Tips for Cooking in Your RV
Life in an RV can be extremely rewarding, and even more so if you’re able to cook delicious meals. After all, who doesn’t enjoy having good food? Unfortunately, some RVs only come with kitchenettes or other small food preparation setups. This can make it difficult to cook how you want, especially if you’re used to a much larger residential kitchen.
We here at Zabukovic RV have put together some tips for cooking in an RV. Read on to learn more. If you’re interested in shopping for a new RV with a bigger kitchen and more space, stop by our dealership in Pueblo, CO.
Use Every Tool You Can
You may have limited space in your RV, but that doesn’t mean you’re limited to the few appliances that come installed in your camper. If you’re finding you don’t have enough space in your oven or on your stove top, try using a slow cooker or microwave to expand your cooking capabilities. A slow cooker is a great addition to a camper because it allows you to cook a one-pot meal with only a small amount of active cooking time. A microwave can be used for more cooking projects than you might think, from steaming vegetables to preparing a simple soup to even making a dessert.
Prepare and Freeze Meals Ahead of Time
A great way to save space and make cooking simple is to prepare dinner ahead of time and keep it in the freezer until you’re ready to eat. By cooking ahead of time, you’ll greatly reduce the amount of bulk and weight you have to pack with you. Just think about all the vegetable trimmings and trash that can go into making dinner and imagine all of that gone. When it’s time to eat, simply drop your bag of food in a pot of hot water or reheat it in whatever way is appropriate.
Cook Outdoors
While the inside of your RV may be tight on space, the chances are that you’ll have plenty of room to spread out outdoors. Fire up the grill and pull out a few foldable tables and you’ll have a kitchen space of your own. Not only will you reduce the amount of humidity and cooking odors in your camper, but you’ll also have more space for cooking.
