Does anyone have a clue as to how long it takes to cook a normal sized banana cake (not a packet mix one but roughly the same size) in one of those bench top convection ovens?

We are about to head off for 12months tripping around. Hope to stay in free camp spots most of the time. Our van/4wd is set up with solar panels, batteries etc but we were wondering how most travellers top up their water tanks when on the road and not venturing into caravan parks.

To see the difference between the two, Google Annona Atemoya ----- Custard Apple. Then Google Annona Muricata ------- Sour Sop. Cheers, xina.

This is my own 'discovery'. Making a Boiled Fruit Cake one day [ on Cape York,] I used Sour-sops instead of Pineapple. Makes a very moreish cake. Lucky if it lasts a day. Cheers, xina. -- Edited by xina on Tuesday 7th of July 2009 06:56:32 PM

Mix the three incredients together to a s...

This is so simple but very yummy. While in WA at Walpole we were spoilt by our neighbours who brought us over some hot corn damper straight from the camp oven. I don't know the quantities but there were only 2 ingredients SR flour and a tin of creamed corn (and a little herb/spice whatever you fancy.) I w...

Out of choice I already use a camp oven quite often. After many unsuccessful outcomes I came across this hint which has been of great help with my cooking from chocolate cake to full roast. Timing is a breeze now: Test the heat of the camp oven by placing a small piece of paper inside. If the paper goes yel...

Half fill with chocolate cake mix, put the top back on the orange and wrap it in foil. Place it in the hot coals for about 10 mins. Remove, unwrap, take the top of the orange a...

A fresh fillet of atlantic salmon or ocean trout (say 150 -200 gms ) is about $6-7.00. This compares favourably to steak and is much more healthy with almost no...
