We always have pie irons packed in the travel trailer for camping. They are such a handy tool for making quick meals, snacks and desserts. We’ve even pulled them out to use at home on the deck with our propane fire pit. The kids love using pie irons for dessert at home too!

Tips for cooking with a camp cooker:

• When cooking with a camp cooker, begin by applying non stick cooking spray or oil to the inside of both cooking plates. This step is important so that your delicious meal doesn’t stick to the plates and burn.
• Place your recipe ingredients into the cooker before closing and latching it.
• Cook the recipe over an open fire. We recommend placing the cooker over the fire for two minutes before unlatching, checking for doneness and flipping the cooker over to cook the other side.
• Use caution when handling both the metal latch and handles as they can become hot while cooking.

Meal planning is essential whenever we go camping! This way most of the mess stays at home and we have delicious meals ready for our entire trip.

Camping meal planning tips:

• Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible. Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier. Trust me on this one!
• Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought.
• Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans or camp cookers.These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
• Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size ziploc bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
• Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy. These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes and Tinfoil Packet Nacho Dip recipes are some of my favorites.
