Sometimes road trips can become too fast-food heavy if you’re trying to avoid the shortcomings of your RV’s kitchen. However, with a few shortcuts, you can enjoy all the fun of cooking while you’re camping without sacrificing nutrition, taste, or time. Here’s a list of tips to make that small camper kitchen much more appealing so you can make great food on the road for you and your family.
Utilize the Microwave
Fancy cooks may eschew microwave usage, thinking these devices are nothing more than frozen-meal reheaters for the uninspired.
For Boiling Water
However, your microwave can take away the need to boil water on the stove, which helps keep your RV cool in hot months.
For Cooking
Use the microwave to steam vegetables, cook potatoes in their skins, and make mug cakes for dessert.
For Leftovers
Plus, the microwave lets you reheat leftovers quickly, allowing you to take advantage of cooking in large batches ahead of time. If you wanted to be really ambitious, you could cook and freeze meals in advance in your home kitchen, then pop them in the microwave for delicious healthy dinners on the road. Don’t underestimate the power of the microwave!
Always Be Cleaning
The reduced square footage of an RV kitchen means you have less space to spread out, so you won’t be able to leave piles of dirty dishes all over the place. Clean as you go: compost your food waste, put away spices and oils, and wipe down counters.
Plus, if you rinse off dishes as you use them, you can avoid having liquids and sauces crust up, which saves you time later.
Reduce the Dishes
The fewer dishes you can use, the better, so trying to condense your cooking into one-pot meals can help keep your workspace clear and free up the sink from soaking dishes and dirty pans.
