Campsite Cooking For Beginners

When you are brand new to cooking while camping, it can be intimidating. It seems like there is so much you need, from cookware and utensils, to various tools and supplies just to make basic foods. The information provided in this report is for beginners. It is meant to give you some basic things to start with, from lists of items to bring with you, to easy and delicious meals to begin with. It is a great starting off point for your campsite cooking adventure.

Chapter 1: Cookware and Utensils You Need For Camp Food

Before learning about the different foods and snacks you can prepare for your family during the camping trip, it helps to learn about some essential supplies you will need. Dont feel pressured to purchase all of this gear, since as you will soon learn, some foods need nothing more than some aluminum foil or a skewer stick. However, it is a good idea to stock up slowly and gradually add these items to your camp cooking set.

Starter Campfire Cookware and Utensils

This list encompasses a good starter kit to begin with. It includes no-frills cookware, some of which you might have at home that you can bring with you. However, if you plan to camp often, you might want to purchase these items separately to be used just for camping. That way, they are kept in a container that includes only camping supplies that is easy to put in your car when youre ready to head out. Some cookware to start with is:

• Pot with a lid
• Frying pan or skillet
• Kitchen knives
• Grate for the fire
• Serving spoon and ladle
• Spatula
• Tongs
• Cutting board
• Oven mitts or cooking gloves

Additional Cooking and Eating Supplies

For cooking and eating, you might need a few other supplies. Here is another list to check off when getting ready for your camping trip:

• Eating utensils
• Cups, plates, and bowls
• Fuel and fuel bottles
• Windscreen
• Pot grabber
• Skewer sticks
• Aluminum fun
• Storage bags and containers
• Water bottles
• Strike-anywhere matches
• Corkscrew
• Can opener

You can add other items to your list, depending on what you intend to cook or prepare on the campsite. Making that handy list during the planning stages will help you determine what else you should bring with you.

Chapter 2: Foods You Can Eat on Sticks

Now lets get into the foods you can cook when youre on your camping adventure! Foods on sticks is actually perfect for a beginner because they are easy to do and dont require a lot of fancy cooking utensils and equipment. As you begin gradually buying your cookware, you can still head out on camping or fishing trips with some basic skewers.

When you are cooking food directly over a fire, just remember to keep rotating the stick in your hand. This allows the heat to be evenly distributed. It is especially important if you are dealing with raw meat. Now without wasting anymore of your time, here are some quick, easy, and delicious foods you can cook and eat on sticks.

Hot Dogs

Hot dogs are naturally one of the staples to camp food, since theyre so easy to do. Hot dogs are good for roasting your lunch or dinner over a fire since they arent technically raw meat, which means all you are doing is heating it up. That makes it perfect for someone just starting out with cooking over a fire.

Make sure your skewers are the extra-long kind so there is sufficient room to hold the stick over the fire without burning your hands. The really long ones even have enough room to slide two hot dogs on at a time. Just rotate the hot dog until you like the amount of char on it. Bring along some buns to create a traditional hot dog or eat it straight off the stick.

Shrimp

Here is a food many people dont think about when theyre camping, but why not? You might have had shrimp over the barbecue as kabobs during a cookout, so there is no reason you cant bring it along on your camping trip. Remember when packing it up that it needs to remain cold and fresh, so it should stay in the coldest part of your cooler and preferably be cooked the night you begin camping. If you feel more comfortable, you can cook it before you leave and just heat it up on the sticks.

For shrimp, marinate or season it however you like. You can go simple with just some salt, pepper, and garlic, or make a spicy shrimp with Worcestershire sauce or chipotle sauce. Place shrimp on the skewers alone or with some veggies, then roast away.

Vegetable Kabobs

For a side dish, vegetable kabobs are perfect when you are camping. These are great because you have full control over what vegetables to use and how to add them to the skewers. You can use vegetables like potatoes, squash, zucchini, carrots, celery, bell peppers, onions, and anything else you like. Sprinkle some olive oil and seasonings to them before you begin roasting.

Bacon

Yes, you can make bacon on a stick! This is a godsend for anyone who wants some bacon with their other breakfast dishes. Get the fire going, then get out your package of uncooked bacon. Wrap a piece of bacon around the stick youre using and hold it over the fire. Some skewers or sticks have little nubs that provide traction, but even if they dont, the raw bacon should stick pretty good. Rotate the stick until the bacon looks fully cooked.

Tip: Use Coals For Stick Foods

When you make food on sticks, you dont want the food right in the flames, or it will burn and char. A better idea is to use hot coals to build the campfire. That way, it is the heat from the coals that is doing all the cooking. You also dont need a huge campfire for these simple campfire foods.

You can make them with the little fire ring that comes with a lot of standard campsites. Just take the grates off if you want to do this the old-fashioned way. You can also leave the grates on and cook these foods on sticks like a barbecue.

Chapter 3: Make These Foods in Foil

Once you master making foods on sticks, it is time to move on to foil! This is another good method for people just starting out with camping or fishing trip, or who have gone camping but someone else usually dealt with the cooking. It is also ideal if you are on a budget and cant quite afford a full camp kitchen yet. Another great thing about making food in foil packets is that the foil can be used as the main plate without having to waste any of your paper ones, or even to eat a meal if you forgot your plates oops!

Tip: Many of these meals and snacks made with foil require some prep work to be done at home, so keep that in mind. If you are currently in planning mode for an upcoming camping trip, now is the time to make notes and lists, and really get this stuff scheduled before you head out.
