started a channel to share what I was finding. I am so glad it was helpful to you! I really appreciate the comment! The campervans are great and we really have enjoyed ours - we downsized from a Class A that was 36 feet - I am the main driver and just couldn't really see some important angles between the mirrors and backup camera - after 10 years we switched to the campervan and have been really happy with it. If I raffle a campervan, I will be sure to post it! HaHa 😃 Katy

Hi Jason!!!! I was really happy to find it! So many people have the smaller power stations! The EB3A is such a little power house!!!! Katy

Thank you for such a wonderful comment!!!!! It is so nice to hear that it was helpful!!!! I think it is one of the best items since you can use it on different levels of power inverter and with smaller inverters also. It works so well that it has replaced my gas cooktop for my daily cooking. Thanks so much! Katy

It was surprising to me as well! It's nice when you have the power, so the propane can be saved for another time.

Oh THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wonderful comment! I love Ive - He is Fantastic!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!! Your comment made my day!!!!! - Katy

I was really surprised at how well it worked! We don’t have AC in the kitchen and it can get really hot in there! I will deuce using this both at base camp and in the van

They are super duper!!!!! Thanks so much for your comment!!!! PS I have another video coming out this week with these two in it! It will be up on Friday or before - I have it all ready - just trying to decide if I want to tweek it any more :) Katy

Glad it was helpful! Thank You so much for watching!!!!

I love them too!!!! Bought for the camper, but now using at home base also! Between it, the Instant Pot and Air Fryer, I am not sure I even need a stove anymore- except for the weeks long power outages we sometimes have on the winter. Once we have our solar installed next year, the NuWave will be able to be used more in the winter too! Thanks so much for your great comment!!!!! Katy

I so agree with you! The EB3a is such a little powerhouse. With the 600W inverter it can power so many small appliances I think the small power stations are overlooked so often for cooking 🧑‍🍳

And the EB3A is fast charging. You can juice it back up to 100% in no time.

@@BretSnyder Hi Bret! So True! Thanks for your comment and subscription! Katy

HI and Thank you so much for your comment! Yes I agree with your comment, and the soup was from refrigerated - my fridge is typically set at 36F. We plan to do a power installation on our 2007 camper and here at our base camp. There is little information about the amount of energy consumed by these small appliances to cook different meals. I decided to start the channel to share the information that I was gleaning, while doing the needs analysis for the future equipment installations It has been interesting to study how much energy is really used and ways to further reduce the energy usage. My thoughts were these....Since so many people have the smaller power stations, I like to show what is possible, and try to show the percentage and the actual amount of energy used, so that can be translated to different power stations or setups people may have. I struggle with whether I should show cooking with my larger power station or smaller ones. I have three - a Montek 1000 (100Wh), an EcoFlow River 2 Pro - 768Wh, and the Bluetti EB3A. i hope to have a 2000 ish Wh power station in the next few months, so I can cook other things and also show a typical weekend camping trip, running the refrigerator, etc. I really appreciate your comment! This is really great feedback! Katy

@@KatysCampKitchen Thank you for your reply, and I agree - it's valuable content to show how these smaller power stations handle cooking appliances. It's curious you mention the River Pro, as after watching many reviews, it's the power supply I've decided to purchase. I think it offers a sweet spot that fills the needs required by my weekend camping trips; and at some point, I'll buy a solar panel for my car's rooftop. I've subscribed to your channel.

@@edgarvelasco7130 I really do love the River 2 Pro. I find it gives that extra power and energy that I need sometimes over the small BLUETTI for a manageable amount of extra weight. I really like that it is over 700 Watts so that I can run the small 3 quart Instant Pot (which I use often). It really is in a sweet spot of size and weight for the power it provides and charging speed. There are not that many power stations in the 700-800 Watt range. Thanks so much for your comment and for subscribing! Katy

@@edgarvelasco7130 Hi again…. I wanted to let you know that I released another video a couple of days ago using the River2 Pro and making Clam Chowder. Just in case you didn’t happen to see it. Thanks again!!!😀 Katy

@@KatysCampKitchen oh great! I'll be watching that tonight! Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing your great NuWave induction cooktop experience! Initially, I used it only in the camper, but it has now become a staple at our base camp as well. With all the great devices I have found on this little quest, I am starting to wonder how much of a traditioonal kitchen we really need, since it is just the two of us.... Thank you so much for your comment!!! Katy

HI! Thank you so much for your kind comment!!!! I really like this cooktop. I actually have another video coming out for induction (hopefully Friday), for a Salmon/Veggie dinner, boiling water that gets used for hummingbird nectar and hamburgers - I am working on the editing now. The cooktop works very well on the higher wattage if you have a larger power station and on 120V. By the way, King Arthur Baking uses the Zo bread maker brand as their main breadmaker line (though they use the larger model a bunch), but I find their recipes good for the bread maker and just reduce them down for the smaller size. We live about 2 hours from the King Arthur Baking HQ in Norwich Vermont - It is like a candy store in there! They are almost always making bread with the Zo models in their store area. They have a fantastic cafe there also. It is a great place to visit if you are ever nearby!!!! Katy

HI Ive, Oh wow! Thank you so much. I really enoy your content and appreciate your support so much!

Thanks so much for your note! The EB3a is great! Katy

Fantastic! I am so glad it helped!!!! Katy

Thank you so much!!! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! Katy

Thank you so very much!!!

Thank you so much for your comment!!!! Glad to have you here! We will be adding a solar system to our base camp and camper at some point and we are trying to figure out what we will need for the initial step for at least short power outages. i have a new video coming out this week - hope to see you here! Welcome! ♥️ Katy

It works very well!

Hi! Apologies that I didn't respond sooner, but I just saw your comment with the holiday, etc. I just did an experiment with my EB3A and I was able to make mac and cheese - I didn't have the Annies on hand tonight, but here is what I did.... I will make a video over the next few days, but I wanted to get back to you more quickly. Firstly, I have the Pic Gold. I was NOT on power lift mode with the Bluetti eb3a. I was on 600 Watts which also showed Medium and 275 degrees). I was at approx. 900 ft altitude when I did this little test. I used a pan with about a quart of water and 1 cup of pasta and 1/2 tsp salt. I heated the water (about 4 cups) with the pot covered (when I thought about it near the end), and added the salt near the end. My pot was a bit narrower than yours from what i can tell just looking at your video. I don't have a box of the mac n cheese here to try at the moment, but the 6 cups called for on the box seems excessive to me - I typically use no more than 4 to 1 ratio of water to pasta. I guess the pasta may be a little bit more starchy, but I am not sure that matters much since the water is being poured off. Then, I added the pasta, stirred in and CUT OFF THE POWER STATION AND THUS THE HEAT (this is key). I waited 20 minutes for the pasta to rehydrate. Next, I drained the pasta, stirred in the cheese powder, salt and pepper and done. I took a little video, but I will do it more exactly over the next few days. I was just putzing around and didn't measure the water temp out of the temp (but it wasn't that hot), and I forgot to put an energy monitor in the loop. I had about 29% left and I think I started at 96%. (I was a little inefficient here, so we will see what it ends up being when I more formally do the experiment). I will make a video in the next few days and post it. I will try to get a box of mac and cheese tomorrow (depending on how crazy the traffic is). I have been working on another video (which should have been a simple video, but has turned into a monster), for a few weeks and I am stuck on it, so this will be a great diversion! FYI, I did a part two of this video where I boiled water (I was using a different power station though (around the 6:50 mark) Thanks for your comment! I will let you know when I have posted the video... Katy 😀

@mclaine33 Hi, I was able to make the same brand of mac and cheese that you have using the EB3A, with some modifications to the cooking directions. I did take careful measurements this time and recorded some video. I will work on the video compilation and hope to have it available on KZfaq sometime this weekend. It was a fun challenge! Thanks for your comment! Katy

@@KatysCampKitchen wow thank you Katy for that detailed info! I’m glad you got it to work. I’ll certainly take a look at the vid once you have it up! Thanks!

@@mclaine33 I’m so glad you saw my reply! Yesterday as I was heavily into the video edit, I remembered a video that I had seen a few months back. One thing led to another and more testing. Now I have found a way to decrease the power even more without sacrificing taste. I did the initial testing today and will be doing it formally over the next few days and then get a video out - probably next weekend given my schedule - I think the improvement in power efficiency is better to add to the video and thus delay it a few days, so people have few new ways to choose from. It is amazing to me how many methods people use to cook Mac and Cheese! Thanks so much for your comment!!!

Hi! Video is scheduled for release on Friday at 10 AM EST - I hope you like it!

HI! Thanks so much for your kind comment! I am using a ThermoPop from the company Thermoworks. They are great thermometers and have just released a new version of this one that has a larger display (the ThermoPop2 - 4.5 inch version). www.thermoworks.com/ (not an affiliate link) FYI, They do Not sell on Amazon - though you might see some there, and have a note on their website (they are fighting against counterfeits). I love their products and have many of them! They do have regular sales, so worth checking their website. They have a great blog also. They are located in Utah and you can order directly from them. Thanks! Katy

Hi! It stays constant and doesn’t pulse. When it reaches temp, it will cut off and on, but not pulsing - I hope that makes sense. Also, as you pick higher temps, the wattage increments up but stays consistent Hope this answers your question… please let me know … Thanks! Katy

Hi, Thank you for your great question! I haven't tried to fry yet but am willing to try an experiment! A couple of questions... Deep fry or shallow fry? What is the diameter of the pot/pan? Do you want to fry continuously or intermittently? How long do you fry each time? How many hours, etc.... Just trying to get an idea of how much energy would be needed for the cooking timeframe. I was using a very low setting in the video and a small power station. These can heat up faster and to a higher temp with a larger power station. If you can answer the questions above, I will try and answer the question to see if it might work. FYI - There are a couple of versions of this that are NSF as well - a one burner and a two burner. Katy

Hi Thanks so much for your comment! Yes, the battery does get drawn down, but luckily we can replenish with solar. I saw that BLUETTI recently came out with a battery that can be attached to the EB3A to give it longer operating time. I have a video on an inverter microwave that shows replenishing with solar while using two different power stations - it depends on the power station thermal abilities, but you might enjoy that video and environment- I tested them on a super hot day with close to 200 Watts of solar input. The results were interesting. Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment! 😀 Katy

@@KatysCampKitchen Thank you, I appreciate your reply. I agree with your approach, low wattage devices rather than propane or burning other fuels, is much better.

Hi Keith I will get back to you later tonight when I get home - it will be very late tonight A couple of tips that may help in the interim….. If you are using a power station, leave the cooktop unconnected while you power the cooktop. Wait about 30 seconds before plugging in. Then hit pause / clear TWICE If you are on a power station, select watts and toggle down to 600 watts and make sure you are on medium low. Then press start I’m doing this from memory and hope it works for you In the meantime, are there any lights when you power it? Thanks Katy😀

HI Again Keith, In a recent video, I had a demo of my cooktop not turning on like I thought it should. I showed how I solved the problem. It is in the mac and cheese video that is in the last 3 or 4 videos that i have posted. Check around time 2:55 where I show how to (hopefully) get yours to operate also. Here is the video link - I hope it works, if not, it is the mac and cheese video - it has the huge 3X Less writing on the right side of the thumbnail. Please let me know whether or not this works for your situation. I am happy to try and help you through it, if what I showed in the video doesn't work. THanks, Katy Heres the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y75ko6ed0bWwZIk.html
