? Sunday Boat Tip [4/52] ? This little life saver got to join us onboard when Marcus sold his old boat. There we had used it because we didn't have an oven so at first we were a bit hesitant if we would need it or not in Linnea. But you can bet we are glad that we brought it! Sailing in the tropics, most people put off using the oven as it heats up the already hot boat. But using this Omnia instead, makes everything so much easier! It also means we don't have to worry as much about the gas supply as it does not use nearly as much gas as the built in oven. Extra tip, if you want to use it both for cooking and baking, make sure you get two silicone inserts.. Otherwise your cakes might end up tasting like potatoes ? Been there done that? Sponge cake: 3 eggs 2 dl sugar 100 g butter 1 dl milk 3 dl wheat flour 2 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp vanilla powder 1. Whisk sugar and eggs really fluffy. 2. Melt the butter. Pour the milk into the melted butter and then stir it into the egg/sugar mix. 3. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then put them into the egg/sugar mix and stir gently until smooth. 4. Put it into the Omnia oven. Turn on the stove, we use the small burner on lowest heat and bake the cake for 50 min. 5. Let the cake rest for ten minutes before taking it out of the silicone form. This is a classic vanilla sponge cake. For extra flavour you could add things like chocolate or lemon. Ps, this is not sponsored, we just really like our oven!

? Sunday Boat Tip [14/52] ? Sharing cards is a popular way to share information to stay in touch with other cruisers ?? It's easy and fast, and with this lifestyle people tend to not have their phones on them all the time, which makes cards an even greater advantage. We made our design ourselves, but it's easy to find templates online (for instance in the Canva app) or reach out to someone who could design them for you if you have special ideas. Just make sure to check the format if you use a template, I believe classic business cards have different size standards in different countries which could be a problem once you send them for print. Ours are just in normal business card style paper, but in hindsight, some kind of waxed paper would be nice so it could withstand some water ??

? Sunday Boat Tip [7/52] ? Our gas oven only has heating from below, and when first moving onboard cooking in it was a real struggle! The food got badly burnt on the underside and was often undercooked on the topside, resulting in really bad cooking ??? But since we got this advice during our first winter as liveaboards our cooking game has improved so much! So, now it's time for us to pass the knowledge forward. If you have a gas oven with no top heating, you must try this! Don't forget to save this post and share it with a friends who needs to see this ??
