10 Tips For Camping Cooking
Jeff Schuman
Camping cooking can be some of the best cooking there is. With
the environment and smells and then add the wonderful taste of
food off the fire, nothing is better. There are several
different methods that can be used when cooking while camping
including with camp stoves, charcoal, wood fires, foil cooking
and more. Depending on what you’re making and how you like it
cooked sometimes decides what method you’ll use. There are,
however, several camping cooking tips to consider before going
out.
Tip 1: Freeze Meat
Freezing the meat ahead of time will keep it fresh and keep other
foods cool as well.
Tip 2: Plan ahead of time
Measuring the right amount of ingredients needed for meals ahead
of time and putting them in ziplock bags helps ensure a great
meal. Also preparing soups and chili and freezing them makes for
quick camping cooking to reheat and eat.
Tip 3: Easier cleaning method
To avoid food from sticking to the pans apply oil on the grill.
Also, putting liquid soap on the outside of pots and pans before
placing them on the fire protects from smoke and fire danger
while also providing an easier clean-up.
Tip 4: Keeping matches dry
Many camping cookbook recipes require a fire and there is no
better way to start a fire then with matches. One method to help
keep the matches dry in case it rains is to place matches in wax
and then when needed just scrape the wax off and light the match.
Tip 5: Cooking hamburgers thoroughly
One camping cookbook secret for cooking hamburgers thoroughly is
to place a hole in the center of the hamburger the size of your
finger. The hole will fill in during the cooking and the center
will cook the same as the outside.
Tip 6: Keep food and drinks in separate cooler
Keeping your drinks in a separate cooler from food helps keep
foods colder longer avoiding any kind of spoilage.
Tip 7: Cooking on or over coals
Camping cooking can be difficult to make sure you don’t overcook
or undercook any food. If you cook on or over coals (wood or
charcoal), this helps provide a steadier and even heating for the
food. This will allow you to control the food better.
Tip 8: Cooking chicken
Camping cookbook secret with chicken is to cook the chicken
halfway and then place the sauce of your choice on it. This will
prevent the sauce from burning onto the chicken.
Tip 9: Water bottles for containers
Keeping water bottles when you’re finished with them are great
for camping cooking containers, for instance placing salad
dressing, oils, or any other liquid substance.
Tip 10: Too much salt?
Adding too much salt when you’re preparing a good camping cooking
meal happens to the best of us. You can fix this by peeling a
potato and adding the potato, as the potato will absorb the
excess salt from the dish.
These are just a few camping cooking tips to consider. There are
several more tips like this that are worth checking out, and if
you really feel like making some good meals you might consider
purchasing a camping cookbook to get the best of your meals.
