Camping: Cooking tips

JoJoB

We are going camping in a week and I was intending to get a new camping stove with a double burner and stove, but decided to economise and make do with the basic one burner campingaz stove for now.

With this type of stove can you use your normal saucepan/fry pan etc from home or would it spoil them? I've found the camping versions of these pans rubbish!

Any ideas on food/recipes would also be nice. So far I am thinking eggs, bread, soups, tins of tuna/sweetcorn/mayo mix, wok rice with a packet casserole/curry.

hiya, sorry if you already heard this from others, am pretty new to this, you didnt say how long you were going for or whether you had access to fridge,electric hook up etc.. but here goes......ordinary pans are fine, however if it is the regular campingaz little stove they can sometimes be top heavy if using too large a pan, and so possible topple over!! i tajke meals i have prepared earlier and frozen eg spag bol, stews etc if planned well, meals will keep frozen in cool box for several days, and eaten in order can give several days or really easy meals, \stir fry meals quick and easy with many home and bargain or B and M stores having cheap wok rice noodles and veg and sauces right now. tins always useful, can do cheat chicken and mushroom using campbells condensed chicken or mushroom soup and adding chicken and mushrooms, or a cheat mince using mince and campbells condensed oxtail soup, really depends what u like to eat, what you can cook, and how much time u have......i got a smallish wok with lid, and use it for many meals, hope this helps a little
