Does anyone know the dimentions of the Micro-Cookers? I couldn't find that particular info on CC. Also are they made of microwave safe plastic? I assumed so. I have a customer that would like to use them in her camper so I am assuming she has a very small microwave. She is also interested in the Rice Cooker Plus, but my guess is that is too big. I don't have any of these, so any info woudl be helpful! Any other ideas on what could be taken in a camper? I thought the Collabsible Bowl but then thought it wouldn't fit in a camper fridge.

Jessica,
I just measured mine and they are:

Large - 11 wide x 4 1/2 high (approximately)
Small - 10 3/4 wide x 4 1/2 high (approximately)

They take up roughly the same amount of space because of the long handle on the small cooker.

Hope that helps!
 
Jessica - there is another thread with camping ideas - started by Melissa - Becky D had a great list - do a search or let me see if I can c/p it for you -
