Stove Top Oven
Those of you who have boats with a galley equipped with an
oven are truly fortunate. Oh, the smell
of baking cinnamon rolls in the morning, or a couple of nice baked potatoes for
dinner with that great steak.
Mmmmmm. Most of us though, have a
one or two burner stove in our galley (picture above) and while we can fry and boil to our
heart’s content…… there is something really nice about freshly baked muffins……
Take heart - - all is not lost - - there is a “stove top” oven
that can be placed above one of the burners on your stove. These ovens have a thermostat so that
temperatures can easily be controlled.
Usually they have adjustable racks.
Some have a door – others are top loading.
The one shown above is a Coleman brand…… and sells for about
$35. Others are more expensive - - but
none seem to be excessively high priced.
The one aboard Snickerdoodle is a top loading style with a handle on the
“lid” and the cooking racks supported below the lid. When I lift up the lid, the cooking racks
slide up vertically so that I can get to the food. This rack easily fits on my Orego two-burner
stove and I’ve had good luck with it.
A word of caution though.
These units don’t have insulation like your oven at home. So, watch out - - - the sides and top of the
oven get pretty hot.
