HOW TO SET UP YOUR CAMPFIRE TIPS PANTRY
SO THAT IT PRACTICALLY TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
campfire cooking tips
One of the most common complaints people make when they go camping is the amount of food preparation required. The campfire chef also has the pressure of being responsible for creating a delicious energizing meal or creating something that even a bear would look twice at!
Whether you get food right will very much determine the success, or otherwise, of your camping trip. When they say “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” they should have substituted the word “camper” for “man”.
Here are a few tips for ensuring your
campfire pantry practically takes care of itself:
If you are only going away for a short trip you can prepare all hot dishes so that you have more time to relax at your camp site and enjoy yourself.
If you are going away for a longer period of time with a longer destination be sure to continually stock up on supplies as you travel.
Stock up on fresh fruit and vegetable at every chance.
Take as many basic ingredients as you can such as jams, sauces, herbs, spices and condiments.
List everything you will eat on the number of days you are away.
Keep extras always on hand which includes flours for cakes and breads, noodles, rice, beans and lentils.
Remember long life milk (two to three cartons of long life milk per day should be sufficient for a family of two children and two adults as a guide).
Allow extra milk for baking.
Close milk carton tops with a peg, tape or bulldog clip.
Pack dried vegetables.
Pack tea, coffee, sugar, chocolate powder, cordial, salt, pepper, sauces, instant gravies, soup mixes, long life cream and long life custard
Bring tins of cooking oil as opposed to plastic containers for strength and durability.
Margarine travels better than butter and is usually more readily available and is a lot easier to spread.
Bring a few tins of baked beans and spaghetti but leave the rest at home because they are too heavy.
Pack coffee, chocolate drinking powder, Vegemite, other sandwich spreads and jams in plastic containers. Screw top glass jars are notoriously unreliable and can cause a huge mess.
