I think you will be advised to invest in the Remoska from Lakeland which seems to be very popular and versatile. I started with the very cheap basic one from a TV shopping channel for under £20. Masses of things can be cooked in a "multi-cooker" and cookbooks are available. I have progressed to an Elegento model that has lasted longer than the cheap one. It looks a little like a wok.

I think on the top temperature you might be in trouble with site electrics but I only use that setting to sear a steak occasionally. I have cooked a whole chicken jointed in mine - probably a whole one would fit too.
Again there are gas appliances like the Cadac Safari which is also very versatile - and enable lots of different cooking methods outside. I suggest starting cheap and seeing how it works for you. There is another alternative and that is an induction hob so you can use any pot and pan on as long as it is induction compatible i.e stainless steel. Good Luck

Lidl have the “tepenyaki” in at
the moment - a friend loves hers.0 -
We bought a Halogen oven whilst it was on offer at Aldi. Not much bigger than our electric frying pan but you can cook/bake/grill anything in it; full English, Sunday roast, fish etc. Head chef was a bit sceptical at first but she was convinced when I demonstrated that with a bit of planning you could cook meat, veg etc all at the same time and with no danger of blowing the hook-up. It's also very easy to clean. We've had a Cadac for years, which I also use a lot (even baked a loaf of bread on it) but, as a thrifty friend pointed out, "Why keep using your gas when you've already paid for the electricity?".

I've got an Andrew James electric frying pan, they come in differant sizes, I have the smallest which fits nicely in my van oven. Its 1500w at the highest setting and have used it on 6amp sites with no problems (don't have anything else on) its not as robust
as my first electric frying pan which is a Sunbeam, but that's not non stick and its too big to take away. However it does a good job and I use it pretty much half of the year.0 -

Anybody tried frying with one of those portable induction hobs? Though I might use one outside in the awning.
I am always in bother when I use the frying pan on the caravan kitchen hob for getting fat everwhere.
yes, after buying a new van without an electric ring we bought a portable induction hob. Very good for using both inside and outside the van, instant heat (very hot) and so quickly 'adjustable' but needed to buy the pans to match it mind! So not cheap but
use it at home too!0
