How to Cook in Your RV

Preparing food on the road can be a bit of a challenge, as great as your RV kitchen is. The smaller space and lack of full-sized appliances may make it seem like it’s easier to just get takeout or shop at the camp store for your food. However, cooking nutritious, tasty meals on the road can be done if you take the time to prepare for it. As your local RV dealer, MIG RV has the tips you need to prepare delicious, healthy meals in your RV.

Prep at Home

If your RV has a microwave, then preparing batch meals in advance at home is a great way to ensure you have hot, healthy dinners on the road with little fuss. Cook large amounts of your favorite stews, chilis, lasagnas, and other freezer-friendly meals that can be portioned out into Tupperware containers that you can simply throw in the microwave. A bagged salad and loaf of fresh bread from the local grocery store is all you need to complete the meal.

Use a Slow Cooker

Slow cookers are the unsung heroes of a standard kitchen, and they’re even more useful out on the road! All you need to do is fill them with your ingredients (water or broth, cuts of meat, chopped veggies, spices, and sauces), turn on the heat, and leave them to cook while you’re outside in the sunshine. When you return, you’ll have a hot meal all in one pot. 

Try Cold Meals

Finally, it may be helpful to plan some meals that don’t require you to fire up the grill or turn on the oven, for especially hot or busy days where cooking is the last thing you want to do. A sandwich buffet, granola and yogurt parfaits with fresh fruit, pasta salads with leftover meat from the night before, and charcuterie boards are all fun meals that don’t require you to stand at the stove sweltering.
