subject: Camping Trip - Easy Ways To Cook Your Meals [print this page] There's no better way to breathe in the fresh air and get out of the city than traveling to the great outdoors and communing with nature. But camping trips doesn't mean freezing at night and eating cold food.
You may want to contact the facility ahead of time or check their website for information because some campsites don't allow fire. If you want your camping experience to be more fun, try using cooking stoves and heaters which are designed for outdoor use.
There are features and a variety of sizes available for these camping stoves. Make sure to choose one that would suit your needs the best. For example, if you'll be hiking with your equipment, then choose a camping stove that's small and light.
Consider a stove with multiple burners if you're driving to your campsite with your family. You'll be able to cook more with these stoves. You can even cook eggs and pancakes on stoves with grills.
Using a special cookware for camping will allow you to cook more than one dish at a time. You can cook multiple dishes because they're stackable, and you can heat the top pot using the one at the bottom. Not only can you conserve your fuel, you can also prepare food more quickly. When you boil your food, use the smallest pot or pan and little water so that you can conserve your fuel.
Depending on the manufacturer, there are camping stoves that take various kinds of fuels. Fuels that are commonly used include propane, white gas, or butane. You can also use kerosene and unleaded gas, but it's not preferable because it's not considered safe and emits an unpleasant odor. Considered as the safest is Coleman fuel, or white gas, and it also burns clean without odor or charring. The cleanest burning fuel is propane, but it's also pricey and it doesn't burn as hot.
To choose the right size of fuel canister, find out the amount of cooking you'll be doing and long will your camping trip last. Cook sparingly and choose a small canister if you'll be hiking with your equipment.
Bringing your own cooking source is more convenient and less of a burden even if cooking facilities are provided by some campsites. If you want an enjoyable camping trip, then plan ahead and bring your own cooking stove.
