Even though it's a glorified sandwich warmer- When I get my Marquis finished this year I'll have one on it.

Isn't that pretty much what any microwave is? I remember when I bought
mine they were sold by what size turkey you could cook in one. I
assume some people actually tried it ... once.
It gets things hot but it is not "cooking" in any real sense.
Corn may be the only thing it really does a good job on and even then
it takes some prep.

Sure thing.

I'm wanting something small and low powered that I don't need more than a 2000w inverter to fire it. I gave up on the 12v refrigerator though. Ice and coolers are cheap enough...


You have to be careful and figure out if that 700w is input or output.
The radiated power may only be half of what the oven draws and they
have a pretty big "inrush" spike. A regular breaker has a trip curve
that will let it take 250% for a fraction of a second but you do not
get that luxury with an inverter.
