I picked one of these up at the boot sale at the weekend, I have never use one and was thinking if any of

you have used them on your boats, they look quite interesting, Just thinking if anyone has used them how

do you get on with it

I thought about getting one when we had a campervan. and did some research. I found the hole up the middle a bit off-putting (although that is probably why it works, if it does) and couldn't justify £40+ to try it out, but would have bought a cheaper one at a boot sale in a heartbeat.

 

I expect that you have found the company website

I also found this US site which gives some recipes

Good find! I want one, but like Maggie, I cant justify the price tag. Currently experimenting with baking cakes in a large saucepan, on the hob.

There is an alternative that was mainly available at demonstrations at camping shows. They were available by post but that became a bit hit and miss for some reason. People on camping and motorhome forums rate them very highly, such that they were sought after and on the rare occasion that one changed hands it was done privately between forum members. I certainly never saw one on ebay despite having a followed search set up for months. I have seen reports of people baking cakes in them on camping gaz stoves.

 

A new company is selling them now, but the price again is near the £50 mark.
If we still had our van I think I would stump up for one of these.

(this is of a demo by the previous sellers)

(This is a video by the owner of a forum, and you can tell that they use their skillets a lot.)

 

(The old website www.doubleskillet.com still appears to be live but I would be wary of ordering from there due to reports of waiting weeks without a response and chivving having to be done.)

Thanks for the replies, hopefully I will try it our next week and see how it goes, just a few bread rolls to start with

I think.
