I am a Chef with 25+ years experience and the same can be said about a frying pan. The thicker the better. Thin cheap frying pan are very easy to burn food. I can cook on cheap thin frying pan but a lot of care had to be taken.

Not a collector but a daily user. Bought mine from the factory door back in the 90s and also wanted a fry pan. Was told they were doing a pour the next morning so waited and got one custom poured. If you’ve never used one you’ll never know.

Lucky you, they sell well at Auction, collectors like to grab them and lock them up which is a bit of a shame as they are great fun to cook with. Id be interested but I cant really afford at the moment, Ive got some big committments coming up I need to clear. Thanks for watching, Cheers.

How do you pack your ovens when travelling with all the miles and rough roads

Жыл бұрын
Thats one of the reason I prefer Hardings and Furphys, they are built for Australian conditions and are very hard to break. I generally just tie the lids down to the ovens and chuck them in. The big ones I like to sit a bag of charcoal on them or something soft withsome weight in it. Ive never broken one yet and theyve done some miles.

A great video. So would you say that the large Billmans ovens currently available are as good as the equivalent-sized Furphys to cook with? I'm considering one of their 15's, who knows how long these will be available for. Cheers!
@campovenking
Жыл бұрын
Im not sure they make a 15. They make an 18 and they are very heavy, I have cooked in them. Actually for anything over 16 inch I would highly recommend the Patch ovens. They are a better balanced oven and will be even rarer down the track. the 16's and 18's are the best available today.

@@ALeafintheWind414 Actually the first run of chinese Furphys is completely different and can be hard to spot if your not used to it. They have a very wide flat rim around the lid. But I dont think they have a tear drop handle which catches people out. And the chinese ones are twice the weight of an Australian furphy for some reason.

Can you recommend a brand for a bloke that is just about to jump into camp oven cooking? Are the starter sets that come in the crate worth a look? Thanks in advance. Edit; Or even whats a good thing to look for in a 1st oven.
@campovenking
Жыл бұрын
Any of your big Australian brand name companies can sell you a camp oven these days and theres not much difference in them other than the price really. These companies are putting there name on the lids and so they make sure the product is a professional one. snowys.com.au have a pretty good selection at good prices, and they have bigger sizes to which is rare. I will be doing a video on how to choose a camp oven shortly so keep an eye out. I will make it one of the next ones I do so probably be up next wee sometime.

Furphy use to also make water carts. As a little tacker back in the 70s I remember there was a Furphy water cart in the yard at a certain chalet in the high country. I wonder if it is still there?
