Cooking Tips When Out Camping
Kadence Buchanan
While we were kids, my brother and I, had the opportunity of traveling
around the countryside with our father and explore everything our home
country had to offer to the three musketeers, which was our code name.
Unfortunately, in most of these trips our mother was left behind as she
had to work and we were given the chance to spend time with our father
who as a nature lover took as almost anywhere our car and feet could
lead us. These trips were our time together with our beloved father,
who while we were young did everything in his power to spend as much
time with us as possible. If time was not the issue back then, we tried
to keep the budget under logical limits, so all these trips were made
with our car that was carrying on its roof our specially designed and
hand-made (by my father) tend.
During those camping times and since our mother was not near by to feed
us, our father was apart from the designated driver and the leader of
our group, also the cook that served us some of the best meals we have
ever tasted; probably because we were really hungry by the time we eat.
The truth is that I still remember the taste of his pasta and if I
could go back in time, I would love to experience again the thrill of
singing with my brother while our dad was smiling cooking his amazing
pasta on our carry on kitchen supplies.
Other campers tend to agree with my remark as they support that camping
cooking can be some of the best cooking there is. Close to the
environment and while being able to smell all that wonderful tasty food
coming out of the fire, many agree that there is nothing better. If you
are a beginner in camping, you should know that there are several
different methods that can be used when cooking while camping, like
wood fires, camp charcoal, stoves, foil cooking and more. The type of
cooking method is directly related to the food you will decide to make
and how you like it cooked sometimes decides what method you should be
using. But then again there are several camping cooking tips to
consider before cooking and camping out.
Consider freezing the meat for instance. Freezing it ahead of time can
keep the meat fresh and other foods cool as well. My father used to be
proactive like that and plan ahead of time. He also used plastic bags
or containers to keep measured portions of the food that was about to
consumed, safely contained. I think it is also best if you want to
avoid food from sticking to the pans to apply oil on the grill.
Finally, put matches somewhere safe to keep them dry as many camping
cookbook recipes require the use of natural fire and there is no better
way to start a fire than with matches. You can also keep your drinks in
a separate cooler from food as it can helps keep foods colder longer
avoiding any kind of spoilage. Finally, a great tip is to keep water
bottles when they are empty because they can become great camping
cooking containers to put the salad dressing, oils, or any other liquid
substance.
