Camp Cooking
Create a detailed meal plan before you go to streamline cooking & minimize food waste.
Prep at Home: Do as much chopping, marinating, and measuring as possible before.
Store prepped ingredients in resealable bags.
Simple meals that don’t use a lot of pots and pans - cleaning while camping is a pain
Check food storage guidelines where you are going - BEARS!
Limit amount of trash re-pack food if possible
Consider wind if you are using a camp stove
Pack Cooler properly - pack items you use last on the bottom
Keep cooler in shade
If long trip freeze meat
Separate cooler for drinks
Check burn ban before you go to make sure you can use open flame
Minimize equipment. You are camping to getaway and enjoy your time
Invest in a Good Cooler: Use a high-quality cooler with a 2:1 ice-to-food ratio to keep perishables fresh longer.
Tin Foil is your Friend. Use Foil Packets: Prepare "hobo" meals using heavy-duty aluminum foil. Combine meat and veggies, season, wrap, and cook over coals for easy cleanup.
Pre-cook Ingredients: Cook items like bacon or chicken at home and reheat at camp to save time and fuel.
Pack Cooking Gear Wisely: Designate a storage bin for all your cooking utensils, pots, and pans to keep things organized and easy to access.
Cook with Cast Iron: Cast iron skillets or griddles are durable and versatile for cooking over both stoves and campfires. (and heavy…)
Prep Snacks: Bring easy-to-eat snacks like trail mix or granola bars for quick energy during hikes or activities.
Keep Ingredients Together: Store similar ingredients together (e.g., spices with meats) to streamline cooking processes at camp.
Cover Pots While Cooking: Keep lids on pots to retain heat and prevent insects from getting into your food while cooking outdoors.
Bring a Portable Grill Grate:
Cook in Batches: Make larger quantities of meals that can be stored and reheated later, saving time on subsequent nights. Example, Chicken fajitas with vegis or stir-fry, Use left overs for scrambled egg burritos.
Hacks:
-Pre-Scramble eggs
-Cinnamon Rolls
-No ice (melts and water gets everywhere) freeze water bottles, melts slower and keeps cold longer.
- storage pre-made pancake batter in a ziplock
-Boil eggs in ziploc bag
-put spices in pill boxes
-”bake” over the fire in orange peels
-save on dishes tacos in a bag
-pre-make salads, pasta salads
-Use Skewers to minimize cooking gear and clean up
