The Omnia Oven IIRC has cropped up in conversation on UKC discussions before, but not AFAIK as the main topic, only as 'I use one of these' comment on more general cooking debate, it may be difficult to find those posts, as the search facility isn't that sophisticated to delve into post contents. The idea appeals to me in some ways, as it's a great way of making the most of the electric hob on my caravan stove, and the 'free' EHU power rather than my expensive gas!
I've got an large Instant Pot electric pressure/slow cooker at home, which is great, but it's really too big for the limited work top space in my caravan. BUT I do use it at home to cook caravan meals .....
I've changed my approach to camping/caravan cooking over the years, it used to be more tinned/dry/convenience food for both ease of transport and storage longevity, whilst still basically cooking from raw ingredients, but got wise with experience.
I like eating 'home cooked' food when away in the caravan, rather than eating out all the time or commercially prepared foods, my 'solution' to that is I take frozen pre-prepared home cooked food and basically just re-heat in the van, the extras like pasta, rice, couscous are no great challenge to cook fresh, and most veg (frozen) will cook nicely in the microwave (or oven for roast tattys, chips), but the 'main' ingredient no longer gets cooked in the van. It's both convenient and quick to prepare meals after a long day out somewhere, AND minimum washing up!
I bought a camping compressor fridge/freezer, that I pack with pre-prepared meals at home, run off the car 12v on the journey, then off the caravan EHU on site, works perfectly for me, I can be self sufficient with home cooked food for well over a week. OK, it takes a little planning and time in the kitchen at home, but it frees up time when away, and never really find my self in that position of I'm too tired to be bothered to cook anything 'proper'.
I learnt that trick years ago from a pal who owned a pub/restaurant, we'd camp (tents, no luxuries of caravans/MHs etc.!) in a large group on a VERY basic 'pop-up' campsite in France, we'd take a small domestic chest freezer packed with all the good food he'd cooked in his commercial kitchen and a genny (no EHU on site) to run it, and we'd live like Kings, even with a FULL Sunday Roast Dinner with Yorkshire puds, roast tattys etc., whilst all around the 'peasants' ate dubious takeaways (hot dogs and burgers!) and 'beans on what passed for toast!'. We did live so well, we were the envy of the camp site! Did that for a good many years and more than proved it was a great system. No fancy cooking gear needed either, two burner stove and covered BBQ that substituted for an oven, later to be replaced by an all in one Kampa Roast Master Oven. Did have to remember to get stuff out of the freezer in good time though as no microwave to defrost!
