We find that it minimizes the impact of cooking over a fire in areas that are a bit more sensitive than big campgrounds.įinally, a “real” chef’s knife is one of our must haves.

It’s great on either a camp stove or over an open fire, and the high walls make it great for all sorts of one pot meals.īecause we spend a lot of time dispersed camping (opposed to camping at established campgrounds with lots of facilities), we’ve begun to bring a portable grill on many of our trips. Our most versatile piece of equipment, hands down, is our cast iron skillet. We just need to find the time to dive in!Ī post shared by Fresh Off The Grid items can you not live without in your camp kitchen? We would love to write a cookbook! We’re toying around with a few different concepts we’d be really excited to move forward with. Is a camping cookbook on the horizon for other foodies? The phrase “clean enough” is used pretty frequently between the two of us!

If we are cooking for ourselves, the three bucket method gets stripped down to a one bucket method – which is mostly just a soak & rinse in hot water with some biodegradable soap. If we’re cooking for a big group, we follow that method. There is an official three bucket method (we use collapsible buckets) for properly rinsing, washing, and sanitizing dishes in the frontcountry that has been developed by Leave No Trace. What does your dish cleaning setup look like when you’re preparing a big meal at camp?įirst things first: there’s a difference between clean and camping clean.

If you have a package of pitas on hand, then you have a full meal with almost zero prep and only one dish to clean at the end of it all. If you have some tofu or pre-cooked chicken with you, that can be thrown in as well, along with vegetables that can be enjoyed raw like spinach, bell peppers, or carrots. We nearly always camp with a can of chickpeas and a few packages of Trader Joe’s Indian Fare for just this scenario! You can dump the chickpeas and a package of dal or curried vegetables into a pot to quickly heat, or it can be eaten cold (though on cold rainy nights, we argue that a warm meal is worth at least some effort!). What’s the go to, prep-free tent food for days when foodies lose steam? Cooking dinner just isn’t going to happen. A post shared by Fresh Off The Grid at a campground and it’s windy and pouring rain.
