Thank you for this great review, and hands on use of this interesting road cooking device.

I got one this summer and tested camping - I give it a thumbs up! Also excited to try your recipes they look yummy!!

Perfect timing for your video. I just bought one at Overland Expo East. Can't wait to try brownies

It looks like it would be quite a nice oven to have with you. Thank you so much for sharing.

What an AWESOME review! This gives me hope about it again about buying one. I have hesitated since a number of reviews and cooking demonstrations were "sketchy" results. But YOU did the needed work and stayed on the temps and kept waiting before opening up the lid too early. 🤝 All good cooking essentials for your super success with it. Thank you Chef 🎉 🍽🥠🥂👨‍🍳

Looks like fun cooking with the Omnia. Liked your twist on pigs in a blanket. I can hear my dad's voice now, "Never put a sharp knife in your mouth." God rest his soul.

Ive had the original OMTIMUS one since the 80's. My favorite of all my stovetop baking options. Need to ge the new version. Great recipes

The omnia is slightly larger than the original Optimus one, which is nice. But, I like the blue paint on the Optimus better than the red...

Thanks for the video review...this reminded me I have the OG Outback Oven somewhere. It doesn't come with all these accessories but was nice to have on the trail...nothing like the anticipation of having fresh baked bread or something on the trail. Freeze dried meals are ok...but there is something to smelling your meal coming together.

I tried banana bread and blueberry cake using Omnia and we love the result we just need to keep an eye on it so it’s not going to burn .

Looked up a review for this, scrolled past a few and saw your name and knew it would be a quality, honest review. Thanks for elevating our meals chef!

Thanks for the effort in sharing.

I'm from NC (and just left WA state; I'm now stationed in AK and you have to head up here, Chef!!). That's not Carolina blue, thank God. 😆 And I do say that as a Duke alum, though my sister went to UNC! (Carolina blue is very close to the blue of the sky - hence the joke, "If God is not a Tar Heel, then why is the sky Carolina blue?") In all seriousness, I love that you reviewed this oven because I've been seriously considering one since I bought my teardrop trailer. Now it's a must have! So thanks!

Awesome Review. Subbed immediatly. Thx a lot for your effort you put in that Video. Looking forward to watch many more. All the best from Austria. Cheers, Mike

A little advice, don’t use a sharp knife on the silicon liner.

I have one and love it I used non stick spray on everything

Can't wait to try the raspberry brownies. Match made in heaven-choc and raspberry :)

That is basically a modern version on cooking in a Dutch oven. It looks pretty cool. I can do all this with my Dutch oven and my adjustable trivets over coals from the campfire. This looks to be a good alternative for using a camp stove instead of a camp fire or hardwood lump charcoal and an old-school Dutch oven. I am biased towards the Dutch oven simply because I love cast-iron cooking for base camping.

It is accualy not a new/modern method of cooking, the Omnia oven has been around for a pretty long time, atleast since the 1940's, maby longer, especially in northern Europe/Scandinavia 🙂

In a fire ban you have to cook with a canister stove only, therefore I bring only the Omnia, even though I car/tent camp is lighter and takes less space. I do like cast iron but is mostly at home.

Of course when you buy the oven you have to buy all the extra inserts that they sent you separately.. so it ends up being quite expensive. But it certainly baked and cooked very well for you.. The muffin tray seems very efficient..and for less fuel.. Maybe that the way to make the brownies or any baked goods apart from a loaf of bread..

I'm loving this channel. Curious what your take is on using a wok in the field? I got a 8" wok that for a single person has been handling all my tasks pretty well.

Of course. Small factors like you states will always effect cook time

The "baking rack" is actually a steaming rack

Can I be your camera girl? I WANT TO TASTE SOME TOO!!! Yummmm. I have the Omnia and even use it at home, easier to clean specially with the silicone insert. Thanks for making me hungry lol.👍🏻

Very informative video. This is a very cool product and you take the risk for us before we buy - thank you! Not sure if anyone mentioned, but maybe try pre-heating. :-))

I never ever preheat the Omnia and everything has always turned fine, if you have the thermometer you’ll see that as soon as you open the lid to put the ingredients it cools off rapidly, in my opinion, specially camping is a waste of gas.

Great video, I’m wondering how the cleanup was-especially the casserole.

If you use the silicone insert which I always do regardless of what I’m cooking, cleaning is a breeze.

You could stir around the dinner often to get it more evenly cooked faster..

Not much CT. You can steam bake but that’s about it. It works but uses up quite a bit of fuel

Omnia oven needs low, wide flame for best results.

You should pre-heat the base plate.

@heathertc9026

With this stovetop oven, you lose all the heat when removing the lid. Preheating actually just wastes your gas! It reaches desired temp in only 3-5 minutes starting from cold!

I would have put the nachos in the non stick vessel, also I guess you don't need to pre heat that stove , its magic that stove

I've seen these before and been tempted. Have you ever tried the Coleman oven? Thanks for the review!

Sure. You would need to keep the heat low and monitor it so it doesn’t burn on the bottom

Looks like you are set up for the duration. I have heard of omnias but never seen one, they look a good idea. But would like to see one in the flesh. I am in uk not usa.

I was a bit concerned when you were slicing the ham chef, you didn't have your knuckles folded under on the hand that held the ham. I thought for sure you were going to end up with a slice taken out of your finger.

It takes more chocolate than people realize to cause negative effects in dogs :) Look up the LD50 sometime, and compare that to how much actual chocolate is in a brownie - it's nowhere near that amount. If a dog this size ate the whole pan, that's certainly cause for an ER visit, but a small piece like the dog seems to have received is essentially harmless. To be clear, I'm not advocating for feeding chocolate to dogs, but it's not like giving them antifreeze either.

@@TheIamyourmother Thank you for fine tuning this. For so many years Vets have told us not to feed any chocolate to our dogs. I suppose it’s better in the long run to just tell dog owners no chocolate than to teach each person how to figure out dog weight vs chocolate amount. My long winded contribution, lol. Thanks again for the info.
