Taking a trip in your RV is a great way to explore new places and spend time with loved ones. But we all know that your camper has its limitations — including its kitchen. Cooking in an RV can be challenging. That’s why we’ve created a list of tips and tricks for cooking in your camper! Read on to learn more, and give us a call at Casa Grande RV Sales in Casa Grande, Arizona with any questions. We are proud to serve Chandler and Gilbert too!

Plan Before You Leave

A little planning can go a long way in making your trip and meals go smoothly. We recommend mapping out each day’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. This will help ensure that you have all of the necessary ingredients and the right amount of overall food. Since space is limited, you don’t want to overpack, but it’s important to have enough food for all of your passengers. Planning for leftovers can also help save space and time!

Cook and Freeze Meals in Advance

Another tip to simplify cooking in your RV is to prepare and freeze meals before your trip. Take advantage of your home’s kitchen and cook up some of your family’s favorite meals! Portion out the food into microwavable containers and all you’ll have to do is reheat it as you travel.

Shelf-Stable Foods

Having perishables on board your camper can be risky. The simplest and easiest option when it comes to cooking in your rig is having shelf-stable foods in your kitchen. The temperature of these foods won’t need to be regulated and they last a long time too. You’ll also save space in your fridge so you can store those foods you would rather not eat canned. Pack some items like oatmeal, peanut butter, cereal, and canned tuna.

Get a Slow Cooker

A slow cooker is a perfect appliance to have in your camper’s kitchen! You can prepare a wide variety of meals like stews, soups, roasts, chilis, pasta, and even dessert. A slow cooker will take up very little space and it doesn’t generate much heat. When it’s time to clean it, all you have to do is wash one pot. Toss in your ingredients in the morning and you’ll have a wonderful meal ready for you when you get back in the evening!
