There are more than enough ways to cook your food no matter what sort of meal you are trying to achieve, and when we are stuck at home, we tend to use the oven, the fry pan, or the BBQ. Most meals can be easily cooked inside the oven which allow you time to do other things while it is cooking away, some things are better off being cooked inside a frying pan over the hot stove, but this requires a little more attention and will keep you occupied so that it doesn’t burn or spray oil or fat everywhere while you aren’t looking. Lastly, the common BBQ, generally used when people are at a gathering of if you want to have a quick and easy fry up and not leave the kitchen smelling like a commercial cookery class. Also good for standing around to stay warm while you have a beer or two waiting for the snags to be ready to land on bread. Once you venture out in the Australian outback, you need to find other ways to cook your food and compromise by not having an entire kitchen at the ready like you would if you were keeping warm at home. But don’t despair, as you can quite easily chuck a hot plate over the top of the campfire, or use a gas-powered BBQ set up to cook a feast that anyone would be happy with. Aside from these methods which are quick and easy, there are also more traditional ways that Australian’s have cooked their camp food for a long time, and they are still some of the best ways of doing so. Not only that but they also create a talking point for recipes and stories of successful meals cooked on previous getaways.
