How to use your RV oven for everything

This is a very complete guide to your RV oven for cooking anything you cook in your brick and mortar house oven.

I have not heard of anything.

Two things I have found, if I have the rack is at the lowest level, the bottom will over cook. To solve this, I'll put a small cookie sheet on top of the deflector. Some people use a pizza stone. This really helps, If whatever I am baking will fit I use the upper rack level.

Try this one out if you want success with a "test" recipe for your RV oven
Breakfast Casserole: Serves 8
8-12 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 - 16oz package/roll of refrigerated flaky biscuit dough (e.g., Pillsbury flaky biscuit roll) cut into quarters
1-1/2 cup grated cheese (sharp cheddar)
4 sliced green onions
6-8 slices of bacon cooked/drained in 1" pieces (sausages also work well, meat can be pre-cooked at home)
You may wish to add additional items (e.g., chopped chilies, sautéed mushrooms)
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2) Beat eggs and milk
3) Fold in the rest of the ingredients (make sure the biscuit pieces are coated)
4) Pour into a lightly-greased 9x12 casserole
5) Bake for 25-30 minutes

Instead of using a conventional thermometer inside the oven to monitor the temperature, I use a remote thermometer. These have a probe at the end of a cable, which attaches to a digital readout unit. The probe can be attached to the rack with wire, attached so the probe tip isn't touching metal. The oven door can be closed on the cable. The rubber door seal makes a tight fit around the cable.

Using this type of thermometer, there's no temperature loss, and subsequent reheating needed when checking the temperature, as would be when using a standard thermometer.

I've made the breakfast casserole that Hattie posted and it is delicious.

I have used my RV oven a lot over the years, even baked cakes that turned out great. Setting the oven temp about 25 degrees lower than what is called for seems to work well for me.

I just cook breakfast outside on my trusty coleman two burner stove. Hardly do any cooking in or on the stove with all the grills and stoves outside. More fun too. But that recipe does sound delicious!

Anyone know if that breakfast casserole can be assembled ahead of time and just thrown in the oven in the morning?

It's not often that we have that much time in the morning before our son turns into a ravenous monster. And he's a toddler, so "reasoning" with him is of little help.

Cook in the trailer? My wife would kill me.
In our old trailer I think we heated some cream cheese and chili dip one time in the oven and I got away with cooking a frozen pizza once because it was raining outside. Otherwise we cook outdoors. I doubt she'll even let me light the pilot light in the new trailer.

1) Food taste better cooked outside. Don't know why but it does!
2) I don't want to wake up in the morning and smell dinner still lingering in the trailer.
3) I don't want to have to clean up the trailer!

It's either grilled or cooked in an electric skillet. Or the occasional crock pot meal (great when you're camping, let it cook all day while your doing your thing) but even that is outside.

Maybe she'll let me get an outdoor oven?

We love the oven. Bake french fries, make Cinnabuns, Pizza. Use it every time we camp. But I also poop in my camper so I might be crazy

In answer to your question, yes you can. My wife will make this for Christmas morning when we have family over. She makes it ahead of time, cover it and keep it in the fridge.

Mmmmm Goood.......

My wife always makes up a breakfast bake at home and we cook it in the oven when we get there the next morning. We had to use a 9 by 13 pan with no handles on the side but it is a staple for our camping trips

The link does not work for me. I am a bit baffled by the oven microwave in our camper. Found the owners manual on line but still felt a bit baffled. When using the computer cooking on it do you use the glass rotating plate or the metal plate?

We're Just as crazy!

Poop in the toilet. Take showers. Cook on the stove AND in the oven!

We even (gasp) sleep in the bed.

Add me to the list of using all the facilities. You paid for it, might as well use it
But I do most of the cooking outside on a camp chef griddle. One for the size and to avoid the grease fumes

Cook in the oven!!!!! How's that happen? We either use dutch oven, microwave, campfire cooking, or outside grill. We've had trailers with ovens for 6 years and never used one of the ovens. It's great tho' for extra storage.
We do, however shower and poop in the TT. Lol.

Happy RVing,
Jeff

We're on our 4th trailer now and have never used the oven in any of them. But we do take advantage of all other facilities in the camper.

Our oven begins the trip stacked with bottles of wine, corks facing the oven door. It's a great place to hold them still for travel, as the round bottle is held secure between the grates. Then they get placed in the cupboard below the fridge once we arrive and the oven (complete with pizza stone for heat sync) gets used for the odd meal here and there. Make sure you always run your overhead range fan when the oven is on! (and make sure the outdoor flap is open!)
