No I am not saying that, the main problem I am having is that I need to
cook the potatoes longer lol, you would know if your family needs more than say a 2K leg of lamb. The vegies can stack up inside the bottom of the Cobb as
well as the top, on reading the booklet more closely you can put the stirfry attachment on to make the "oven smaller" and partly precook the vegies before adding the meat and the larger oven lid.
We are just two now and had a family of three girls who were not big meat eaters. Some teenage boys could probably eat the whole leg plus 8 potatoes lol.
The picture that comes with the Cobb shows 10 thin sausages being cooked on the grill, would that feed your mob? I would think its probably designed for an "average" family of four.
I would never have bothered about taking a roast away on a camping trip but other posts have mentioned how much there were enjoyed and so I put the Cobb on my wish list. I then thought the leg of lamb or roast would make an ideal ice brick for a couple of days in the eski while it defrosted to then be baked for dinner.
I was taught at school to preheat the oven before baking which usually I allow 10 minutes for so the preheating of the beads for 20 is no hassle. I think tired at the end of a day to put it on, perhaps use the frozen vegies as suggested by Lyn, add the meat after 1/2 an hour, then add tin peas or beans or frozen ones in foil later on. Means a good meal not much effort and all cooked in the Cobb. The beer damper was simply the beer mixed with flour and salt, took a couple of seconds while the lamb rested before being carved.
