Omnia Oven cooking review

An Omnia Oven cooking review seemed to be in order now that we've used it several times while camping for everything from cinnamon rolls to cornbread to a tortellini pasta dish. Cooking in our Class B RV (a 2008 Roadtrek 190 Popular 4x4) has been with our gas stove, camping stove, microwave, and InstantPot. But as Jessi says in this video, "Sometimes, you just need an oven." So we purchased an Omnia.

We use omnia oven on my sailboat for 3 years since we have limited space it is amazing and we absolutely love it. We don't have a oven on the boat so we use the omnia all the time ⛵👍

Hi from Sweden! (Omnias origin country btw) I just bought an Omnia today and I am excited to use it in my van. Thanks for the inspiration! You have convinced me that I do need to get the silicone inserts too, looks so practical.

Thank you for this video. I just got my class B delivered last week so for Christmas my daughter bought me this omnia. I am excited to try it out.

Hi I am truly thankful for your video’s

[mavicalvolant]

Thanks for the thorough review and explanations! I’m pretty convinced I need this for our upcoming year in a camper 🙌

Loved your content. You hit all the buttons of information and your presentation was spot-on. I RV 8 months a year between Georgia, Alabama and Florida with our Motorcoach and our Chevy Classic Conversion Van (the van has the EXPLOYER Company package but no oven. This is a clear answer for me to buy an Omnia Oven for the van. Thanks, SO MUCH for your great review of it and hands on demonstrations.

I'm glad that I've seen your video on the oven. I'm definitely going to purchase one, thanks.

I use a IBILI oven, basically the same thing but slightly larger and taller. It does not come with silicone inserts nor do they make them for the IBILI but the omnia silicone inserts can be used since they kind of fit.
I opted to get myself a set of four semi circular silicone inserts from another brand which allow me to cook two types of dishes in one go. As you may know, these types of ovens though compact produce rather large portion sizes for a van dwelling team of two so being able to make smaller portions is kind of nice to be able to.

I build my own van a couple of years back and apart from this pan I use several (not so common) cooking ware. For starters I cook on ethanol since I do not like gas and had a lot of trouble getting propane refills or swaps happening while in another country (which Europe has a lot as you may imagine) the second thing I use quite a bit is a home made heat retention cooking device called the wonder oven (youtube knows about those, various videos on how to make and use one).
The wonder oven lets you heat up a dish and leave it cooking while no fuel is used.
It is known the wonder oven is capable of cooking dishes like stews and even breads with about 10-15% of the fuel needed for a regular stewing process. And it is safe to use. You don't need to baby your cooking procedure. You could prepare the dish, heat it up on the stove, place it in the wonder oven and go for a 4 hour hike, an afternoon at the beach or little boat trip if you wanted to... Your dish would be ready as you come back. No worries if the pet has tumbled the pot, if the van burned down of if the propane has run out at some point....

I have used this type of cookers for many years and generally I am not able to pull out the heated pan without the use of mittens or the like, even after 6-8 hours... the heat is retained very very well and allows for those dishes which normally need many hours of simmering and keeping an eye on.

The third device which has become a staple of my cooking is a pressure cooker. How versatile a device those are... You can obviously do all kinds of cooking with them but what many people do not realise, a good dialed in pressure cooker can be used to can foods as well. Not that I do much canning while in the van but every now and then I come across a deal at a grocery store I just can't pass up and the only way to process the food is to can it.

Great Video...thank you for posting. I have added this item to my list for camp gear.

Great review and demo of this great little oven. FYI the insert is made of silicone. Not silicon. There’s a difference.

[Itsisawnotiseen]

Wish I could give you two thumbs up! I am a single guy, with camper, just bought the Omnia and have no clue how to use it. I do now. Thank you. And oh, by the way, you are too cute! Barefoot cooking. Love it. :) Thanks again.

[name.terrie]

Thanks. This was informative and helpful. Best wishes!

[cirrustravelers]

Jiffy! LOCAL! Been fav cornbread in FL my entire life. Love it

[cynthiamilliman]

I’m very interested in buying this product can’t wait to check it out again thank you

[bigtomsvan]

thanks for sharing. i was trying to decide what pans to put back in my van for an upcoming trip, I had seen Bob Wells review the omnia for cooking frozen fish fillets and was impressed. found your video and i think the Omnia is the way to go. Thanks

[kurtsteiner]

Nice one miss.
Advantage of cast iron is it cooks itself. Once hot you can turn the head off. And its done, easy to clean just rince in water. Much better than stainless steel or aluminium alloys.

I like the idea of that omni oven

[jannekje]

We love the Omnia! There's just so much you van cook in there! Pizza and calzone pizza are our favourites! We're planning to take some silicon cupcake cups, for making bread-and-egg muffins.

Really like your enthusiasm💫
Just bought the oven for our small caravan
Great info. Thanks 🙂🇩🇰

[elainefuehrer]
