Tips: Camping and Outdoor Cooking Tips

• To clean messy bbq grills, use 1/2 onion to scrape off grease and burnt on food pieces. You use the 1/2 onion like you would a scouring pad. I didn't believe it would work myself until I tried it. Monica G., Los Angeles, CA ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• On camping trips, use baking soda for cleaning dishes, pots and pans, hand and even teeth. FabulousFoods.com ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• One great, easy recipe that's always a wonderful meal is the hobo meal. All you need is heavy-duty foil, potatoes, onions, corn, meat, peppers or celery if desired and salt & pepper. If using ground beef you should make small meatballs. Just put everything in a the center of a piece of foil, pull up the corners life a sack & twist closed. Place on the coals and wait for your meal to cook! No clean-up either! Just eat out of the sack - eat with your fingers if it's cool enough. Jamie Sanders from Georgia ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• Freeze your meat before beginning a trip, it lasts better in your camper fridge and a you don't have to shop as often. Also, freeze water in a 1/2 gallon milk jug and put one in the bottom of the frige and it keeps it much colder. If starts to melt you know right away that your refrigerator is off.

• Keep fish hooks from rusting between fishing trips by sticking thm in a cork and submerging them in baking soda. FabulousFoods.com ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• Here's this tip for making ribs: For tender ribs on the barbeque grill I first make sure they have been cut apart (if they are beef ribs); for pork ribs I roll them up. Stand ribs up in a crock-pot adding a little water so they don't stick to the bottom. Heat on high for several hours before throwing on the grill to finish cooking and soak up BBQ sauce. They come out super tender. Loyda Coulombe, Federal Way, WA ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• Try tacking a small cloth shoe bag to the inside of an RV kitchen cabinets. This is handy for holding objects like can openers, spatulas, serving spoons and other items that might clutter up the drawers. FabulousFoods.com ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• Placing an egg into a plastic bag and then back into the egg carton makes transporting eggs safer. If the shell breaks, the mess stays in the bag. Remove the shell and scramble the egg later. FabulousFoods.com ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• If it's rainning and you can't make S'mores, quarter a two inch slice of Entenmann's Cheese Danish (the kind with confectioner's powdered sugar works great) and arrange on a paper plate, top with sliced strawberries and spoon on some melted chocolate. Use a makeshift double boiler of heavy duty foil over a pot of water to melt chocolate bars. June Griffeth, Dunwoody, GA ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)

• If you plan on serving your breakfast eggs scrambled, you can crack them ahead of time into a sealed container - no eggshells to worry about while camping. Just keep the eggs well chilled. FabulousFoods.com ^new (Added: 25-Aug-2003)
