The fantastic "little" OMNIA cooker

[TallTrees]

Hi all ~ even if you don't care to cook much or even if you do,

thought you would like to see this cooker I bought about 5 years ago from a Chandlers Shop.

This little cooker, cooks everthing you could need ~ bread, cake, stews.  It can be used on boats, camping and at home.  I use it every week. Would really miss this little treasure.

Can be used on Gas or Electric (not induction) I did not believe that it could do so much.  The more I used it the more I was confident.  I have cooked bread, cake, stews, baked potatoes to name just a few things. 

There isn't a thermostat it is very basic and you get used to the time, normally it is very much like using an ordinary cooker. Something that takes 30 mins usually does but it can be checked on if need be.

Very economical too.

It is made in Sweden.  

This is a new one (mine looks used of course!)

This is it in parts ~ heat up bottom part before cooking about 3 mins. Fill the Centre with your ingredients and then put lid on.

This is how it works ~

The heat is well distributed ~ absolutely fascinating to cook with this tiny cooker with a very big range of abilities.

Or wear lead aprons. That's due to the possibility of causing infertility if you work in that dept and are constantly performing xrays. When I worked on the radiology ward, we had to wear a badge which monitored the amount of radium we came in contact with....

Hello @TallTrees ... Really like the thought of that 'Keep It Hot All Day' bag ... thank you for letting us know about economical cooking

My electric cooker top is full of dross, I too am reluctant to use the oven - I tend to use my little Daewoo microwave wherever possible

Hello @Anonymous

Thank you for your message.  I thought that idea was very interesting too. 

I like the idea of economical cooking.

I remember when my mother would do as much as possible when the oven was heated up.  There would be a meal and then fruit pie then those little jam tarts, a big cook up. Economical cooking to use the oven when heated!

I do not have a microwave (at the moment!)
