anyone had any luck with single ring bakery



no good for a chicken pie though

It's good for heating up Cornish Pasties, provided that you use a bit of foil to keep the pasty off the centre bit, and use low gas which seems to equate to about 170 dergrees.

I've used one of these for a couple of seasons, good if you like getting Tesco's moussaka etc, but annoying in the round shape means pretty useless for pies etc.

BTW you are responsible for me buying no end of metal plates, pyrex bowls and so on, trying to recreate another of your cooking experiments of plate and bowl cooking (butcher's) pies, amusing the wife by trying at home and failing.

Yet to boil a can of beans though......

do the beans thing

do the bean boiling

I am so confident that it will go well that I promise to give you a Mirror Offshore if the can explodes

provided of course you keep enough water in the pan

I promise you the can will not explode

as for warming things - the toaster is a great thing to use as a first layer between the gas and the pie

perseverence my friend

We have a 'double skillet' which works as oven, frying pan, ordinary cooking pan, pie warmer, pizza cooker etc.

High recommended!

+1 for the Double Skillet.

Well better than all the rest (song) is the one that we use called a COBB.

As in the barbecue? Can you use it on top of a stove as well?

Give us our daily bread (or FrayBentos)

Needs must, I have baked dodgy bread in a pressure cooker with the rubber sealing ring temp removed, but enjoyed far better 'doughnut' bread from those double skillet things when handled by capable blonde Scandinavians

Wot about a wee gas blowtorch to top off and crisp the FB pastry then? After all, all the posh chefs use 'em..

Also useful for lighting your Taylors paraffin heater.

Horrible thing- it uses gas!!!!

We do everything like that in a Remoska. No gas, no water vapour, no washing up.

 

[Blueboatman]

Re Parsifal.
Yup.
Out of curiosity I removed the foam insert from my diesel air filter one icy winters day and fired the thing down its chuff for a few seconds. Engine fired up instantly instead of after a couple of revolutions. Oooer!
So there you are, 3 in 1 Chefs Choice

note: bleedin obvious but best to crank a long unused diesel a bit with the decompressors and water inlet off, until the oil pressure alarm goes off, before starting, thus avoiding an 'oil-dry' start. Probably.

All you need is 230vac, which is not readily available at sea on a 28 foot boat.

But I agree the Remoska is excellent if you are in a marina, and we use it at home, most days

 

[sailorgirl]

We use a thermal cooker. The food cooks whilst we are sailing and it usefully sits safely in the galley sink all day so no risk of anything spilling when beating to windward. It requires some gas to get everything up to temperature but the saucepan contents are hot enough it sits inside the large insulated container and looks after itself. If we are delayed then no worries.
Rice or potatoes can be put in a top container to cook over the casserole, curry or what ever if required.

Apparently it can also cook bread but I've not tried that yet.

+1 (and an oven) but the Cobb is better

This season we are trying a Romoska, which is a large saucepan with an electric element in the lid that can be used to cook a wide variety of things ( including bread). Clearly it can only be used when you have access to shorepower but we have it as an alternative to gas, because up in Sweden , Camping Gaz butane is hard to come by and we want to avoid having to mess around with different regulators and bottles. Romoska is available at Lakeland and comes in two sizes. We also have a Cobb, which is a great piece of kit, pity the excellent custom briquettes (Cobblestones?) are so expensive, so we stick with the traditional barbie fuel.

 

[FWB]

The Cobb is excellent. We use it on the cockpit sole then after cooking sit around it like a camp fire !
