Tips: Camping and Outdoor Cooking Tips

• Always take plenty of heavy duty aluminum foil on your tent camping trips. You can make so many things from aluminum foil including sauce pans, lids, bowls, even water bowls for your pets. Sis Ward, Hot Spring, AK ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• There's never enough room in an RV or Camping kitchen to take everything. Cooking pots with handles do great double duty as mixing bowls when not being used on the stove. FabulousFoods.com ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• Grill beef over medium, ash covered coals. To check for temperature, cautiously hold the palm of your hand over the coals at cooking height. Count the number of seconds you can hold your hand in that position before the heat forces you to pull it away. It should take about 4 seconds for medium heat coals.

• Salt beef after cooking or browning (unless it's added to the dredging flour) as salt draws moisture out of beef. FabulousFoods.com ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• When ever you need to mix tuna for tuna salad, first put all ingredients in a 1 gallon sealable plastic bag, remove excess air, then I just blend ingredients by squeezing the bag. Then snip off 1 corner to squeeze out the amount needed for sandwiches, salads, and etc. This idea can be used with many other foods such as deviled eggs, seafood salad, meatloaf, seasoned ground beef for the grill and so on. This is extra nice to prepare foods on camp-outs, picnics, or carry dish for get-togethers (and a lot easier to transport). Enjoy the food and an EASY clean-up.

• De-grease and clean barbecue grills by applying a baking soda paste with a wire brush, let set for about 15 minutes, then wipe clean. Let the fire burn away any excess residue before you begin to cook. FabulousFoods.com ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• Handy tip for when you're buttering lots of corn on the cob: melt a stick of butter in a pan of hot water. The butter will float, to butter corn, simply dip in the pan, the butter sticks, the water doesn't. Janice from Wisconsin ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• Add a natural tenderizer to chicken, beef and lamb, by sprinkling with fresh lemon juice. Lou from So. CA ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
