Cook No Oven? No Worries
Many cruising boats, especially smaller ones, don’t have a conventional oven.

A circular aluminum pan with a hole in the middle sits on a steel base and is covered by a lid. Food is placed in the pan, its bottom is heated by hot air between the steel plate, and the pan, while morehot air goes up the inner hole and is directed over the top when it hits the lid. Steam vents in the lid ensure the top doesn’t get soggy.
