dream pots

Hi Beema,
We used to have one and they cook the food just great but the preparation in the morning before you leave camp is what turned us off them. There is one for sale on the Caravan Forum.

Hi Beema

Dream pots are good if you have the time to go through the preparation/cooking process before you get on your way. Know a few who have them but they also have the cobb and tend to use it more than the dream pot.
Maybe a thought?

Hi Beema

I have a dream pot. It gets used most when I am going to do a longish first day drive i.e. 6 hours or more. Do the preparation before I leave and don't have to think about what's for dinner when I get to the days destination. Set the CT up and get the dreampot out and hey presto - dinner is served

i also have a Cobb - and these cooking things are for different uses. The Cobb roasts, does damper, bakes etc whereas the dreampot is a slow corned beef sorta thing.

Cheers

Hi Beema,
If you are thinking of buying a dreampot check out the shuttle chef by thermos I have had both dreampot and the shuttle chef. The shuttle chef i feel is the better by far mainly for me the quality of the saucepan as the shuttle chef saucepan is much thicker stainless steel and you dont need to keep stirring so the the food doesnt stick and the quality of the thermos part is much better I tested both for keeping the heat and the shuttle chef by thermos was much more efficient., so I sold the dreampot and dont regret it. not relatted in any way. their website is

hope this is of some help

Recently returned from 14 weeks traveling in the AVan and Prado and found our Dream Pot invaluable. When traveling as we were there was plenty of time to prepare your evening meal and then have it "cooking" as we traveled. Great for doing a corned beef, hot meal at night and cold for a couple of days after. Cant comment on other brands but we were impressed.

Hi, I bought a Dream Pot recently and love it. I've been doing casseroles, soup and curries in it, at home at this stage. I find it very easy to use, particularly on long work days (yes, some of us still slave in the coal face, saving for the trip). Prepare in the AM and eat in the evening. Had a Chicken Kofta curry tonight from another recipe book and it worked a treat. So long as you follow the basic principle of cooking (which their recipe book gives you)you can't fail.

I will definately use it travelling and am glad i bought it. I was sceptical, particularly with the cost. I also got a free bread tin but haven't tried the bread, cakes of lasagne in it yet. It's also been great taking meals to friends places and I believe you can use it as an 'esky'.

We have had one for 18mths now and it is great. Especially good on rice and carrot cake. We have been camp hosting at Karijini and was invaluable. there was always a slack time in early afternoon and the busy until about 7pm. Just prepared the meal and was al ready when we wanted to eat.

Thank you to everyone who replied about the Dream Pot. I have printed out the detail of the Thermos one from the Internet and then saw the Dream pot in a shop. So I was interested in the comments on both.
Thanks again.
