Chances are some of you might be taking a camping trip this fall. Camping can be a great experience, but that experience can only be heightened with the right tools . One of the most important things about camping is successfully cooking your own meals. This is much more rewarding if you are using the right tools. Here is a good checklist for any camper who wants a genuine, cooking experience.
1. Trivets are a necessity for slowly cooking an item in a pot over your campfire. Most trivets are collapsible. Some come with three legs and others with four. Some trivets are actually used to elevate food items directly over other cooking utensils like the Lodge Logic Trivet Meat Rack . This trivet is 8 inches in diameter and is used to elevate food items inside a dutch oven that is placed inside the campfire. This cast-iron item is used to suspend the meat just barely above the bottom of the oven to prevent burning and is ideal for outdoor use.
2. The dutch oven, like the Lodge Boy Scouts of America Camp Dutch Oven with the official boy scouts of America emblem, is a practical tool for cooking several types of food items over an open flame. These pots have a heavy lid that is as heavy as the pot itself so that it can be buried in hot coals from the campfire on the top or bottom. It can also act as a regular pot ascended from the trivet. A A Lodge Camp Oven lid lifter is always ideal to protect your hand from your Dutch Oven’s scalding lid.
3. A great way to start your day off camping is to have breakfast. Skillets are handy to have when frying bacon, ham, eggs and other foods. The Boy Scouts of America skillet is a good cast-iron pan to have when going camping. This skillet has the Boy Scouts of America emblem engraved at the bottom of the pan and a durable cast-iron body.
4. A cooking table is good to have by keeping all your outdoor cooking supplies in one area. This is a good place to put your dutch oven or skillet allowing it to cool before eating. The Lodge camp dutch oven cooking table has an attachable 12” windscreen that collapses with folding legs and adjustable feet.
5. Skewers are always practical to have if you are wanting to roast marshmallows or weenies.
These are just a few of the essential products to have on-hand for camping. Here at J.E.S. We can satisfy all your outdoor cooking needs.
