I’ve had one of these for a while now. I keep the temp pretty low. So even though it takes longer to cook, the bottom of the food doesn’t burn. Also, something I learned about on another RU-vid video was to use a simmer / heat diffuser plate. Makes a lot of difference. Happy eating! 😉
I have had one for years in my van. My secret was to heat it up and then turn the flame to as low as it goes. I also cook in the van so I don't have to deal with wind and its cooling effect. It has worked out great for everything including mac/cheese, banana bread, and pizza.
I actually get most the the food off my dishes with some water and scrubbing and then come back with my rag with dish soap in it to get the grease off my dishes, and when I have to wash a lot I will set aside a bowl with water and dish soup off to the side. I am not doing this to save water actually, but it probably dose save a lot of water. One of the reasons I do my dishes in this way is because I have limited space, and enables me to do my dishes and break it up into multiple steps that I can take breaks between if needed. I am actually most often usually able to put my wet dishes aside after I rinse them and transfer them back into the sink when I am done rinsing them to let them drip while I dry them off by hand or let them sit in the sink and air dry if I need a break, and allows me to keep my counters in my small space 100% cleared for other things and allows me to get all the water up that I got everywhere in the process to keep my counters clean and dry because sitting water can cause a lot of problems with lime build up and corrosion and cleanliness issues even when you have good quality water and high quality surfaces.
Thanks for the video. Personally I will stick with my square Coleman oven. I can set it on an open camp fire. It's not too hard to clean with some oven cleaner and some water. It folds down flat for easy storage. I've had the same one for almost 10 years. Also I have a cast iron dutch oven that does very well.
Love the video. Always wondered if this thing works. I wonder if you replace the bottom plate with a cast iron flat pan if that would work…thanks for the video. Looking forward to watch the comparison of the bigger oven. 😊
