Omnia Oven

I’ve been using this for a year now and love it! My cabin does not have an oven, only two gas stovetop burners. I like to bake so I’ve tried several different products like the Coleman oven and Dutch oven. The Omnia is by far the easiest way to bake. It’s lightweight and very portable. I’ve made bread, muffins, cobbler, brownies, casseroles and all sorts of things in it! The only downside is your food is Bundt shape but that’s fine with me! I don’t use the silicone mold because I decided I don’t like the retained flavors the silicone holds onto. The pan itself cleans easily. I will also say that there is a learning curve at first. I’ve burnt several things when I started. You just have to set the stovetop flame to very low. I add my own thermometer in it to test the temp. I also have gotten good at taking it off the burner just before it’s done and letting the lid retain heat and it bakes the rest of the way. That way you don’t end up with a burnt bottom.

I hesitated to buy this portable stovetop oven, thinking that it would be too big for solo cooking. Wrong. My home full-size gas oven (which takes 20 minutes to heat) is too big for one person. But now at home on my stovetop, I can get an oven's worth of heat in the Omnia almost immediately on one low burner. In camp, it works very well with my Trangia alcohol stove. Since the aim is to focus the heat source on the Omnia's chimney, once the base is heated a lower flame can generate more heat in the oven than blasting the base. It's economical and convenient. It heats up in a minute, cools down quickly, and washes up as easily as a saucepan. There are plenty of YouTube videos of people using their Omnias to make large meals - calzone, pizza, lasagna - and also a lot of meals from processed foods and frozen doughs. You can do that, but you can also use it to cook small meals from scratch. Or to reheat food, or keep it warm. Or to bake a single take-and-bake bread roll quickly. It lends itself to cooking creativity. It can fry onions for a stew, or boil liquids. If an oven can do it, even if you wouldn't heat up your regular oven to do it, the Omnia can. Well, almost. I wouldn't bet on succeeding with a souffle. If I don't get good results with a new cooking device, it's likely to sit unused on a shelf and eventually end up in a thrift store. The Omnia has a reputation for burning things, so I also bought the thermostat, silicone insert, and baking ring to ensure that food gets even heat at a suitable temperature. They work well. Although I'd recommend buying the two-pack of silicone inserts, one for sweet and one for savory. The Omnia involves a significant financial outlay with accessories. But like any home cooking device that you use often, it pays for itself quickly compared to the cost of eating out. For those who get good use from toaster ovens, multicookers, and similar kitchen devices, yes, there's quite a bit of overlap in function. My beloved Ninja Foodi pressure cooker/air fryer comes close to doing it all, but my deciding factor is that the Omnia makes itself useful in camp. It's also a very reassuring thing to own if you have a "prepper" mentality. And some camp cooks just need to know that we can bake without electricity halfway up a mountain!

This works as it says. I use it on a propane cooktop or cook stove; own the storage bag with handles, the thermometer & the rack. I use lodge brand Dutch oven liners, fold & cut a small circle out for the middle part. Easy cook just like using an oven, seems to me cooks a little faster depending on the burner level. Very happy with it, it's one of the best purchases I've made for camping purposes. I camp both with and without electricity, even with electricity & other appliance options I still use this. We eat fairly healthy so I'm actually cooking full meals with varied protein/vegetables in it. It's not as easy to clean without using liners, liners make it a much easier clean. I do not own the silicone liners but may buy eventually. I do like the rack (sold separately) to let stuff drip down below & it helps with not burning stuff. I like that the carrier (sold separately) has handles & a little more room so you can store your accessories in it along with the oven & it sits/stores better - the oven comes with a draw-chord bag though that's okay enough. The thermometer I find is a must (also sold separately) so you know your cooking temp & can sort of gauge what you're doing & it screws right into the holes in the lid. I recommend the oven, rack, thermometer & carrier...along with some sort of liners. If I was baking a cake or muffins/rolls I'd definitely buy the silicone liners for that. Pricey for the actual products but it is unique & it does work; it was one of those decisions that it was worth it to me to spend the money (in hindsight) because I really like using it, I like how things cook in it, it works. I found it similarly priced everywhere, but I like the Amazon fast shipping no waiting on it to arrive.

If you search on you tube for 'littlehouseofbeans', you will find a ton of recipes with quick videos, comparisons to other ovens, and how to videos. We have been using this oven for well over a year now, and now have two of them. We have compared to the Coleman oven as well as dutch ovens. For us, this Omnia is the answer. Its light weight, super portable, and really easy to use. Who cares if your food is round! The best tip I can give others is to cook 'low and slow'. Low to med flame. Forget your recipe instructions on the back of the box....and just watch your food as you go. Yes, its more money than other options, especially with the extra stuff like the silicone molds, but we think its worth it. If your RV or Boat does not have an oven, this is for you. If you're tired of dogs and burgers while car camping, this is for you. If youre a solo hiker with a single jet boil....this is for you.

My travel trailer doesn't have an oven so I bought this. It works pretty well. Holds the temperature steady after tweaking the gas flow. I did have some burning on the rolls where the touch the edges so I bought the silicone insert to try.

We bought this oven for use on our sailboat that does not have an oven and I can't live without home-made bread. I have tried all of the standard no oven baking techniques - pressure cooker bread, Dutch oven bread, frying pan bread (pan de campo) and was not satisfied with the results. The Omnia is expensive, but we decided to give it a try. It arrived on a cold, below freezing, day but I had a batch of dough on the go so I set up the alcohol stove outside in the garage, greased and sesame seeded the Omnia and put some dough in it (four fist-sized pieces) and let it rise in the Omnia. After an hour or so, I lit the Origo and put the Omnia on it to cook the bread. It was cold outside so I left it on the Origo for longer than I would normally. I did not really expect a good result, and I resisted the temptation to peek until about 45 minutes. When I did peek I was amazed to find some really good looking bread, cooked and ready. There was a tiny bit of burning (toasting really) on the bread that was on the inside, but the loaf shook out of the tin easily and 10 minutes later we were eating warm, buttered bread. Pretty close to perfect. So, we don't need an oven on the boat for bread and I am now thinking about buying a Grillex Brazilian Portable Barbecue Grill so that I can get rid of the propane boat BBQ as well. Although I am giving it 5 stars, I do think that it is expensive and that it could be made out of thicker metal. However, the results are so good that I can forgive it these deficiencies.

I haven’t used it yet. I bought it for camping and haven’t had the chance. All my fellow T@b campers love them and can’t say enough about them.

We have a boat and camper--both with no oven. I just recently purchased the Omnia oven, and have had fun and great success. The picture shows just 3 of the banana chocolate chip muffins I made. ( Used a mix for 12 and divided it in half to do just 6/batch. I only got 5, however. I think I put too much in each. Absolutely delicious! I've also used it to cook main dishes. They turned out great as well. However, I must give some credit to "The Boat Galley Cookbook," by Carolyn Shearlock and Jan Irons. This cookbook is a staple for all small kitchens. In it, Carolyn shared her experiences with the Omnia oven. Her directions were far preferable to the ones included with the oven. Also, in regards to how easy it is to clean, whatever you do, purchase the silicone inserts both for the muffins and the larger pan. Then, clean-up is a snap. (Good thing, too, because my husband is doing the dishes!)

The Omnia has performed as expected so far. Have made potato gratin , soup, meatloaf, and a brownie which burned but I expected that for a first try. It is very light and packs nicely into my rv.

This is a great oven for use on a gas stove top camping or at home. If you follow the instructions to grease and flour the pan it doesn't stick. So not thinking of getting the liner, save money, unless I find I want to use it for more than one baking item back to back. The oven is expensive for the material it is made from, which is the only draw back, you are paying for the innovation and it is a great innovation. Mostly used it for baking so far - cinnamon buns, banana bread, etc. and eggs, and it all came out great, moist and browned. I thinking it will work well with any "in oven" cooking. Cooking times are on par with regular oven but don't forget to preheat bottom plate first when instructed. Over all the oven is very useful and great.
