Overview
Presto designed the Nomad as a traveling slow cooker, with a swing-up handle and gasket that lock the lid, a wide low profile and a place to store the cord. The pot is PFAS-free porcelain enamel.
The locking lid and gasket target potluck transport, and the wide profile is meant to resist tipping. The pot and hinged cover are removable and dishwasher safe. Only a few heat settings are given.
Who it's for
Cooks who bring hot dishes to parties and gatherings will use the locking lid and cord storage. Households that want a digital timer, or a small cooker for two, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Locking lid with gasket for travel
- Built-in cord storage
- Detachable utensil holder
- Removable porcelain pot
- Three heat settings only
- No digital timer listed
- Wattage figure looks wrong
Performance notes
Three settings control how steadily the base heats the pot, and the heavy porcelain holds heat through long cooks. The gasket seals the lid for carrying, though a slow cooker is not a pressure vessel. The wide base resists tipping on a car seat.

Frequently asked questions
How do I clean the Presto Nomad 06017?
The porcelain pot and hinged cover are removable and the listing marks the item dishwasher safe. It gives no separate instructions for the base.
Is the Presto Nomad really 8 watts?
The wattage field says 8 watts, which cannot be right for a cooker. Check the rating label on the unit.
What is included with the Presto Nomad slow cooker?
The components list a removable cover, a removable cooking pot, a dry erase marker with eraser, a utensil holder and the base.
Is the Presto Nomad lid leak-proof for travel?
The description says a gasket and swing-up handle lock the lid for carrying. It makes no stronger claim, so transport it level.
