last year i was camping in ibiza and i noticed some other campers were using an electric hob for cooking. i'm off camping in croatia in a few weeks and fancy taking one along; however i've never used any electrical equipment when camping (here or abroad) and have no idea what i'll need, over and above a two-pin adaptor. i'm loathe to lug it all the way there if i can't use it and i'm flying out so can't take gas. any ideas/advice?

thanks

Hi welcome to the forum,

The only electric hob's i recall are the old metal ring type as below. the issue with these is they retain the heat for a long time. which when camping you dont really want due to the safety risk.



However i did do some searching.



£34.99 at amazon (image is a link)

Although i would think it would retain the heat for a while. i dobt it would be the same as the old metal ring system that when anything touches it would just ignite straight away. even when cooling down. You would still have to be very carefull with it though.

If i come across anything else i will let you know.

Cheers

Andy
