Ovens

Discover the secret of the perfect outdoor meal!

A camping oven is, simply put, a portable cooking appliance designed specifically for use on the road or outdoors. Unlike a conventional oven, the one for the caravan or motorhome is lightweight, compact and designed to be easily transported. The ovens are available in different versions, which differ mainly in the type of energy source - whether the camping oven is gas, electric or wood-fired.

While gas-powered camping ovens are particularly popular due to their ease of use and even heat supply, electric models require a power socket and are therefore more suitable for use on campsites. Finally, wood-fired ovens offer an authentic cooking experience, but generally require more skill and preparation when baking.

Retrofitting an oven for your motorhome - what you should consider when making your choice

When it comes to finding the perfect camping oven for your next outdoor adventure, there are a few things to consider that go beyond price alone. For example, think about your camping style: are you a backpacker who values lightness or a vehicle camper who can afford significantly more space in comparison? The size of your travel group also plays a role - a smaller oven is sufficient for solo trips, but you should think bigger for larger groups.

Another tip: Pay attention to customer reviews and the respective brand reputation. A well-rated oven from a trusted brand, like the ones you'll find in our range, can mean the difference between a memorable camping meal and a culinary disaster. Think about the type of fuel too - do you want the simplicity of gas, the availability of electricity or the rustic flair of a wood fire?

How to recognize a good camping oven:

• Size and portability: a good camping oven should be lightweight and compact so you can easily transport it on your travels. The size should be sufficient to meet your cooking needs, but without taking up too much space.
• Energy efficiency and fuel types: The choice of fuel has a big impact on the efficiency of your oven. Gas ovens provide an easy and controllable heat source, while electric models require a power source, which can limit their mobility.
• Ease of use and safety features: You can also recognize a good camping oven by the fact that it is easy to use and has safety features such as automatic shut-off or heat-resistant handles to prevent minor to major mishaps.
• Cleaning and maintenance: Easy cleaning and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and functionality of the oven. After all, you should be able to enjoy it for as long as possible. Models with removable parts or non-stick coatings can be an advantage here.

Cooking tips for the oven in a motorhome or caravan

When cooking with a camping oven, there are a few special features to consider in order to conjure up tasty and successful oven dishes. Here are some special tips for cooking in the great outdoors:

• Choose small portions: As camping ovens are often smaller, cook in smaller portions to ensure even cooking.
• Try simple recipes: Start with simple recipes at the beginning, such as casseroles, simple baked goods or pizza, to get used to how your oven works.
• Don't forget to preheat: Even with on-the-go ovens, preheating is crucial to reach the right temperature for cooking.
• Adjust baking times: Adjust the baking times to the capacity and characteristics of your camping oven. Oven dishes may be ready faster or slower than expected.
• Choose a location: Place the camping oven on a flat, heat-resistant surface to avoid taking any risks when using it.

Accessories for camping ovens

A camping oven alone does not make a kitchen. The right accessories can significantly improve your cooking experience. Think about baking pans that fit in your oven: No one wants to bake a cake only to find that the pan is ultimately too big. A reliable oven thermometer is also a must to keep an eye on the temperature, especially for ovens that don't have built-in thermometers.

And don't forget the basics: heat-resistant gloves, tongs and maybe even a small cleaning kit to keep your oven looking like new after every use in the motorhome.

Care and maintenance

A well-maintained oven for camping is a long-lasting companion. And fortunately, the basic care is no more complicated than for an oven at home: keep the camping oven clean and free of food residue to prevent rust and wear. With gas ovens, you should regularly check the connections to make sure everything is tight and clean. And remember to put everything away properly after each use - moisture and dirt are the enemies of any outdoor appliance.

Oven in a motorhome or caravan - these are the advantages

A camping oven opens up a world of culinary possibilities when camping. For one thing, you can use it to prepare a variety of dishes that go beyond simple grilling or canned food. From baked bread to casseroles and pizzas: the possibilities are almost limitless. On the other hand, an oven for the caravan or motorhome offers a more even heat distribution compared to traditional camping stoves, which can be crucial for the success of certain dishes.
