Tips: Camping and Outdoor Cooking Tips

  • Try York Peppermint Patties or Thin Mints instead of the tradional Hershey's for S'Mores. The Grant Family from Indiana new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Organizing tips: Do everything you can before leaving home. Take everything out of the original packaging and put in whatever you would have to store it in while camping -- hot dogs and pre-made salads in a ziploc bag. Mix hamburger with seasonings and onions and put in a ziploc and smash flat. Put all condiments in squeeze bottles (mayo jars take up too much cooler room). Pre-cut onions and veggies, etc. K. Cooper from Idaho new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Here's another method for making tender ribs: Cut the ribs into sections, put into a foil bag (like the new Reynolds bags, or you can make your own by cutting two pieces of foil the same size and folding them together). Put in a 1/2 cup of water, close the bag tight, put on the second shelf of your grill and cook on LOW for one hour. Take ribs out of bag and finish cooking ribs on the grill with the BBQ sauce. The ribs will fall off the bone everytime. Lee Pravitz, Dover, DE new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Even if you don't like ot for drinking, use powdered milk for cooking as its easier to store, lighter to carry and cheaper than regular. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Here's an easy, inexpensive and less messy way to make S'mores. You can buy the fudge striped cookies ( $1 at a dollar store or Wal-mart) and a bag of marshmallows. Roast your marshmallow then squeeze it between two cookies. It will melt the chocolate on the backs of the cookies. The Alston Family, Lufkin, TX new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • If you have a meat & potatoes, veggie & salad type of family, this is a good time saver. Put as many potatoes as you need in large pot, leave skins on.cover with water and put on top of potatoes a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil. Put fresh ears of sweet corn on top of the foil and cover (if you don't have a lid large enough, place a second piece of foil on top of corn). When potatoes start cooking, corn will steam and both will be cooked at the same time, using the foil as a server & also keeping it hot till ready to eat. Mean while, your steak or hamburgers are cooking. Time it accordingly. Potatoes should take about 1/2 hr. Also, put your cut up salad in a large plastic bag and shake, with or without salad dressing. This saves time and dish washing. A delicious meal just like you were home, in about 45 minutes with prep. & cooking. Molly Segda, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • A cup of baking soda and a cup vinegar poured down a drain can help clear a clogged drain. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • To clean foods that have burnt on a barbecue grill, enclose them in a large plastic garbage bag. Mix 1 cup baking soda with 1/2 cup ammonia, pour over the grills, close the bag and let sit overnight. The burnt on pieces will have loosened making the grills easy to clean.

  • If you like to make chicken faijitas, buy split chicken breasts and cut off the bone. Leave the skin on so when you grill it, the chicken won't stick to the grill but the skin will so you can flip the meat over and cook it on the same piece of skin. Lori, Germantown Hills, IL new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
  • Remove stubborn cooked on food from dishes by sprinkling pan with a half cup or so of baking soda and an equal amount of white vinegar -- let soak for a few hours before cleaning. FabulousFoods.com new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
