Tips: Camping and Outdoor Cooking Tips

  • Baking soda can clean stains on fiberglass RV bodies. Scrub with baking soda on a damp sponge. For tougher stains, apply wet baking soda, let dry then wipe away. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Here's a tip for cooking hamburgers more evenly and avoiding the sydrome of well done edges and rare centers. Make a tiny hole, about the what your index finger could fit through, in the middle of her burgers. During grilling, the hole in the middle will disappear but the center will be cooked the same as the edges. Charlee S from Missouri new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Make your Hobo Dinners ahead of time. Put hamburger, potatoes, carrots, onion and seasoning in heavy foil. Place the hamburger on top of ingredients, except for the onion, to let the juices soak into the other ingredients. Seal tightly and freeze. It'll help keep things within your cooler cold, instead of extra ice-packs. Just thaw, cook and serve. Terri, New Ulm, MN new (Added: 25-Jan-2004)
  • When cooking over a campfire, keep soot from building up on pots and pans by first rubbing some bar soap over the outside bottom and sides of the pan, then proceed to cook as usual. CLean up will be much easier and need less water. Cheri, FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 27-Jun-2005)
  • Keep toilet paper dry and clean on camping trips by storing the roll in a large plastic lidded coffee can. Jerry F new (Added: 27-Jun-2005)
  • We try to recycle everything. You can make a great campfire starter by taking empty egg cartons and filling the compartments with the lint from the dryer trap. Then melt down the left over wax from candles around the house, pour over the lint and there you have it, instant fire starters. Just break off a few cubes and throw on top of your tinder, charcoal, what have you. Neil new (Added: 27-Mar-2005)
  • We usually camp near the water (lake/stream/river, etc)When we have burned-on food stuck to our grate, we'd scrape the majority of it off, and set the grate into the sand, the waves and sand would clean off the stuff that was impossible to get off. Stacy, n.w.Iowa new (Added: 28-Jan-2004)
  • When pounding chicken into thin cutlets, place the breast in a resealable plastic bag with about 1 teaspoon of water and your favorite seasoning. Pound the cutlet flat. The water in the bag will prevent sticking to the bag, and the bag will prevent splatter and keep the pounder clean, and the seasoning will infuse the meat with flavor.

  • For your camp kitchen, be sure to pack tongs, heavy gloves (for handling wood), disposable lighter (long type) and a pump-type spray bottle for holding your cooking oil. Jayne L., Long Beach, CA new (Added: 3-Oct-2003)
  • To clean the dust and dirt from your canvas trailer, be sure the canvas is well dry and using a stiff brush scrub the dirt out. Be sure the canvas is completely dry for this to work. Don , Hamilton, Ontario new (Added: 30-Jan-2005)
