Came to learn how to broil...learned how to broil. Thank you!
You're welcome! Happy broiling
I added a digital thermometer to my RV oven. It's called a barbeque thermometer and is normally used to monitor the interior temp of meats on the grill but it works equally well inside the RV oven. The metal cable comes through the door gasket just fine. The one I got is a bluetooth so I can see the oven temp on my phone in real time. Brand is Govee from Amazon. There are others that have a direct display but I prefer having the temp come to me rather than going to the oven to see the temp. I also use a conventual oven thermometer but with the barbeque thermometer, I don't have to open the oven to know the accurate temp. I bake artisan sourdough bread 2 - 3 times a week in mine for people here in my RV park.
That's a terrific idea! I'm going to use that, pretty sure I have one in my gadgets drawer at home.
Great video - I also did not realize the bottom is a broiler despite growing up with ovens that were exactly like that! I have used my RV oven a lot (the sales guy pointed out that newer rigs were being made without them) to bake a Premade lasagna while we relax outside, scones for breakfast (also frozen and ready to plop in the oven in the morning) and did notice it takes much longer to cook. We have the food thermometers, but the temp gauge is a good idea as well. We boondock with some frequency and while we have a generator, using propane helps!
We just got an RV & you really helped me with the oven issue. Thank you💚
Just bought a camper and this has been a very helpful video!
Thank you! Looking forward to our first bake this weekend!
Great tips, thank you. We have been rving for 10 years now and have never been happy with food in my oven. I recently heard of the pizza some idea so I am going to try that but I never thought of getting a thermometer for inside! That will be a big help. 🥰
Great video. Thank you. You seem like very fun loving people. I appreciate that you took the time to share your experiences.
Thank you! Had no idea the bottom was for the broiler!!! Amazing
What a great video.. thank you for the tips.
I was actually complaining last week about not having a broiler. well it turns out we do.. Gracias!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching and happy broiling!
Thank you! I use mine for storage but after what you showed me , I am going to try a casserole!
Awesome tips! Added an oven thermometer to my RV shopping list!
That was very informational. I've been struggling with baking and broiling in my rv. This was so helpful!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing your expertise! I've had an RV forever and have avoided using the oven because everything burns and I never could find where to broil. Can't wait to get me a pizza stone and start baking!
Thanks for the tips!! Looks like a pizza stone and some new pans (sans-handles) will be needed when we move into our RV soon :)
Great Tips - I didn't know about the broiler part either ! Thanx
You're welcome! Happy broiling. :)
I didn’t know I had a broiler much less knew what a broiler was thank you sincerely. R.parker
This is the kind of informative video I appreciate. When we go full time, I will be doing the cooking while my wife will be the traveling nurse. This is just full of tips I would have never thought of. The only thing, we are looking at Class A's, and a lot of them are doing away with ovens, and going with a convection microwave. I have never used one before! My only requirement in a RV is a washer/dryer. I am not going to the laundry mat!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck in your search for an RV! I didn't realize they were doing away with the ovens. How weird. I love ours - no power required. As far as washer dryer - it would be sooo nice to have! We have a portable that spin dries and then we hang the clothes in the shower but it isn't enough to keep up with our families clothes. Great for scrubs though. 😉
Great guide on how to use the oven! Never would have thought. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I'm amazed! Lol! I'm 70, been camping forever and since 2012 when we got our fifth wheel, my oven has been storage. We're going this weekend for a 3 day weekend. I am so anxious to try some of your tips! I never knew the bottom was a broiler. I also never thought of using a pizza stone as heat distraction. Thank you soooo much! See? You can teach an old dog new tricks! I'm so excited! THANK YOU!!!!
Yay!! Good luck and happy baking!
Thanks for your tips , very well presented and very helpful
Thx! Glad it was helpful 🙌
Great tips. Just got our first RV. Haven’t used the oven yet. Did know about the pizza stone. Broiler tip was 💯. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Happy baking. :)
Very well done! I have to admit, I have been in my RV for 6 years, and have never used the oven! But recently my generator has decided not to start....and after watching many videos on how to fix, and done everyone, still no start....so TODAY, I thought, why don’t I use my real oven. (Previously been using microwave and toaster oven). Thank you for all of the experienced tips you have shared! Much appreciated. Dinner tonight will be trying some of these tips. God Bless and Thank you again!!
PS...I literally laughed out loud when you said it can be used for more than storage!!! 🤪😆 As it has been my skillet and sauce pan storage.
Haha! Hooray for getting it out if the storage zone! I'm glad you found the tips helpful. Hope your dinner was amazing. :)
Thank you this video was very very very helpful I was a bit skeptical of my new oven cuz I'm a first-time RVing and this really help me thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful! Happy baking. :)
We will be living full time soon with an RV oven and we've been a bit concerned about our future cooking. We were excited to see all the ways you can still cook in an RV oven. Really helpful video with great ideas & encouragement. Cheers & thanks! We are excited to check out more of your videos. :-)
Welcome to the wonderful world of dull time rving and to our channel. We're glad you found this video helpful. It may be a tiny propane oven but its still quite useful. :) Best wishes as you prepare to launch.
@@NoOrdinaryPath thank you! We are really excited about heading into a new adventure. It is so wonderful to watch and find encouragement & support among fellow video creators. :-)
Great tips, thank you!
So helpful!
We camped at assateague island many years. It is right on the dunes. We kept our potato chips and snacks in the oven with the pilot light on to keep them from getting stale. The bags would not burn or anything.
Excellent video
Thank you so much.
Omg thank you thank you. This really help me God bless you. Keep smiling ❤
So glad it was helpful!! Happy baking!
Love yur vid, and ty.
Except for pizza stone which is awesom idea, I have pretty much figured mine out.
I've also cooked Thanxgiving dinner in mine.
My oven is well loved also.😉
Great! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Greasy thank you!
Great to know about dish size!
Glad it was helpful!
I've had my 38' 5th wheel for traveling, for 10 years.
I never knew that the bottom was a broiler 😅
My oven is bigger, but you have nice size countertops.
Not enough counter top, makes it harder to prepare your foods ... Thanx for the tips 😊
Happy broiling!! 😊
Awesome thank you
You've got me thinking about temperature adjustments. Have you pulled off the temperature knob to see if adjustments can be made? I'll be checking ours the next time I'm in it. Thanks for the tips, I love the pizza stone tip!♥️
Thank you for showing me broil !!
I've been wondering about that every now and then...
And yes a thermometer is a great idea! Those numbers on dial are just numbers and don't really seem to reflect the actual temp. Also I don't believe there is a automatic temp control unit that keeps a constant temperature by means of flame adjustment. Not sure why it would even have a thermometer probe inside. It's not like it flames out or lowers flow of gas when temperature is reached. Or ignites when temperature drops. Kinda a guessing game for each size and type of food
I Hate it !
You guys are hilarious! Great tips!
Thank you! ❤
Great tip about the stove top griddle!
Thanks 👍
I have had my camper for 7 years and didn't know that space was a broiler. Thanks! I already have unfinished floor tiles, and the thermometer in there though!
Nice! Happy broiling!! We use ours cast iron skillets to broil stuff - they fit great.
We're dummies - we haven't even figured out how to get the pilot in our oven lit! When we do, however, we'll be glad we saw this vid!
Not dummies. :) What do you use to cook with most?
We've only had three outings with our camper so far (we're "weekenders"), so we've been using the stovetop and microwave, and we've grilled on the external grill a couple of times. Wifey is determined to do cinnamon rolls in that oven when we spend a week up in Asheville, NC at the end of December, so come Hell or high water, we'll figure out that oven then.
@@LiveNLearnRV yes! You can so it. Cinnamon rolls sound delish
Especially LOVE the Post Script

#CuteOuttakes :)
Haha. Thank you! #reallife
great video! thanks for the tips! i think your griddle is cast aluminum.
Omg! It broils! Yay!!!!
Our new RV oven is shaped different- no broil. I was so bummed!
Kristin, 😱😱😱.. I've been in a rig full-time for nearly a year and I've never known the broiler was on the bottom.... (Even though our stove says broiler 🤣🤣🤣). Totally awesome info!
I want that skillet for the stove... Either out a link here for it, or you have my email! Thanks much
I use an airbake cookie sheet instead of a pizza stone to disperse the heat.
Thats a great idea. Lighter weight too.
Great video 😊 One thing I also heard, is never store anything on the very bottom where the propane line and wires are.
Great advice! I store a cookie sheet down there but it doesn't touch anything. I can see how a casserole dish could be troubles. We try not to store too much in it in general because we use it a lot and it's a pain to move it all to fire it up. Thanks for watching!
@@NoOrdinaryPath seems like people either love them or hate them lol😂 I watch so many who just use it as storage only. Love you guys channel! Such a cute family! My sister is a nurse out in Seattle. I think shes still working at Swedish Medical Center. If your hubby ever gets sent that way, I'll give you her name. She's huge into backpacking and knows all the sweet spots out there!
Where did you get the non-stick griddle?
Very helpful. Thank you. Where did you get your stove top skillet?
We are glad you found it helpful. We purchased ours on Amazon but it looks like right now it's unavailable. Square Griddle - amzn.to/2KA8lc6
What is the brand and model of this oven? I want to get one for ours!
What size oven are you cooking with in this video?
I have been living in a RV for two years and I had no idea broil was on the bottom!
I'm so glad it was helpful. It took me a while to learn that too but now we use it fairly frequently. For Easter I place sliced ham in my cast iron skillet and brushed with a glaze then "broiled" it in the oven. Turned out super tasty. :)
I heard that you should not cover the holes of the piece right above the flame with your stone (was not told what would happen with them covered); I see that your stone pretty much covers the holes on the sides but the holes in front are open. That's the same as my oven/stone so I wondered if you have ever had a problem with that? Because of that I put the stone directly on the rack and then place my cooking pan directly on the stone, I would rather bake on the rack! I bake in mine all the time and love it and I didn't know you could use the bottom as a broiler, thanks so much for that tip!
I have had mine covering holes for two and a half years now with no issues. At least none that I can tell! I like it set up this way because sometimes I can cook two things at once. I can set one thing on the stone directly and one thing on the rack. For example last night I did two trays of french fries that way. Every once in awhile I give them a stir and switch the one on the rack to the stone and vice versa. Hope that helps!
We got a 5th wheel and it has that same kind of oven. 3rd RV first time with an oven!! How do you clean it? Do you have a video on that?
I just spray and wipe out. It was dirty a lot but I used it a ton.
Was the pizza stone included with the oven?
Is there anyway you can link or put in the description where you got the pizza stone and stove to skillet???
Here's a link to our website where you will find links to all our favorite products but specifically the griddle and pizza stone!

Is the rack adjustable
Ikea has some great stainless baking pans that are small
Awesome! Thanks for the tip. :)
#RealLife - too funny - but any good pan has to be well loved, otherwise it wouldn't be considered a good pan 👍 Do you happen to remember where you got your square pizza stone? I had a round pizza stone years ago - rarely used it so I gave it to my daughter and have never looked for another one. Using the stone to help distribute the heat more evenly is genius!
The one i bought is currently unavailable. Grrr... I got it off Amazon. Heres one similar in size and shape. www.amazon.com/Rectangular-Baking-Grilling-Perfect-Innovative/dp/B06XXX1NLN/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1543458628&sr=8-2-fkmr0&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=unicook+rectangle+pizza+stone
Off topic but have you had experience with a company called RV armor that makes your roof leak freeh and seamless
Hey Brett, no I haven't heard of that one before. There are so many different options out there. Thanks for watching!
Okay...where did you get that pizza stone?!
I realized after posting that Amazon says it's no longer available :( Here is a similar one. www.amazon.com/Rectangular-Baking-Grilling-Perfect-Innovative/dp/B06XXX1NLN/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1543458628&sr=8-2-fkmr0&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=unicook+rectangle+pizza+stone
What's an easy way for me to light my propane oven? I have one good hand and I am disable.
That is a tough one. It depends on the oven. Unfortunately many of them require you to hold the knob and light at the same time. Do you have anyone that could help you light it? I know several people who take their ovens out all together and just use a convection microwave.
Griddle
if I cant find the pizza stone whats a good swap
I've heard you can use an air cookie sheet. :)
Do you ever find that the use of your RV oven while cooking also help warm your RV or pop-up campers during the winter? 🙋🍳Please respond thank you🙆🏽♀️
For sure!
Run your hood vent, carbon monoxide and water vapor is released from the combustion of propane. Crack a window to prevent oxygen depletion! Don’t use the oven to heat your camper!
Funny story.. I tried to bake an apple pie. I have the same oven as you with the same large pizza stone. I placed the pie in a glass pie pan.. ok so I may have put too much filling in my pie so I needed more top space! 🙄 I needed to put the pie on the pizza stone I put some Reynolds wrap under it incase it bubbled over. After baking 30 min... we heard a loud crash!! My glass 0ie dish exploded!!😮😮😮 how this happened I'm not 100% sure? I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.... this should be fun! Lol Any thoughts?
Oh wow!! It must have gotten really hot. Most pyrex can be headed to 425 or 450. I bet the pan just couldn't take the heat directly on the stone. 😬 So sorry that happened. The stone helps to distribute the heat more evenly in the air around your dish. You'll likely need to have a rack above your stone. Is your stone all the way at the bottom?
Will a cast iron skillet work in place of a pizza stone?
I'm not sure to be honest but it might take up too much room unless it's a small one.
I've heard of people even just using an extra cookie sheet - just something to catch and hold the heat.
What size is ur pizza stone?
It is a '15 inch amzn.to/32bZuUh :)
If it doesnt wieght 40lbs its cast aluminum. I 😅🤞
Lol dude breathing in the background
Haha! Yeah this is one from the beginning of our journey. We've come a long way in filming, sound and editing since then. Thanks for watching anyway!
Wish they would just remove the broiler and fix these ovens so you don’t need to modify so much. No one uses broilers anymore. Use a grill like an American.
Um its not actually a broiler... Its a hack to use the propane burner AS a broiler. Its literally the source of heat for the entire oven. Plus you couldn't use a grill to brown cheese on top of a dish. 🤷♀️
My pizza stone exploded into many shards, just an FYI
Oh no!!! Did it get wet?
Nope, it went straight from the cupboard to the oven. I had it for years & it was very well seasoned & used so maybe its time was up :) @@NoOrdinaryPath
Tell the guy taking the video to keep his mouth shut and not make stupid comments during the video. And PLEASE don't use jump cuts in your videos. VERY distracting and unprofessional. Cut the word "like." Your thermometer is not "like cheap," it's "cheap." "This is the metal," ... ya think?
Bro, it's a family blog, not the Food Network.
