Roadpro Oven on Amazon: amzn.to/33VfzxX
Today we meet Tim who uses a Roadpro Portable Stove to cook some of his simple meals. He enjoys it a great deal for its convenience and ease of cooking. It's powered by a cigarette lighter plug and is great for warming up frozen meals, leftovers, and other convenience foods. It really is great for "bachelor" food!

I'm a corn bread fan, too, and here's a trick to brown the top...about 15-20 minutes before done, pull loaf pan out and cover top with foil. Flip pan over so top sits on bottom of oven. It does brown! Bon appetit!

@lindylund280 4 года назад

That’s brilliant. Hadn’t thought of that.

@nathanmoore8306 4 года назад

I just ran accross one at a thrift store that was brand new for $5...best $5 I have ever spent.

@zalleywaalley8227 4 года назад

I used to drive truck and had one of those; i used to make pork roast with potatoes onions and veggies, i would pull into a rest area and then open the windows and watch people. The looks on their faces when they smelled real food was precious lol

@charlesscott2337 4 года назад

I am a truck driver and they are worth the money for sure.

@johnwerner7194 4 года назад

you forgot the biscuts for biscuits & gravy.. 10 years using an im on my 3rd one. pull the biscuts out after 30 min. flip them back in again. they will brown

@cloudraker100 4 года назад

Long haul driver friend told me about them. He used them to save money, so did I when on the road making sales.

@secondact7151 4 года назад

Love mine. Paid for itself feeding three people ONE meal on a trip. Have used for three years. Here are my tips. Use a Crock-Pot liner. Essentially baking in a bag. No cleaning needed and leftovers have a bag. Pre pack meals ingredients in the crock pot bag and have easy to grab. We love two packs pre cooked penne pasta, 1 small can tomato paste, 1 can cooked spinach drained and one can artichoke hearts partially drained. Mix all together and drive with the oven plugged in 30 minutes. Quick to heat refried beans for burritos or nachos. Start cooking whole potatoes at the beginning of the trip about two hours. Thirty minutes before you want to eat add canned chilli and drive thirty more minutes.

@happyday868 4 года назад

I'd replace the aluminum foil with glass Tupperware that I can store later. Silicone is a pain to wash. A tip given by a stranger at the supermarket that over the years make me look like I'm a good cook...a can of onion soup, some tiny Potatoes, carrots and stew meat. No salt, no water needed. Keep on driving. The best home made stew by noon. You can also use onion soup mix if you want to save space and weight but add some water.

@blazefairchild465 4 года назад

As a small child in the 60s my parents made our first of many trips across country from coast to coast. One of my fondest memories is a coil my parents had, it went in the cigarette lighter spot & they were able to warm the baby s bottle ,make a cranky child some hot cocoa, or a sleepy dad a hot coffee. That coil was a Godsend to our family of four children under 5, my parents & Grandma ! Reminds me of how far we've come with our travel gadgets. Thanks for the review 👍

@MrOlson4863 4 года назад

They still sell that little single cup coil at the truck stops

@vendingdudes 3 года назад

@@MrOlson4863 I've had one of those could for over twenty years. Still use it now and then. Stick it in a can of chili or Chunky soup, stir it around for about ten minutes, done!

@acoupleofoldfartsjusthavin1339 4 года назад

We were truck drivers and many a meal was made in this oven. I fixed rice on the bottom, chicken on top of that and some veggies on top of that. Was a great meal for two. Made all kinds of nice fresh meal while we were driving down the road.

@isweatglitter5809 2 года назад

I bought one last night from a flying J for $22 with the 3 aluminum pans for free. I can’t wait to try out.

@ramblingrandy4113 4 года назад

I've owned 1 for years. Worth the money . I use foil or the aluminum loaf pans Bob described. The pans can be found at stores such as Dollar Tree ,etc. for about 3 to 5 pans for a dollar. Truck stops will be about a buck a piece. That's where foil comes in handy. I'm a trucker also.

@caryvielhauer9743 4 года назад

Used the Road Pro for several years and the cooking possibilities are endless. Meatloaf, biscuits, and on and on. Reheat almost anything in 30 minutes. Gotta try those cookies!

@terrybobulinski1549 4 года назад

I use one of those in the truck and you can use the roasting bags in them

@jeffleinard4519 2 года назад

You asked if I would spend $25 and I have to say not only would I , I did it twice, as my first one was stolen out of my car years ago. My buddy turned me onto this 12-13 years ago and i love it!

@garyhouston113 4 года назад

Put a nice beef roast in an oven bag with some potatoes ,onions and carrots with a little salt and pepper and it will cook to perfection.Used one for years when i was OTR.Great for heating up canned food too.

@SolarSailor1967 4 года назад

I use a small bread pan inside as opposed to the disposable pans. I had to clip the handles off the end to fit. And I pour about 1/4" of water in the bottom so it doesn't dry out breaded foods.

@tonyawilliams150 2 года назад

I use the bread pans also but mine fit nicely also use the water on the bottom Love mine had mine for eight years.

Have to say you gentlemen are very creative bakers.😉👍🏻

@NorthernKitty 4 года назад

I've had one of these for years now, and think they're great!!! I agree that they're best used while driving, as they're inefficient and draw a LOT of power. You're better off using a microwave or hot plate if your inverter can handle it when parked and running off solar, as those will cook things quicker on less power overall. I bought a rigid aluminum loaf tray at Walmart that I had to slightly bend to make fit inside the oven, but it lets me remove it for cleaning and so there's no risk of damaging the interior. (Trays work better than aluminum foil for things like soup/stews.) I'll pour a little water in it before I place the tray inside to conduct heat better from the bottom and surround the tray a little, which has the benefit of adding humidity to keep things from drying out too much.

@johnthompson7832 3 года назад

I work outside sales in a pickup. Really gets old and expensive eating out. I found one of these while in a Loves. Decided to give it a try. Its money well spent!!! I use it a lot, especially in rainy or cold weather. It makes great oatmeal from the packets with a small bottle of milk from the dollar store. Here is one that's quick and easy. Cheesy Chicken Spagetti 2 packs of ramen noodles not the seasonings 2 cans of sweet sue chicken 1 jar of tostitos salsa con queso Cook until ramen noodles are done. Happy travels!!!!

@gabbyvg.9067 4 года назад

A little tip guy's and gals,... Dollar Tree sales the bread pans that fit PERFECTLY inside 3 for a $1.00. I do spaghetti in mine ALL the time, hotdogs, chicken... set a timer on my phone and WAH-LAH!!!! We also have the butane stove that we bought before this one and we RARELY use that one anymore. This thing is perfect!! P.S., get some Walmart colorful Bungie cords. THE BLUE ONE* holds this together when the little snap handle breaks!

@webluke 4 года назад

If you want a better alternative to foil I use parchment paper. 200ft is cheap, more nonstick, more eco-friendly, and can stand the heat of any oven type. Don't confuse it with wax paper. I get mine at Sam's Club but you can get it other places. We have lined pizza pans, cookie sheets, loaf pans with meatloaf or baked goods with no problems and no sticking. I also think things like cookies don't burn like on foil. I'm not a nomad but if I was $25-35 for an oven is a great deal if you have the solar or are driving!

@halfazzhomesteader 4 года назад

I also do Pot pies

❤my RoadPro! Silicon Egg Rings are great for an Egg Omelets. 1 Ring for the Omelet and 1 Ring for Tater Tots or diced Hot Dogs, breakfast served. Refrigerator Biscuit Dough and toppings for fresh personal size Pizza. Love Fish Sticks in the RoadPro, not real crispy but still tastes good with dipping sauce. Reheats restaurant fast-foods really nicely!

I did a can of soup in a small loaf pan. Took about 25 minutes.

@dougc190 3 года назад

for years buying one of these things and my wife finally did it. I bought the Koolatron model since it uses 9 amps instead of 12 that the road pro does. So it might take a little longer to warm stuff up but usually in an1.5 to 2 hours I got piping hot food. Wish I had bought one years ago.I've been trucking 10 years and I've only had that for a year.I also can and will use foil on the bottom but most of the time I use glass Tupperware found at the dollar stores. Saves tons of money especially if you're a day cab driver, but even Long haul it's better to shop at Walmart than it is at the truck stop for food and if you got the real 12 volt refrigerator plus a 12 volt plugin style also from Koolatron (they work better than the igloo/Coleman ones). You should at least easily have food for a week or two if packed right.. sandwiches and salads get old real quick

@johnbergholm 4 года назад

I live in my van and I’ve been feeding myself via a RoadPro for the last year. It’s fantastic. I use the 2 lbs aluminum loaf pans to heat up pre cooked meals from Smiths or Safeway, or soups, beans, frozen meals, etc. I’ve even reheated left over burritos. I've heated water to make pour-over coffee or milk for hot chocolate. Last year I reheated my thanksgiving "doggie bag". As you said, this draws 10-12 amps so unfortunately it does not work on my Suaoki 220 portable power station which only outputs 5w from the dc port. I power it via the van's c/l port (engine running at least 50% of the cooking time). Thx for the tip on the cookies and French bread pizza I’m always looking for something new to try. Overall I highly recommend the RoadPro.

I forgot about how great Stuffed Peppers cook in it! For longer travel days fresh Stuffed Peppers are definitely worth making your drive time count!

@ricardostravels3265 4 года назад

(Food Grade Silicone Bags) are the way to cook with these "unless you want something browned/crisp". No throwing away tinfoil or scarring the surface at all. I have one of these in my Micro RV along with the Road Pro Water Heater, and Fry Pan - they work very well! FYI - I always place my food on the dash or out somewhere in the sun to thaw or even warm up to room temp before cooking - this cuts the cooking time in half and saves energy/battery power. Note: Runs great off my Jackery 500.

@morrisshepherd1637 2 года назад

Seems like a great oven thanks Bob

@takubrenda593 4 года назад

It’s great for reheating already cooked food like leftovers. I wouldn’t try to cook raw meat - low and slow may produce unfriendly/bad bacteria. I found a pan the right size on Amazon - no throw away aluminium foil. I raise the pan off the bottom with a canning jar metal ring - prevents scorching. Nice to have a hot meal ready to eat after driving!

@samanthadodd8112 4 года назад

Like the canning ring idea.

@isweatglitter5809 2 года назад

It heats up to 300 degrees. That’s hot enough to kill bacteria.

I think it is good for simple meals like you say if used right you won't have to eat junk food from fast food place and so on .

@Kaufeetimevideo 4 года назад

Replace aluminum foil with 'Parchment Paper'. Could the easy bake oven be turned upside down. Place your pizza on the lid and the bottom where the heat is on top. Would that help with the browning of the crust?

@isweatglitter5809 2 года назад

Parchment paper would be cheaper. That’s for the suggestion.

The price point is just right if I spent a lot of time on the road I buy 2-3 of them to make a good meal with the frozen lasagna. One modification I have done with the jiffy corn bread mix I substitute The liquid For a can of cream of corn.I cook it on my oval cast-iron skillet in the gas barbecue. It’s been five ++ years plus since I’ve made it last I can’t remember if the ratio is substitute mixture is one part liquid to one part cream of corn?? Might have to add a little bit more cream of corn for liquidity I don’t remember but it was great👍👍.

@crankyemoji2328 4 года назад

Dim Sum what a great idea thumbs up👍.Note beware the country of origin of the rice because Japan’s growing belt is in the Fukushima radiation area and they’re producing more food now from that radiated sector them before The power plant melted down and spewed radiation all over the world but primarily a lot of fallout that region. What is ironic is that you see in pictures of farmers turning the farms with all those 1 ton bags of radioactive material which are emitting Continuous pulsing radiation🤮🤬.
