Coleman Packaway Oven

Product Information

Since I'm a sucker for a good breakfast casserole and they are so easy to throw together, I decided that would be the first dish I would try out in the camp oven.

The second point to make is that the temperature maxed out at 200°C in those conditions and that's on one of the most powerful burners around. I had a Coleman oven, just seemed to waste a lot of heat and took too long to heat up on my camper’s propane stove, wasting a lot of fuel. Having said that, the oven was brought back to life in Mongolia, where we so remote for a long time that it was very convenient to be able to bake bread.When first unboxing the oven, I was pretty surprised at how compact it folds up for storage and travel. I’ve got one, only used a couple of times (garlic bread and pizza) it heated up quickly, the food cooked but didn’t go particularly brown (a bit like cooking something in a microwave). I scrambled up some eggs and threw in some pre-cooked bacon, shredded potatoes, shredded cheese, onion and salt and pepper. For those cold and windy days I bought a welders blanket (a very inexpensive one) and just covered the oven, except for the door, and it really keeps the oven temp even.

I then can use the Dutch oven for many other cooking chores including over coals outside, or frying meats and eggs on inside of it’s non stick lid on stove or over fire.And since space is always an issue we don’t want to add something that we would barely use… for now. The Coleman Stove Top Camp Oven is designed to sit on a flat surface over a gas burner, so needs to be used with stoves that have a flat grate or rack above the burners. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. I get perfect muffins and cinnamon rolls when I bake them 100 degrees below the temperature I would use in a regular home oven (250 degrees instead of 350 degrees). I've had several and sold them on, they just don't do it for me as getting a constant temp is nigh on impossible.

Adding a Cordite/pizza stone in the bottom as a diffuser and another User suggested throwing a fiberglass welding blanket over it to minimize the wind effect on the temperature swings. It has been designed to be used with gas camp stoves, so can't guarantee its longevity or effectiveness with open fire or a rocket stove. If you are cooking for a crowd or doing something beyond the basic, you might need something a bigger and more conventional.This means the possibility of the aroma of cinnamon rolls filling the air, making fresh bread, cakes, biscuits and more.
