Home Cooked Meal At Camp
Posted by admin under: Equipment .
I’ve tried to tell some of the boys in my Boy Scout troop that they should prepare things at home. The only issue is that they don’t usually get together as a patrol before the campout in order to do the purchasing and preparing so it would generally fall on one boy’s shoulders to do things this way. I try to tell them about the advantages, but so far to no avail. I’m not going to force them. I just demonstrate the advantages when I get the chance so they can see and learn. Camping Blogger has a great article on this idea. He’s taken it to the next level describing how you can make a whole meal and then reheat it at camp.
The key to pulling this all together and making it work at the campsite is a great product from Reynolds®, the aluminum foil people, called Slow Cooker Liners. They look like plastic bags, but are made from a heat resistant nylon, which means they can be boiled in water – very handy for reheating your gourmet camping meal!
…
Crock pot meals are easily transferred into two or three Slow Cooker Liners and allowed to cool, before placing in the freezer.
…
When it is time for a meal, simply drop a frozen cube, still in its Slow Cooker Liner, into a pot of boiling water to reheat. The end-result is a tasty meal, no cleanup, and only the thin and lightweight Slow Cooker Liner to pack home.
