cmjantje Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 After years of fight with my very expensive multi oven, repairs that did not work etc. Buying a few cheaper ones which had the same problem with the temperature of the oven I finally found the good one at Robinson. I bought the biggest House Worth for a little more than 5.000 baht. They lowered the price from almost 8 to 5.000. There are three different, the 30 litre 50 and 70 litre. FINALLY I can hobby again with bread, cakes, pies and cookies. I can you advise this brand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extexthai Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Is this a mountable model or one of the free standing ones? I have been looking for an over as well. I even roughed out an opening in our outside kitchen for one, but haven't gotten one yet. Will it bake a turkey? If it can do that, it can do anything else I would throw its way. ett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I missed that bit, (I am getting old and need new glasses). For me to go to Robinsons would be about an 800 km round trip as I live in the central region not far from Khampaeng Phet. It would cost me over 2,500 baht for the diesel plus an overnight stay. With my luck this month I would probably get told, mai mee, we sell last one this morning and no idea of the next delivery or price.

fredob43 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 If you want something that work's Bill pop into Makro's and get a halogen turbo oven about 1,500bt might be a bit tight for a good size turkey but other than that it does everything. They mostly come with a glass bottom but they do one same price with a very thick S/Steel base if the power bit ever go's on the blink at least your left with a big S/S cooking pot. Google it (Halogen oven) and it give's you all the bizz even us plonker's cant go wrong, Believe me it does what they say. Hope your well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TongueThaied Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 There is no Robinsons in Phit'lok. However, we are all awaiting the opening of a giant Central World here next month (if on schedule). I do not have any ideas what stores will be in there, but it is HUGE. I'm sure there will be a fine selction of ovens in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave up waiting for a link and bought a 'Lucky Flame' Falang style oven yesterday for 7,400 Baht from a local store. Free standing, good size gas oven and 3 hobs.

I have one just like it but made by Otto also have a halogen one by Otto. The main problem's with the oven is that it only has Two element's at the top ditto bottom, take's 15+ min; to heat up and about 1h25m to cook a fare size chicken, roast potato's poor never crisp. If you want to cook a duck forget it. It never get's to the high temp and hold's it have checked it with gauge. As a grill to brown thing's off it's in a word crap. Have had mine for over 4 year's and got used to it's problem's, It did the job Ok just. 5 month's ago I got a halogen one mainly as a grill got fed up with chicken that was cooked but look insipid. How does it perform heat's up in less than 2 Min: cook's the same size chicken in 40 min: "Moist and brown" roast potato's a joy crisp the bizz. Thing's like Lasagne browned and spot on in 18 min. in my oven never brown unless you over cooked it. To sum up I now don't use the oven anymore, I just leave it the for the G/L to dust. The only problem I can see with the Halogen is that you cant get a "big" turkey in it, but as I'm not a turkey lover problem solved. Tip if you are only going to get one cooker get a halogen one.

Riggi Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks for the tip about the halogen ovens fredob43. I'd seen them before but just dismissed them as toys or gimmicky. I picked one up at Tesco in Mae Chan today. They were on sale for 999 baht (reduced from 1450 baht). It's an Otto CO-795. I cooked toasted cheese and Vegemite sandwiches this afternoon and it was great. I tried steak and roasted carrots and potatoes tonight. The potatoes and carrots were really good. Crisp and slightly burnt spots just starting to show and soft inside. (40 mins @ 250C). The steak however was overdone (I like mine medium rare and this was well done. But it was still OK (ie. it wasn't tough like cardboard). I cooked it for 15 mins as per the suggestion in the instructions (which were all in Thai, so was just going off the picture of the steak with the 250C and 15 mins written next to it), but next time will try 8-10 min and see how it goes. Using the vacuum packed frozen sirloin steak from Makro. I have 2 more meals worth from the pack so will try and get the hang of cooking medium rare steaks within the next 2 tries (sometime this week) Also looking forward to trying to cook some fish and also sourcing some frozen meat pies...

sceadugenga Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) I think it was from Northern Farm, I used get roasting beef from there. It's what we call a "topside" roast in Australia, see the "blade" running through it? It's a tougher cut and needs slow cooking. What I do is put a little oil in the pan and brown the meat on all sides. Tip off excess grease and add a little water or stock and vegetables... onions, carrots etc.. I see I have tomatoes in that one. Cook slowly on the stove top 3-4 hours then remove meat and make a gravy out of the inch or so of liquid in the pan. Goes well with mashed potatoes and green beans. If you can get fresh killed beef in the local market this is the best way of cooking it. Edited October 2, 2011 by sceadugenga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
