Testing the Dash Mini Toaster Oven in My Minivan Camper Conversion | Van Life Cooking

[@erikaDeee]

Thats a great little appliance. Easy bake ovens are over 100 bucks, this is better and cuter too. Happy Holidays

[@ri-imagine-life]

There is a KZbin channel called Counter Cooking-she cooks in all of the Dash kitchen appliances. She made cake and cookies in this Dash oven- did require some modifications- like foil on top to prevent the top from burning before the cake and cookie were done cooking.

I bought the exact same one about two months ago, but haven't yet unboxed it due to still building out my retired airport shuttle bus ("Go-Go Danger Bus"!). But your enthusiasm and excitement over it has me itching to just set it up anyway and crank out the grilled cheese sandwiches and Pop Tart Variety packs!!!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Yaaaaas! 🎉🎉

[@DesertNails]

It's very cute. When I saw the "giant" pop tart I realized it holds the size of a slice of bread. That'll be so nice for bagels or to heat up a sandwich.

[@kimdagnillo8246]

You can get a silicone mat and cut it to the size of the tray instead of foil, you just wipe it clean after every use, nothing sticks to it, I have one in my toaster oven. I thought your ham thing came out perfect but I like crispy crunchy stuff. 😬 I think I’m going to get one for the road. Thanks for the practice run , the pizza looked yummy .

[@lcinflorida8728]

LoL! I need a snack now... Your jubilation makes ME happy! Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!

[@nonya.bizness]

i'm 2 years late here, but adding to the algorithm for ya by saying i have a couple dash mini products, and they are ON shen p,ugged in and only turn OFF when unplugged. so i got a 2 foot heavy extension cord with an ON/OFF switch from amazon that i always use- gives more length and prevent wear and tear on the outlet and appliance plug caused by 'arcing'.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

That DASH Mini Toaster Oven is ADORABLE! Good 👍 Bro to get such a perfect gift 🎁 🙌! I recently discovered the DASH Mini Kitchen Appliances. They are AWESOME! I now collect them, lol. It's very addictive -- they're so darn cute 😍 💓! Just yesterday evening my husband 💗 bought me the DASH Mini Pumpkin 🎃 Waffle Maker. I already had 2 DASH Mini Waffle Makers but the Pumpkin is my first Seasonal themed one. I'll use it mainly for Cookies 🍪 😋.

[@Ohiogirl419]

Just a couple hints. Either use some aluminum foil on the bottom or some non-cooking spray. Those little pans are super cheap. I even think they make disposable ones you can buy off Amazon. I have a bigger one for my RV and I think I might score this little guy for like toast or something. Thank you for the review.

[@marizee5615]

Just bought one! Had no idea these existed. Thanks, Amanda!

[@sabrinashreck6632]

That is so cute. Lol I kept thinking how am I going to have my pop tarts in the morning cause that’s what I have for breakfast every morning. This is perfect. Thank you for sharing this with us all

[@DesertNails]

I'm continuing to use the HotLogic mini that I recently purchased. I've heated up a can of soup and some frozen meals so far.

[@aprilbaxter2578]

Nice little RV oven. It's like those tiny cupcake bakers I gave my kids when they were small. They got really hot, too. I always save the microwave trays or get a wooden tray and put it underneath the unit. I do that with the instapot and slow cooker as well. Thank you for the review.

[@bevr2164]

We made across country camping trip on 2018. We bought a toaster oven that also had a grill on top you could cook whatever eggs, bacon etc. Also a 3ccup coffee maker in the corner. We used it every day. We were staying in campgrounds so we had electric at every site. They have them on Amazon. A very retro look❣Happy camping 🤗

[@bevr2164]

Also cooked muffins and cornbread.

[@davidvanbuskirk5817]

I love the toaster oven! Perfect for me.

[@samanthadodd8112]

Thanks for the review. I may get one for my rv. U have so many more options to warm up and eat now.

[@ashleywashington83]

Hi Amanda, thanks for the great review!! I really enjoy your KZbin channel. Happy Holidays.

[@kennethbailey9853]

Yum a doodle do!!😁

[@atelierteale8012]

Nice! Not sure what you actually can cook in it, but it certainly is convenient for heating food. :-) You might want to buy a package of the Reynolds Foil Wrapper sheets at DT. Haven't been there since last spring, but they were 25 for $1.25. Parchment paper sheets also could be useful, but they tend to scorch easily, so, please, be careful! You can use the foil sheets to line the pan (dull side up to avoid burning food) to minimize clean-up, or to completely wrap food--keeps bread from drying out too much. You might be able to cut the foil sheets in half to line the oven pan. I can't gauge the size of the pan on my cell phone. LOL Just be sure the foil does not touch the oven interior, including the door. I also use half-size sheets for wrapping most of the food I am reheating in my regular toaster oven. Be sure to let your brother know that he bought you an awesome gift! Even if he needed a tiny nudge in the right direction! ;-) ... Teale 🏜️

[@NorthcoastPatty]

non stick grill sheets

[@JNante]

"Counter cooking" here on KZbin cooks many things in these tiny appliances.

[@mariateresagonzalez805]

Hay.. So happy u got that cute toaster oven.. I only suggest u put foil or parchment paper on the cooking tray for easy clean up

[@belindasalinas]

That is such a cute little toaster I never even knew such a gadget existed. Thank you for your review.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

Amanda, If you are still using your mini oven try using the Silicone DEEP ICE CUBE TRAYS for mini bite size Cakes, Muffins, Meatballs, Crab Cake Balls, etc. Silicone CANDY MOLDS, Silicone HOLIDAY THEMED MOLDS, and Silicone CUPCAKE LINERS work great too! Most Silicone ICE CUBE TRAYS come too long, simply cut ✂️ them in half.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Good idea!

[@carolmartin4068]

I just bought one from Facebook marketplace for $15 and I cannot wait to try it

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Awesome!

[@MySonsMother]

I missed this video because I was in quartzsite meeting you, lol. I just found this on a search because I bought one also. I put my pizza on the rack so it would get crispy on the bottom. It takes more than five minutes to get crispy so that was a bad idea because it flopped upside down and got all over and made a mess, lol. I can’t wait to try some other things.

[@carolwest6095]

This is so exciting!! I just bought a nucamp tab trailor for when I travel in 2 years. I'm getting one of these for it now!!

[@sabbby100]

I love dash products they come in handy for me one person I have the mini waffle maker and a mini grill. I have a pancake maker as well from dash.

[@4yellowwolf]

I have a Dash mini rice cooker it’s awesome. Gonna need to try this little toaster soon 👍🏼

[@LeilanisJourney]

Wow...I loved it. I want one now!

[@wanderingoutyonder]

This is very cool! We are always looking for different additions to our van and our adventures! Happy Holidays to you and your family! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

[@verdielg]

Got this unit and same color. Love it! Its surpring how many times I use it...mostly for tasiting bread, reheating pizza and the occasional odd tray of something. I really think its great for a camper van , dorm room and intimate galley configurations lol. Why not. Its fast, its cheap and its easy on the eyes 🙂

[@p-shawn5781]

Wow. That's amazing. It's so useful. I like it. I enjoyed the video. Be careful & stay safe. Love ya' 💞💜💞💜. God bless 😇. 🎅🎄🤶 Happy Holidays ☃️🎄🦌.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

❤️💚

[@Tattiepoo1]

I just bought the last one they had in the store. Same color. They are so cute

[@juliehoot3916]

I am gonna get one! Someone suggested soup, which was my choice, and how about grilled cheese! I never knew these existed either! Thank you!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I'm definitely going to make grilled cheese!

[@h.a.barker412]

Its so cute!

[@jobabs]

You could use it to heat up your van on cold days, too! Run it 4 minutes, turn it off, open the door, let the heat out.

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I was thinking that!!! 🤣🙌

[@JeffeysMom]

I can’t wait to order mine! I am thinking about ordering their waffle maker to👍🏻

[@jaredpetersen7343]

amanda ur amazing as usual. ❤nice toaster oven u should try the ultimate breakfast maker toaster oven it has everything in one. And Merry Christmas Amanda hope its fun and relaxing for u. ❤

[@debbieweckler6832]

So cute. Your funny. I'd like one in pink!!! Walmart?

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

Target!

[@kimberlyknight4973]

I need to get one. Thank you Amanda.

[@kennethbailey9853]

Thankyou

[@charlottebarnes6761]

I have one and it's the greatest that was ever invented

[@huckleberrychris]

I was expecting the easy bake oven🤣🤣🤣

[@stoneyrunva]

Check out the mymini noodle cooker and skillet from walmart for about $10. It's 260 watts. Tiny. Works well for cooking for one person.

[@NorthcoastPatty]

I watched Jiujitsu2000 fry eggs in that noodle cooker. I immediately bought one. It's awesome!!!

[@MelissaJohnson23408]

Just as good as the microwave. It can reheat and bake 👍🎉

[@larryc1616]

They also sell tiny .6 cu/in 600w microwaves at Amazon for $80. Get it and test it! You'd be set with these tiny oven/microwave combo in there!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I'm limited on space and don't want to lug a ton of stuff around.

[@hauk3839]

Frozen cookies. I try it. You have to smash them as flat as you can. You can do it

[@vandafedyszyn4612]

Hi I Amanda merry Christmas from the uk love your videos, love the oven but I would go for the ridge monkey every time will cook everything you have just done ❤

[@davidmurling4252]

Probably the ham filled roll would have probably heated up just fine maybe three to three and a half minutes just get yourself one of those little battery operated temperature probes that you use in the kitchen and you can stick it in and see how hot it is and that will help you start judging how long to cook something

[@tonijermont9529]

I got a big one I use it to cook chicken tenders kielbasa and potatoes. I not sure if this would do that or not

[@bina_two]

Hi Amanda, Could you do an explainer vid about your solar generator? I thought I remember that you used to have a Jackery, and I'm not familiar with the Vanpowers brand. Why did you switch brands? Are you happy with your choice? Pros/cons of each? Are your Quartzite colleagues using this brand too? Thanks in advance!

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

I have a ton of videos about those topics throughout the channel. ❤️

[@scott.wallace8625]

Wait christmas dinner yesterday? Am I on a bender?

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

My mom, brother, and I celebrated early due to travel.

[@scott.wallace8625]

@@AdventuringWithAmanda oh good, no bender! Thanks, merry Christmas Amanda

[@belladeann8398]

HI, YOU NEED TO TRY IT ON A REAL FROZEN TV DINNER 🍽️ 29 JULY 2024 MONDAY

[@Camp_Runamuck]

I think I’d line that pan with a piece of tin foil before I’d use it anymore

[@daughterofsankofa]

What did you put it into?

[@thomasdildine8222]

Isn’t it counterproductive, heating something to the point that when you take it out, you need to let it cool before you can eat it?

[@sherrilaird6535]

Can i plug the minis into the van outlet in a caravan

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It would blow a fuse.

[@LittleMew133]

Does it fit a fdozen pizza for one?

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

It does not. Only a slice.

[@patmoore9516]

Maybe spray your tray with Pam or a non-stick.

[@brendastudnicki9334]

You need to use some parchment paper. That pan will get gross if you dont

[@markvandersteen3960]

Try using without the tray

[@juliebutler8241]

Can you broil a steak or burger init?

[@AdventuringWithAmanda]

No.

[@theprayer1284]

Actually on' counter cooking'video she cooked a chicken thigh. It took about 42 minutes? .. first 30 minutes( 15 min twice ) with foil and then the last few minutes uncovered it.
