Plan Your Menu

Decide the menu for all your meals in advance and stock up your RV kitchen so that all the ingredients are there. Knowing what you want also prevents you from cluttering up your storage space with supplies that you don’t really need on the trip.

Cookware

Depending on the type of dishes you wish to prepare, keep your RV stocked with only the essential cookware for those recipes. Stainless steel is good, though cast iron may be better. Just remember that you don’t have enough burners to put all those pots and pans to use. 

Microwave More Often

If you’re not in the mood to spend a lot of time in the kitchen during your vacation, investing in a microwave is a great option indeed. Whether you want to bake potatoes, steam vegetables, cook instant rice, heat up leftovers, or thaw your frozen dinner, a microwave is all you need! 

Cook Outside

RV cooking doesn’t necessarily mean cooking inside your RV. You could just as well cook a mouth-watering meal on fire pits and grills in the camp. From burgers, hotdogs, and steaks to baked potatoes, veggies, and even grilled food, there's no end to the possibilities when you take your recipes outdoors.

Smart Cooking Tips

First and foremost, you should not throw away anything. Any time you can substitute meal prep with leftovers can not only help free up kitchen space but also fridge space. It’s a quick and easy meal option that won’t require you to spend extra money.

You might also want to consider pouring hot water into a thermos and using it to make hot drinks, instant meals, and any other foods that only require hot water to prepare. Stock up your RV kitchen with milk powder so that you will always have milk available for drinking, making puddings, and other milk-based recipes. Store bread and cakes in the oven to free up counter and refrigerator space and keep these items moist.
