Good morning, everyone! This is Curtis with The Fun Times Guide bringing you ways to cook outdoors.
Being as that I live full-time in the various areas in my RV, I prefer to do as much cooking outdoors as I can. You can see this morning I’ve got the campfire going nicely, and we will get on with a quick tour of my cooking abilities.
It’s always great to start the day off with a nice hot breakfast of bacon, eggs, and some buckwheat pancakes. This Blackstone griddle works excellent for cooking most of your breakfast stuff and a lot of other meals throughout the day. It makes a really great “smash burger” just as well.
And when I don’t feel like doing it on the griddle… I can move right over here to my outdoor kitchen, where I have a gas barbecue that allows me to do a bang up job on steaks, hot dogs, and various other treats that like to be char-broiled.
Of course, breakfast wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t have some nice fresh biscuits. And my Coleman oven on the cook stove does a beautiful job of making biscuits and still leaves one burner empty — so that you can keep your coffee pot simmering, as well.
I found I can cook outdoors even easier than I can cook indoors with the setup that I’ve got going here.
When you shop for your next RV, I highly recommend you look for one that has a Suburban oven in it. The 3-burner stove is adequate for almost any type of cooking you want to do. But the oven is the gem — because as you can see, it is much larger than the other brand of oven that is commonly found in RVs. This one actually is large enough to where you could cook a small turkey in it. And believe me, I have done it. It works great.
Even though I live primarily off-grid and boondock where there is no electricity, I still have a variety of electrical appliances which I can run off my generator for preparing larger meals.
For when I have company, this turkey roaster is a great item to have. You can do everything from a turkey right on down to baking a cake. It’s just like having a portable oven!
The crockpot I don’t use as much because it takes too much time — and I don’t want to listen to the generator run for 8 hours at a time. But I do have it.
I can also make waffles. And a rice cooker can be used for other things than just making rice. It can also be used to make soups and stews and that type of meal, as well. So the more versatility you have, the larger your repertoire of meals can be.
One of my favorite sayings is that if you are going to be long-term RVing (either full-time OR extended trips), you need to make your life as close to normal as possible. And what could possibly be more normal than to be able to reach into your portable Coleman oven and pull out a piping hot pizza for lunch?!
Thank you for watching. We’ll catch you next time.
