Hi

Well what are your ideas on the Kampa Roastmaster...we are starting off camping again after a 30 year break !! So its more glamping for us....and thought of getting a roastmaster instead of rings and small oven.....

It looks like it has 2 standard 600W elements, making 1200W. Looks similar to the argos one I've got. Excellent oven, but be warned, never put anything in the oven until it's upto temperature. When the elements are warming the oven, hotspot are created which can set things on fire. Also ready meal containers can sometimes melt.

I've just aquired an old mini oven with 1 electric ring on top & thought this would take up less room in the car than lugging my gas stove & bottle...is it the done thing to use an electric hob on a campsite - I'm a bit worried about the length of time the ring takes to cool down & poss safety issues if it gets knocked over or god forbid one of us fall on it. Does anyone else use an electric hob on site?

sorry to go slightly off topic..

I  went to get one today, had a look on the box and it says 900 watts, with 2 heat elements. Got the black one looks good. Put it on for 15 mins to get rid of the smell, heated up very quick, outside got warm, but i guess that is the same with most of them, very light. Iam glad i got it , going to use it next weekend when we go away.

I have bought the black one too, but couldn't see the 900 watts anywhere lol :)  Must be having a blonde moment (I am blonde - no offence meant to any one :) )  Away to check it again.

Have THINK I have decided on my first camp for this weekend and this mini oven seems perfect for my 6 yr olds chicken dippers (think she is turning in to one !)

Thanks rodderstroters and cindy007.  My parents have a caravan and want to borrow it too !
