More Tips To Make Camp Cooking Easy

Camping presents so many unique challenges when it comes to cooking. Even if you bring a propane grill and other convenience equipment with you, cooking can take up a major portion of your camping time if you’re not careful. Here are some more things you can do to make the cooking process go more smoothly:

• Put marshmallows into a Ziploc bag. Put a little bit of powdered sugar into the bag, too, to keep them from sticking together.
• Use a canning ring to shape the egg for bagel or English muffin egg sandwiches.
• If you have electricity at your campsite, use a crock-pot. Start dinner in the morning, and it will be ready when the day’s activities are through.
• Chop vegetables or other ingredients ahead of time and place them into Ziploc bags.
• Cook some of the meats ahead of time, as well. You can even prepare taco meat ahead, freeze it, and they warm it up when you’re camping.
• Consider using the squeeze bottle margarine when camping. The squeeze bottle makes your margarine much easier to use.
• Cook over coals, rather than a fire. This will provide you with more even cooking.
• If you’re cooking with charcoal, use a charcoal chimney to get the charcoal ready more quickly.
• When making foil dinner, place a few ice cubes in the aluminum foil. This helps the foil dinner from becoming burnt.
• Keep your dish soap clean by putting it inside of a nylon or a sock and hanging it from a tree.
• On the final day of your camping trip, mix together your leftover vegetables and meats to make omelettes.
• Use your pots as mixing bowls so as to save packing space.
• Use disposable water bottles for things that normally come in glass bottles, such as oils, salad dressings and sauces.
• When you’re cooking chicken on the grill, cook it without sauce until it is halfway cooked. Add the sauce afterwards. This prevents the sauce from burning onto the chicken.
