When many friends talk about RV travel, they always ask about cooking. Yes, this is also an important part of RV travel. After my one-month RV trip, I also gained a lot, especially the experience of RV kitchen.
What facilities are not worth installing in the RV to reduce unnecessary weight and price? Only the kitchen is difficult to measure. Our food culture is too extensive and profound, and we are very particular about tastes.
If it's like those countries with fast food culture in the United States and Britain, French fries, bread and milk hamburgers can be heated in the oven and microwave oven. Our understanding of food is different. I don't have so many requirements for food. Although I am also a glutton, it is easy to solve it.
during the trip, I don't expect to eat like I do at home. There are soup, meat, vegetables and rice at every meal, especially in the RV. I need to spend a lot of energy and time on these things, such as washing vegetables, washing rice, cooking, etc. I go out to play, not cooking, so I try to buy fast food in the supermarket.
I can eat it when I open it in the car, and I don't want to wash dishes, so I go out to play comfortably, so I don't have much requirements for the kitchen. Do I need an induction cooker, a microwave oven, a rice cooker and an external gas stove?
For me, it is basically negligible. The microwave oven can also heat pasta, and instant noodles can be used only when a kettle is used to boil water. No matter what, it is not impossible for me to find a restaurant to have a meal.
friends who have the same idea as me may not need it, but friends who like cooking will have to consider it.
Electric appliances for cooking, that is to say, friends who want to cook with electricity, should be mentally prepared. Although induction cookers, microwave ovens, rice cookers, etc. are all common kitchen equipment, their power consumption is very high. Compared with RV, the wattage is too high. Originally, solar energy can only store several kilowatt-hours of electricity every day. When cooking with RV batteries, there is no electricity at once.
The external gas stove can solve the problem of energy shortage. Cooking outdoors will cause onlookers, and there may be dust. If you stop at the roadside to cook, the dust and tail gas on the road will not blacken your dishes.
then you need to find a quiet place and take the time to find a parking place. Eat a meal: rice noodles, cooked food, cold dishes and soup, which are basically the four kinds.
Every kilowatt hour in the car is especially precious, and it is used for cooking, which will be very wasteful. Try to use alcohol stoves, gasifiers, cassette stoves, gas stoves and other stoves in one place for a long time.
electricity is usually supplemented during driving. if you really want to cook every day, you'd better bring a generator and cook whatever you want, from morning till night.
In the selection of electrical appliances, try to choose the ones with smaller wattage. The electric pressure cooker can be used while driving, but it consumes a lot of electricity.
an alcohol pot is also a good thing.
the biggest problem with liquefied gas tanks is that they are inconvenient to replenish, and they are not brought in some places. Tibet and Xinjiang definitely don't allow you to bring gas tanks with you.
Wood-burning stove is a thing with a strong sense of experience. In the most primitive cooking, fuel can be picked up everywhere. When leaves and dead branches are poured into it, it will ignite and burn. It is ok to play at ordinary times, but it is too small and not practical.
The supply of food is not a problem at all. With such a high level of urbanization, there is no man's land. There are small towns and counties all the way, so I don't worry about eating at all. I just eat when I get off the bus, so I basically get off the bus and find a place to taste the local flavor. Isn't it troublesome to bring my own food to cook in the car? And missed the local food.
prepare some dry goods and cooked food in the car. Common ones are sausages, sausages, dried vegetables, pickles, jiaozi, instant noodles, biscuits, etc. The main reason is that you play outside too late, or when you arrive at a destination, the neighborhood is closed, so you can cook a delicious meal with the ingredients in the car.
The kitchen is still recommended to be outside. Cooking outside will be a little embarrassing or troublesome, but it will definitely be much less troublesome than cooking in the car. Even if you have a smoking machine, the smell will still be heavy the next day and the clothes will stick to a smell.
In case of extreme weather, eat some fast food and quick-frozen jiaozi in the car. In a word, don't use it if you can fry it, and don't use it if you can fry it. Steaming and boiling it in water are the most convenient and healthy.
