Easy Clean Up
Rubbing soap on the outside of aluminum pots will make cleaning up black fire soot easier.
You can remove burnt on food from your frypan easily by adding dish soap and enough water to cover the bottom of your pan and then bringing it to a boil.
Add a little dab of butter in oatmeal while its cooking will make the pot easier to clean.
Lightly grease a cast-iron griddle before making first pancakes. Then rub a raw peeled potato between batches. This will produce golden brown flapjacks that will not stick.
Tasty Treats
Dehydrate fruits and vegetables ahead of time at home. For example, use your Open Country dehydrator to dry tomato slices. Once dry, put them in blender to make tomato powder, at camp, put them in boiling water for a delicious treat.
Bring energy boosting snacks such as trail mix, granola bars, dried fruit, beef jerky, fruit rolls, etc. for in between meals.
Use leftover meats and vegetables to make omelets for breakfast on your last day of camping and you won't have to take leftovers home.
Time Saving Tips
Make sure to cover pots and pans when you're boiling or cooking. Meals will cook faster when covered.
Soups, stews or chili can be prepared ahead of time and then frozen. This makes for a quick meal when reheated at the campsite.
Prepare meals ahead of time by measuring ingredients and packing them in ziplock bags, each bag should then be labeled.
Precook rice or noodles at home. Let cool. Store in a ziplock bag. Just heat up in kettle and add to your favorite dish at camp.
Camp Cooking Tips
Don't forget to bring along aluminum foil. Wrap and bake corn on the cob, potatoes, etc.
Sprinkle a few drops of water on sliced bacon to keep it from shriveling in the pan.
Don't salt meats while (or before) they are cooked. Salt starts the juices running and you'll loose flavor.
Grill chicken until half way done then coat with barbecue sauce. This will help to pevent the sauce from burning and create a better final result.
