Omnia Oven. Your oven on the stove top. Ideal solution for boat oven, camp oven, and RV oven. Also known as a wonder pot.

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.

We are in our RV for much of the time, and did not want to use up our propane for cooking during the cold months. The Omnia does not work on an induction stove, but works very well on a gas stove -- no surprise there. I purchased an electric hot plate to use with the Omnia, and this combination works well. I have baked muffins, cornbread, cakes, chicken casserole, cinnamon rolls, etc. and been quite pleased with the outcome. When I made a cake, iced it and sprinkled it with colored sprinkles, it looked like a giant donut. I didn't hear anyone complaining, though! Really, I couldn't be more pleased with this Omnia oven. Food does not brown on the top as it would in a regular oven, but that may be because I use a hot plate as opposed to a gas fire -- don't know. Would I purchase an Omnia again? Absolutely!! In fact, I have purchased this twice. I made the mistake of placing a very hot Omnia on microfiber towels. The synthetic towels melted to the bottom of the Omnia, and could not be removed. :( So I learned the hard way to place a hot Omnia on a silicone pad or 100% cotton toweling. I did purchase the 2-pack silicone liners which makes clean-up a breeze. I also purchased the rack which keeps the bottom of food from over browning. The oven and its bits and pieces all fit in the bag that comes with the Omnia, so when I grab the bag I have everything I need minus the hot plate. The purchase of this Omnia is among the best purchases I made for our RV.

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.

My travel trailer doesn't have an oven so I bought this. It works pretty well. I just use it one day and burned some cakes, but it was my fault. I think I didn’t keep an eye on it the first time.

Our small travel-trailer has 2 propane stove burners, but we never cook on them. Instead we use a Gas One portable burner and cook outside. The idea of a stove-top oven intrigued me. I tried out several recipes at home to get used to using the Omnia. It's great for casserole or gratin type dishes, as well as baking rolls. The Omnia is made of aluminum which conducts heat exceptionally well (as anyone who's worked in a profession kitchen knows), and that's required for it working well as an oven. It also has the side benefit of being lightweight, good for taking along camping since we keep an eye on the total weight of the gear we take along. (Cast iron isn't something we take along.) The ring that sits on the stove discolored, but so what? Not sure that's a real problem. If you make casseroles, gratins, etc., use one of the Omnia silicone liners for easier cleanup. Don't expect the same kind of browning you get from a conventional oven. You'll get some, it just won't be the same. For me, no big deal. My trusty yeast bread rolls came out great, even if they were a little paler on top.

Cheap construction. Metal so thin it couldst survive shipping. To make product useful more apparatuses are s must to buy for it. As a stand alone it will not perform well Cheap construction. Metal so thin it couldst survive shipping. Would strongly recommend finding another option. Many reviews online have been negative.

This oven is wonderful. We love it. It arrived day before yesterday. My wife baked a roast in it the day we got it. Yesterday she baked homemade bread in it, and today we baked cupcakes in it. We baked everything on the barbecue. Everything turned out perfect. We cooked outside, because it was a very warm day here in Southern California. I know it is not summer, but we have had some warm days in November. We live off grid, so we don't cook in the house in the summer or on warm days. it would heat up our house excessively cooking in our wood stove oven or our propane stove. The only way we have to cool our house is by cross ventilation from open windows. We will be using it also when we go boating. It will be nice to be able to bake on the deck of our boat and not have to heat up the galley. We also like to go camping in the summer and will use it then too. This oven is perfect for our lifestyle. It is quite sturdy and I expect it will last a long time. I would highly recommend it to anyone who lives off grid, cooks outdoors, goes boating or camping.
