New cooking toy for van (1 Viewer)

[mikebeaches]

Mrs mikebeaches is excited about her latest purchase for the van - a Lakeland Mini Snack & Egg Bites Maker.

Currently half price at £14.99. Dinky in size and mains powered, rated at only 450 watts. It weighs just 850 gm.

Perfect for making eggy bites or sweet bakes, all perfectly cooked in minutes.

Chocolate muffins came out a treat today and delicious frittatas yesterday.

I've included an image with a standard size Remoska to illustrate how compact it is.

A few of the online reviews are a tad negative about it's small size, but that is a positive for us travelling in the van.

Lakeland Mini Snack and Egg Bites Maker

Stuck for a quick and tasty snack? This easy to use electric mini bites maker will be perfect. Add your ingredients and close the lid. Includes Lakeland's 3 year guarantee.

Looks great. Can you cook normal muffin recipes in it?

 

[mikebeaches]

Yes, absolutely. And loads more things too.

Mrs mikebeaches - a keen and creative cook - is looking forward to experimenting with how many different dishes she can knock up.

Note the 4 cooking cups included are small, and therefore ideal for serving just two people.

Looks great, thanks for sharing

What about mini crustless quiches? Egg, bacon bits, cheese etc ... I sometimes make a large on at home and then section it up and freeze some, it is very nice - really a version of a frittata without the usual spuds! Are you gonna attempt some mini yorkies?

 

[Janine]

This has reminded me that I bought a similar pie maker in Lakeland's sale a few years ago. Must dig it out and get experimenting!

If it's anything like the Remoska, I've no doubt it will be used all the time...

Agree with Romoska, we use our all the time in van, that Wallas and Microwave.

Absolutely perfect for mini crustless quiches - we've had some already, wish I'd taken a pic! They were delicious.

Not so sure about the yorkies - not something we eat, but the boss has doubts about whether it would be hot enough? But guess it's worth a try...

 

[sweetie]

looks great so just ordered one.

Or indeed just one person.

daren't have too many gadgets as it is. Wish we didn't have a microwave though, it is just wasted cupboard space.

I've got one but there's no room under the sink for storing it and other Ronco and KTel gadgets bought and ignored over the years.

Even at 450 watts it's going to draw 40 amps from your batteries, we don't do EHU.

We've got one stuck in the cupboard too ... must dig it out!

If you want a 'quick' pastry you could try filo or alternatively pizza base bread mix as it cooks much quicker than normal pastry, or you could use sliced bread pushed into the 'cups' (similar to how you use bread in a Diablo toastie maker).
