Cooking Tips When Out Camping
By Kadence Buchanan

While we were kids, my brother and I, had the opportunity of
traveling around the countryside with our father and explore
everything our home country had to offer to the three
musketeers, which was our code name. Unfortunately, in most of
these trips our mother was left behind as she had to work and we
were given the chance to spend time with our father who as a
nature lover took as almost anywhere our car and feet could lead
us. These trips were our time together with our beloved father,
who while we were young did everything in his power to spend as
much time with us as possible. If time was not the issue back
then, we tried to keep the budget under logical limits, so all
these trips were made with our car that was carrying on its roof
our specially designed and hand-made (by my father) tend.

During those camping times and since our mother was not near by
to feed us, our father was apart from the designated driver and
the leader of our group, also the cook that served us some of
the best meals we have ever tasted; probably because we were
really hungry by the time we eat. The truth is that I still
remember the taste of his pasta and if I could go back in time,
I would love to experience again the thrill of singing with my
brother while our dad was smiling cooking his amazing pasta on
our carry on kitchen supplies.

Other campers tend to agree with my remark as they support that
camping cooking can be some of the best cooking there is. Close
to the environment and while being able to smell all that
wonderful tasty food coming out of the fire, many agree that
there is nothing better. If you are a beginner in camping, you
should know that there are several different methods that can be
used when cooking while camping, like wood fires, camp charcoal,
stoves, foil cooking and more. The type of cooking method is
directly related to the food you will decide to make and how you
like it cooked sometimes decides what method you should be
using. But then again there are several camping cooking tips to
consider before cooking and camping out.

Consider freezing the meat for instance. Freezing it ahead of
time can keep the meat fresh and other foods cool as well. My
father used to be proactive like that and plan ahead of time. He
also used plastic bags or containers to keep measured portions
of the food that was about to consumed, safely contained. I
think it is also best if you want to avoid food from sticking to
the pans to apply oil on the grill. Finally, put matches
somewhere safe to keep them dry as many camping cookbook recipes
require the use of natural fire and there is no better way to
start a fire than with matches. You can also keep your drinks in
a separate cooler from food as it can helps keep foods colder
longer avoiding any kind of spoilage. Finally, a great tip is to
keep water bottles when they are empty because they can become
great camping cooking containers to put the salad dressing,
oils, or any other liquid substance.
