My father-in-law got me a Can Cooker for Christmas and at first I was thinking, "ok, another thing we won't really use." I gotta tell you though, after the first time using it and cooking a big package of chicken breasts(I think 6?), 6 large potatoes, 8 small ears of corn, a pound of shrimp, and a bag of baby carrots in 45 minutes, my wife and I were hooked! We have the small one and just use it on our stove top.
