DSE 12V Oven...Cheap

lol sounds like a sure fire way to have your name listed in the Darwin Awards

thats very funny.... lol

LOL LOL, best one I seen in a while Wolfie. Good one.

Hey Jimbo, are you talking about frozen pies and snag rolls? and how long is it running to get them at a decent gobble down temp?

I intend to make it a permanent feature in the back of the ute with a bracket to slip into. I'm looking forward to hot food, pies etc on day trips rather than rolls and health food crap that the missus packs :)

Gajm,

I usually use defrosted Pies. Takes about 50min to an hour to get them STINKING hot. I don't like a pie unless it burns the roof of my mouth. Need to turn them over at least once during warming time.

Four pies, about 1.5 hours and rotate them every 20-30 mins.

Frozen pies would take a little longer, just put them on earlier.

Great for travelling, if stopped it draws about 8 amps, hard on your battery. Having said that my son Stevo had Apple Pies and Cream two nights at Robe. Sucked a bit out of the batt, 45 min @ 8 amps won't kill your batt.

Two snag rolls, even if fozen would be at an edible temp in less than an hour.

Love my food,

Cheers,

Fat Jim.

Hey Mad Dog,

A bit of left over stew, pasta, casserole etc in those foil containers you get from the supermarket is great. Heat it early enough and then ckuck a couple of those great par baked rolls under the container to bake and you're really laughing.

Any wonder I'm fat.

If you don't eat, you dont shi........

Cheers,

Jim.

I have no idea how long a frozen pie would take but from thawed took 30 min this evening.

Enter the cat no in the search box and it comes up...M4515

That looks exactly like the one I have Muddy.

Same cheap plastic clip LOL.

Heats up food a treat.

Was it the shaft that broke Jim or the plastic clip. Looks like it comes apart with 4 screws, not sure if the shaft is metal or plastic. I should be able to make up an identical clip from metal at work. I wonder about the hinges also.

It was the little "bar" on the end of the satch with the red writing on it. The "shaft" is not a shaft running through the catch, rather just a couple of plastic lugs moulded into the catch.

If you're going to make one, can you make two and I'll fix you up for it.

The hinges look reasonably solid.

Jim.

Sorry about that. They sold me one at 5.00pm last night. I didn't realise there was a potential problem with it.

Jimbo will know better than me and hopefully he jumps in here. Last night after 30min use the top of the unit was very cool while the bottom was warm to the touch. Yes no problem using them while on the move but over rough ground make sure it is restrained otherwise you may end up with upside down food.

The case gets slightly warm in places. The lid always stays cool as the heating element is in the base.

100% safe to use in the car while travelling. You could rest your hand on the warm spots all day, they never get anything like hot.

The ideal time to use them is on the move as you are getting power from the alternator. When stopped they do drain your batt at around 8 amps. Up to you to decide if you have the batt capacity to handle this.

DS at Dandenong had a supply of them today.

Cheers,

Jim.

Yes,

4 pies max.

Jim.

Yes it's a great little jigger Leigh, quick no fuss hot snacks in the bush is very appealing. The forum is a great vehicle to disseminate information and our collective knowledge makes us very clever...I think :)

Jim,

Don't get too excited. I don't think they'll do much of a job with Pizza because they dont get any heat from the top, therefore the chance of a nice browned top on your Pizza just wont happen. If your'e just reheating already cooked pizza it will be OK.

Also you will be lucky to fit more than two slices at a time. Possibly four if you rotate them as they warm.

Cheers,

Jim.

Hey old tiger, you will need a few of them to feed all your mob. Best not tell them about it, just slip around the back every now and then for a quick bite.
