Looking for this stove top baker

[Capt. Tony]

We are hoping to track down one of these gadgets.  Looks like a nice addition to the galley ware.  Does anyone have a contact in the States for one?

Never seen one before. I just use a pressure cooker as a stove top oven (without the gasket of course)

Here you go Tony

I found it on ebay a few months ago don't know if there are still any on there

[Capt. Tony]

Looks like the Omnia is Omni-present.  It appears to be the only model that comes up on searches that can be readily purchased here in the States.  Carol was hoping to find the model posted in the picture because she says it looks more "substantial".  I follow her lead as she has done most of the research on, and outfitting of, the galley.  This baker has thrown up some road blocks though.  So, I thought we'd try posting here.

We originally had planned to "bake" in the pressure cooker being our galley stove only has a warming oven, but this option provides better air circulation.  It's worth giving it a try to see if it is something that will make it's way into the permanent galley kit, or if it's merit doesn't work for us.

Oh, when you said "one of these" you REALLY meant one of these.  You are right, they do look better made than the Omnis. I guess you will just have to take Carol to Europe to find it ;)

I saw those sometime last year and read quite a bit about them. Looks like you might be able to make one from a stove-eye liner, bundt cake pan, and a lid, if you could find them in the right sizes.

IIRC, in Yves movie it looks like he was baking in something similar.

[Capt. Tony]

I believe you are right on Yves using one of these, or something similar.  Until a couple of weeks ago, I often wondered why he was making bread in a cake pan!  Sure would be easy enough to put one of these together if I knew what a stove-eye liner was and where to find one.

And Tim...

I guess you will just have to take Carol to Europe to find it ;)

Another outburst like that and I will see about banning you! :o
Just kidding.. It's on our list.  Just not for a while.  Like after sailing.  For a while.

Second post in three days!! WOW, this board is getting BUSY!

GRIN!!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Googled it, "burner liner" is more correct terminology. Sea beelo:

[Capt. Tony]

Now I'm reading what you're saying, Capn. 

I played hookie from work today* so I popped in Yves' DVD and attempted to put winter astern for a few hours.  It turns out he was actually using a pressure cooker to bake bread.  What threw me off was the loaf that looked like a giant** doughnut, which would match the shape of one of these stove-top bakers we're talking about here.  But, the truth must be told, and, the truth is Charlie is spot on as usual.  None the less, we are going to give one of these bakers a try.

*I really was ill, not just calling in, "sick of it".
** It is my belief that all doughnuts should be giant.
