website<\/a> I found. They give you a ton of different recipes that you can pre-make for your camping trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSafety Tips for Cooking at a Campsite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While there are plenty of ways to cook at your site, there are many ways to do it all safely so everyone can enjoy their time and their meal. If you\u2019re cooking with a stove:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Double-check everything<\/strong> – Make sure all hoses and tanks are in pristine condition and that the exterior (hood, wings, etc) of the stove are tightened and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNever leave unattended<\/strong> – Enough said! Once your stove is on, always make sure at least one adult is supervising. Also, always have enough water by just in case the stove decides to act up.<\/p>\n\n\n\nClean Spills<\/strong> – It happens. Just make sure to completely clean any spilled flammable liquids. Starter fuel, butane or propane, anything that says \u201cflammable\u201d needs to be handled with extreme delicacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen you\u2019re cooking over an open flame, like a fire pit, keep in mind that you cannot control it the same way that you can a regular stove- there are no dials this time! Here are some tips when cooking over an open flame:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Build the right fire<\/strong> – There are so many creative and sustainable ways to build a fire, but a great one for cooking is the \u201chunter\u2019s fire\u201d: Place two logs in a \u201cV\u201d position, place tinder in the cent of the V, and build a teepee using smaller wood over the tinder. The fire can be regulated easier this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBe patient<\/strong> – Don\u2019t throw all of your logs in at once for a giant fire, especially if you\u2019re cooking. You\u2019ll want a small fire that won\u2019t burn your food right away. If you\u2019re getting the help of coals, be extra patient. Managing heat is difficult and can be very inconsistent so always make sure you\u2019re food (especially if it\u2019s raw meats) are cooked thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPut it out properly<\/strong> – With ay open fire, make sure to extinguish it completely. Let the wood burn until it is ash and drown the fire in water, or dirt and sand- as long as all of the material is cool enough to touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChoosing the Right Cookware for Camping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are so many products to use when outdoor cooking, and while we won\u2019t attest that one product is better than the other, there are a few key factors in choosing the right materials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cast Iron<\/strong>– Very tough and can withstand higher levels of heat, but its heavyweight could pose risks; make sure you can handle cast iron properly. Sometimes, looks can be very deceiving and it can weigh much more than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTitanium<\/strong> – Very lightweight without sacrificing sturdiness and offers rapid heat up times. However, it can be easily overheated, especially when under an open flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAluminum<\/strong> – Also lightweight and commonly the most affordable option, but that is because it is typically prone to damages. Scratches and dents are okay, but keep an eye out for more serious damages that could potentially make its use dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStainless Steel<\/strong> – Tougher than aluminum, but similar to titanium in that its heat conduction is usually less even, causing hot spots or uncooked areas within your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One of the best parts of camping is the food- everything tastes better when it\u2019s made with love, at a campsite. However, when you are camping sometimes you have to expect the unexpected and there are many preemptive practices that will ensure you have a great time all while keeping you safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there is anything you should learn after reading this, it is to never cook inside of a tent- it is not safe and could lead to a ton of dangerous scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
