Tips for Cooking In Your RV

Want to take your RV cooking to the next level? Use the following tips for better camper cooking.

Slow Cooking, Fast Results

Instead of turning on the stove or the oven and heating up your camper’s interior unnecessarily, why not plug in a slow cooker and have a one-pot meal ready by the time you stop for the night?

Slow cookers can take all your ingredients and simmer away all day, shortening prep time and reducing the number of dishes you’ll need to wash. This saves you time and energy while letting you serve a great, flavorful meal to your happy campers at day’s end. You can make a variety of soups, stews, cuts of meat, and even pasta dishes like lasagna in your slow cooker -- the recipes available are limitless.

Don’t Cook

There are plenty of meals that can be prepared without ever turning on a stove or an oven! You can make breakfast, lunch, and dinner with mainly cold ingredients or with a microwave for leftovers. Here are some examples that you can combine to make life easier:

• Breakfast: blended smoothies, yogurt & granola parfaits, cereal and milk with fruit, bagels and cream cheese with smoked salmon, instant oatmeal.
• Lunch: crackers and cheese with lunch meat, cold-cut or veggie sandwiches, egg salad, veggies and dip, fresh fruit
• Dinner: pasta salad, green veggie salads, leftover grilled or baked meats, gazpacho
