Are 24v compact ovens any good?

I think so if you dont have a microwave. If its situated where you can SAFELY switch it on 25/30 mins before you park up you will have a nice hot meal waiting, if it away from you insert a switch in the power lead on the dash, set the timer before you set off then flick said switch again 25/30 mins before you stop.

edit…forgot to add dont forget to stick the grub in first

I use one all the time,it’s connected to the battery by a heavy duty cable. I turn it on when about 20 mins from stopping so dinner is cooked . Best to keep engine runnuing cos it does use a fair bit of power. It does the tesco ready meals a treat and at the moment you get 3 meals for a fiver :smiley: .

brilliant,i put a shepards pie in at stowmarket,when you get to fxto its ready and a lot more appitising than one thats been nuked.there were 2 types looking from the side one has a square profile and one triangular ,the triangular one if you put in a ready meal you cant always close the door so go for square

Yes the grills not brilliant, doesnt really get hot enough, but the oven works a treat. Much better than a nukelowave.
