Cooking in Your RV

While you are traveling in your camper, you will end up cooking at least some of your meals. Maybe you want to save money. Maybe you enjoy the freshness of home cooked food. Maybe you are heading somewhere so remote that there aren't any restaurants within several miles. Whatever the situation, you can make your time in the kitchen better by using the following RV cooking tips. If you have any questions or want to look at campers for sale, visit Razorback Camper Sales. We proudly serve those in Little Rock and Pine Bluff, Arkansas, as well as Texarkana.

Cook in Advance

No one wants to spend a huge chunk of their vacation stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is out exploring! By doing some cooking and prep work in advance, you can limit the amount of time you are stuck inside so you can make the most of your trip.

One great approach is to cook your favorite meals in advance and then freeze them. You can portion out everyone's servings into microwaveable containers for easy reheating on the road. This allows you to prepare your food in your home kitchen where you have access to all your cooking utensils, spices, and plenty of space. You'll be able to make better meals while also saving you time on the road!

Use a Slow Cooker

Slow cookers allow you to toss all the food into them, set a timer, and return several hours later to a perfectly cooked meal. They don't take up much counter space or generate much heat. Another great advantage is that you won't need to use several pots and pans to make a dish. Instead, you'll only have one pot to wash! Plus, you won't need to stay in your RV kitchen constantly stirring the food. You can set yours up inside your camper and leave for the day. Use yours to make anything from soups to chilis to pasta to roasts.

Utilize Leftovers

Why cook twice when you could cook once? Each time you prepare food, double the recipe. You'll get dinner for tonight and lunch for the next day. You'll get to cut your cleaning and cooking time in half while still being able to enjoy fresh cooked meals in your camper. Many meals taste even better the next day when left to sit overnight, soaking up the sauces.

If you have a picky eater in your family who doesn't enjoy eating the same thing twice, you can still utilize leftovers. Double whatever the base of your meal is, such as meat and rice. Simply use two different sauces to enjoy two different meals. For example, you can do BBQ chicken for dinner and curry for lunch.

Campfire Cooking

Part of the fun of RV travel is being outdoors, which gives you access to a campfire. There are plenty of fun ways to make a campfire meal. Wrap the meat and veggies in foil and place that into the coals. Cook up dutch-oven chili. Roast kebabs over the fire. It'll get you out of the camper and into the great outdoors for dinner, which can make for a festive meal.
