How to Cook in Your RV

When it comes to doing daily activities in your RV, one task that often feels a little more challenging is cooking. The typical RV kitchen is smaller than your standard apartment or home kitchen and the space can become hot, especially when you’re camping at the height of summer. But cooking in your RV saves you money and helps ensure that your family eats healthy food on your travels, so what should you do? Try some of these tips.

1. Cook Outdoors

Pack a portable grill that you can use to prepare food outside, thus avoiding the heat of a kitchen. Grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs and vegetable kebabs are perennial favorites. If you go fishing, you can wrap your fresh fish in foil and prepare that on the grill, too!

2. Prepare Extra Food

If you can prepare more than one meal’s worth of a given food item, you can use it for additional meals over the next few days. Cook extra meat or grains that you can recombine in different ways. For example, cold leftover chicken and leftover pasta from the night before can be turned into a delicious pasta salad with mayonnaise and fresh vegetables.

3. Try Using a Slow Cooker

Slow cookers don’t get nearly enough accolades, considering how useful they are for campers. All kinds of foods can be prepared in a slow cooker, from the standard chili and pot roast to stews, pulled pork, barbecue chicken and even pasta or dessert dishes. You don’t have to do much prep work; the slow cooker will turn your cuts of meat and vegetables into a delicious hot meal over the course of the day.
