I posted about this little $50 job from Jaycar two weeks ago.
Having tried it out over the last two weeks I can now report it is a little gem.
It will heat a prepared meal (in a foil container you can get at any
supermarket) in 40 to 50 minutes and only appears to draw about 8 amps.
I heated a casserole the other night for 40 min, then popped two par baked rolls in under the container for 15 min and had a loveley hot casserole and two fresh, crisp, hot rolls.
The container chock full of Lasagne took 50 min (less
water content took a little longer to heat).
I made up a breakfast of two snags, a ham steak, scrambled eggs (all cooked) and raw tomato. Heated it it 40 min the next day and it came up a treat.
Two defosted pies take an hour (turn them over once or twice to get heat to the top and bottom) and they come out crisp but not hard and crunchy.
It's never going to
cook a roast dinner (it probably could but is simply too small) but it is a great way to heat food.
Hot chicken rolls, hot dogs, steamed dim sims, the choice is endless.

excellent review jimbo, we trust you don't work for jaycar, but it would not the first excellent little something out of nowhere and remarkably clever item come from them.

Paul,
No, don't work for them, just love some of their value products.
Buggerd if I know how they can put out such a good little unit for $50 (it was at Ray's Outdoors for $120). Guess Ray Frost likes to make a little more wedge.
And their little "breathalyser" is a pretty good unit too just quietly.

Couldnt you heat chicken on a skillet, or pan, or boil
water and make hot dogs on a gas stove in less than 40-50 mins?
Same as eggs and snags?
For somethings it would be ok, but think the gas stove would toast it on most things ya suggested...
YMMV

Convenience T,
Turn it on, stick it in, eat and throw away the dish.
And if you can
cook as
well me, a few fine prepared gourmet dishes are a delight.
No mess.
Cheaper to run than gas, the electricity in my 2nd battery is a free by product of driving.
Gas stoves, like
camp ovens have their place, but this is just another alternative. For $50 you can't go wrong. How can you heat a few pies for lunch whilst mobile, on a gas stove?
It's just another cheap convenience in this modern world.
Love it.

Well, lone wolf looks like he is putting his buns in a different oven from now on. Soon see which he prefers.
Anyway, saw 2 different 12v ovens in Autobarn , one for $50 approx & other a bit bigger & dearer. What a great way to prepare a hot meal. Probably need to keep
the supply on freeze in fridge or stop at the freezer section when passing thru town.
Leaving West Vic for
Cairns tomorrow for 2 months or whatever via
Mildura,
Tibooburra &
places in west Qld then return via coast part way after some fishing offshore with some up there & maybe the Cape. Who cares where, just break away & wind down & appreciate
home on return! WOW
Bigger problem deciding what to leave
home rather than
what to take!
