I’ve baked a lot of things in my Omnia Stove Top Baking Oven and the results have been great. Many readers have asked to see what certain foods look like, and while I’m working on getting individual posts written about each one with specific tips, here’s a “photo essay” to show the variety of things I’ve baked and how good the results are. Click on any photo to see them full size.

Does your cookbook contain recipes to use with the Omnia Stove Top Oven? Or can I use boxed mixes for cakes and breads?
Carolyn Shearlock says
You can use any recipe or mix that’s designed to bake in an 8″ x 8″ pan or a half batch of a recipe/mix for a 9″ x 13″ pan (there are a number of these in The Boat Galley Cookbook). I’m also working on writing an ebook with recipes just for the Omnia.
Denise Kendrick says
Do you have a cookbook for the Omnia yet? I lOve the other one.
Carolyn Shearlock says
No, but it’s on my list of “someday” items!
Rox Adams says
I just tried my low carb flax muffins in my new Omnia. They came out better than my regular oven.
Carolyn Shearlock says
Yay!
Claudia Smyth Gilpin says
I would love to have one on our boat!
James says
Why not just use a Coleman stovetop oven or a Butterfly oven?
I have used the butterfly oven on propane and kerosene stoves and it works great.
Carolyn Shearlock says
Both the Coleman and the Butterfly are huge to think about storing on a boat, as well as so large as to be unstable on the stove. The Omnia is much smaller, being basically just the size of the pan.

The omnia looks just like an angle food cake pan. Wouldn’t an angle food cake pan work just as well?
Carolyn Shearlock says
The base plate and special lid with vent holes to retain heat but let steam out are what make the Omnia so very effective.
Evelyn says
Now that I have the rack insert, I use silicone baking cups in the Omnia for mess free cupcakes. That oven works for all my baking needs.
