Anyone tried on of these?

In the summer we forgot to take gas with us and managed ok with a kettle and a one-ring portable camping gaz cooker, but we couldn't do things like Pizza etc which the kids like.

Thought about getting a slow cooker for my crimbo - but then spotted the Palson MultiCooker which seems to be able to be a slow cooker, a pan and even an oven to do Pizza or lasagne in... what do you think?

Do a search here on UK Campsite for "double skillet".   Similar piece of equipment and used by quite a few members so loads of advice available.

We were considering the Bravoska, but this is less expensive & seems to be less bulky. We had a double skillet in the past, long ago.. but of course the difference with this is it's electric.

We have a double skillet and it can be used for most types of cooking. We have cooked stews, heated up pasties, pizza and fried breakfast etc.

We just bought a single electric ring so if we have hook up we no longer need any gas at all, and if we have no hook up we can just use the same pan on the gas.

Just have to remember to buy the food to cook in it!

 believe Lunnie has one of these Palsons which she uses for cooking breakfast for the whole family, and says it's great.

Hi I have the American Griddle by Palson, a large hotplate, which you may place a pan on etc, cooks breakfast, steaks, and stir frys, use it in the home as well.

Hi I have just had a look at the multi cooker, I have the same as only by Russell Hobbs, and I use it for many things, when camping on my own this is what I use, for breakfast and cooker my main meal or reheating, it will do chips if you prefer, plus it will boil your water for veg etc, brilliant piece of kit, again I use this in the home.

More useful for me than the hotplate. courses for horses really, I also have the Remoska in fact I have most things, I collect anything to do with cooking and if our David asks aka Wildie I usually succumb and buy as I did with the Cobb BBQ!!

i have a large multi cooker i got it from lidol last year its fantastic for everything its huge but down side its not heavy just bulky and large glass lid but we keep it in its origanal box . i also use one at home most off us ladies over the  years accumulate varios cooking aids . as for double skillett this is the best peace off kit i think . we got our first one 12 years ago at the nec . unfortunitly it was pinched with are caravan . got another one 3 years ago and i use it all the time . ilove the way it cooks your foods its fantastic . i think you need all different cooking options to choose from like we do at home .

I can't find the webpage for it but I remember reading a review of the Palson multicooker...and it didn't get a very good write up compared to this one by Prestige. I have been looking at these multicookers for a while, and trying to decide whether to get one or a Remoska for Xmas

I'd rather be camping

I think that is the modern equivalent of my Prestige electric frying pan. Very useful piece of kit, just a shame the non-stick coating has worn off now. Still, it will do me a bit longer yet.

Hmm... sounds like its pretty bulky to transport.   

I have the 'volume' of a twin burner gas ring with grill to fill - or if we leave the BBQ behind the space that took up.

The car is so 'full' when we go camping that for something else to go in, something has to come out LOL!

I would say I also had the space the gas bottle takes up, but unfortunately as we forgot it last year and were still full that isn't true!

Hi have a look at the Prestige Cook N Steam which is identical but you also get two steaming pans to sit on the top of it which makes it far more versatile. I tend to be a bit of a gadget freak but find that a cook n steam and Remoska pretty well serve all your needs for in van or outside van cooking. If I had to choose just one I would go with the Remoska.

Cheers

John

My Multicooker is well over 35 years old and still going strong!! I am actually pleased to see that these are coming back on the market as a couple of years ago I had a few problems with mine and investigated buying a new one - couldn't find anything!! Even contemplated importing one from NZ where they are a standard bit of kit in any kitchen. But replacing the cable solved my problem.

Anyway, back to camping. Yes they're bulky to pack but worth every bit of space they take up - often end up packing a few towels inside ours. Would recommend the models with the high lid as there is more flexibility e.g. roasting a chicken. Use ours for very easy camping 'roast' dinners - splash of oil in the bottom, chicken portion per person, bag of baby/salad potatoes thrown in on top, a few roughly chopped carrots and parsnips, and some seasoning and maybe a few herbs - put the lid on and leave for an hour or so. The result is a succulent roast dinner which somehow tastes even better in the great outdoors, .. or better still on a day when the weather hasn't been so good and you need something warm, 'homely' and filling. Best of all, it's easy!

I've got a Palson large flat griddle and the quality of the non stick is excellent and much better than some very expensive better known cookware brands I have. So although I don't have the slow cooker I can recommend the brand.

We're now the proud owners of the "Evelyn" Palson multicooker. I chose this one because it was slightly smaller - but it's actually very large - I can't imagine how big the other one is. lol. We've used it once at home to try it out and it's brilliant - it will give us so much more scope when we're camping next year.
