With everyone trading in their winter coats for shorts and flip-flops there’s no better way to embrace the warm weather than outdoor cooking. But what is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear those two words in the same sentence? Most people would say burgers and hotdogs, or maybe steaks. But we say fried chicken, smoked ribs, and everything in between! This year it’s time to think outside the box and explore past the outdoor cooking stereotypes.
People love to socialize in the summer with pool parties and cookouts. If you typically host these large gatherings you might want to consider adding an outdoor fryer to your cooking collection. A fryer is one of the most versatile and resourceful cooking appliances, not to mention everything tastes better once it’s deep fried. You can make almost anything from buffalo wings and fried catfish to homemade tortilla chips and desserts like fried ice cream. And with their large capacity baskets and quick cook times you can easily feed a larger group of people in a shorter amount of time. Don’t forger to save your oil which will save you money. R & V Works offers a selection of outdoor Cajun Fryers , from large to small, for every individual’s outdoor frying needs.
It’s true that some things are worth waiting for. And for the dedicated outdoor cook whose willing to devote the time and effort into his or her recipes there’s no better outdoor cooking appliance than the smoker. They may not produce quick results, but their the best way to achieve maximum tenderness and flavor. Their sealed cooking chambers helps break down the connective tissues in even the toughest meats, to get fall-off-the-bone ribs, smoked turkey or an entire beef brisket. Smokers are also a great way to utilize rubs and marinades, as their long cook times produce a much stronger flavor. The Cajun Smoker from R & V Works is a great place to start for beginners. With it’s pressure regulator to control the PSI in the cooking chamber it’s one of the fastest smokers in Louisiana.
Despite all these different options for outdoor cooking we don’t mean to insinuate that traditional isn’t still delicious. And there’s no reason that simple outdoor grilling shouldn’t also have limitless options. Holland Company offers a variety of outdoor grills for everyone, from The Companion for low profile cooking to The Vintage for the heavy duty barbecues.
