We are thinking of getting a halogen oven for our caravan.

I was wondering if anyone has one, how do you store it, as I am concerned about the glass breaking in transit

Hi. My wife loves the caravans halogen oven, she has produced some stunning Sunday dinners but beware of overloading the sites electrical circuit. We do check with sites and get get there approval.
As for storage it has never been an issue, just kept in its original box and stored under the settee.

We have used one for several years, firstly with a tent and now in our MH. Although we have a gas oven in the MH we find this so easy to use and more importantly clean, it is always first choose when we are on electric hookup. At around 1300w the only time we have ever had a problem with it tripping the supply was on one site in France which only had an iffy 6amp supply. We did store it in its box but now we just put it under the seat with the duvet etc. and never had a problem. Ours was only a cheap one, I think around £15 from Aldi and been very reliable and functions equally as well as a more expensive one we used at home.

In hindsight we should have got the one with a hinged lid - always looking for somewhere to put the lid safely when checking or removing the contents from the bowl

I have found one extremely useful for warming my spuds, I also try to encourage my wife to use it as a radiant heater to save gas when off the grid.

Now that I totally agree with. I usually have to stand there holding the lid while DW gets the food out of it, but thats only in the tent, at home the lid has its own stand. So in your caravan it might not be too much of a problem. As for power consumption, even ours which is quite large only uses 1700watt which is about the same as most fan heaters, so providing your not using any other high wattage appliances at the same time you should be fine with a 10amp hook up.

We have an Andrew James digital one with hinged lid and it's so worth paying the extra for, it must be our 4th or 5th halogen oven in 6 years.

Don't let that alarm you though as we use it at home too so rarely use the big home oven, would guess we get around 400-500 hours of use before they die and whilst one or two may have only been the bulb I'd rather replace a £50 item out of warranty and beginning to look well used than pay £15 to fix it.

Another halogen oven post.....

GET ONE!!

But maybe get one with the 'riser ring', the silver bit you can see in oven in Geoff's post. You then can do more with it at once...

We have two, one at home and one for the caravan. We wrap ours in the van in a duvet when on the move. Neither has a hinged lid.

The one at home came with a lid holding stand which we took to the van to use there.

And the lid for the one at home just sits on a cooling type rack when we need to lift the lid on that.

Damned if I do...
