alternate cooking equipment

[charles botts]

What cooking equipment is needed on the road depends upon how much time you
want to spend cooking on the road. We have met some RV'rs who spend a lot of
their time cooking complex, even gourmet meals, because they enjoy that. We,
on the other hand, travel light and eat rather simple meals when we are on
the road. We save our complex cooking for home. We often go to a restaurant
to enjoy local foods as we feel this is part of the atmosphere and enjoyment
of travel. We really do enjoy meeting those friendly people at local
gathering spots. We have often stayed late and enjoyed joining in with the
locals 'till the closing hours.

We removed all mounted cooking equipment from inside our remodeled 23'
except the full size convection/microwave oven. We carry electric skillets
and George Forman electric grill and a gas BBQ for outside cooking. We
removed the stove top and fan. We also do electric coffee makers and
toasters on the inside. Those combinations have fit our traveling lifestyle
very well.

Cool, someone else has done what we are planing on doing to our coach. So
far I have removed the entire kitchen and plan on having only a microwave
and a table top electric burner and a skillet. (and sink!) No gas stove or
oven here! We found out the way we do things, is that we don't cook fancy
meals when camping, it is usually just m-wave and go! So why use up storage
space and counter space with a stove and oven.

Later!

Perhaps we can combine two problems and solve both of them. Use the excess
engine heat to cook the food. This way you can eliminate the kitchen
altogether!

This is not a new idea. There is a book "Manifold Destiny" that covers this
topic. Don't believe me? Try:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0375751408/o/qid=957153890/sr=8-1/ref=aps_sr_b_1_1/102-8567753-8437653

We had a "Strange Recipie" party several years back. I had an excellent Bluefish
cooked on a Healey with peppers and onions. We also made Vegetables steamed in
the diswasher and Steak in a Bag, cooked in a paper bag in the oven. I have
never been to a rally, but this would be a really fun addition to an event. If
I go to a rally in California, I will try to do a roast turkey. No need to
bring along the Turkey Fryer!

A few years ago at a GMCMI convention open house,
there was a coach that had the entire kitchen removed.
The used the space for storage cabinets. The fridge was
still in place for cool drinks. The lady of the house said
that when they were traveling, it was her vacation too
so she wasn't going to be stuck in the kitchen.
