Cooking up a storm at camp used to mean, cracking a baked bean can and if you were to splurge a can of spaghetti and meatballs, or chunky stew and heating it up directly on the campfire, requiring no refrigeration this was usually enough to satisfy a mountain man\u2019s cravings for protein, whilst still a valuable camp food staple for when supplies are running low, cans of food are no longer the go to for when you get hungry on the tracks!<\/p>\n

With massive advances in technology and manufacturing, there are now a handful of ways you can bring nutritious meals with you on the tracks for way less than you imagined.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

REFRIGERATION<\/p>\n

In the past, you either had to stash cold meats into pools of icy water in an esky or with a high performance 12v fridge that used to cost more than a month\u2019s wage, and neither option really helped to inspire a lot of confidence for the average camper!<\/p>\n

Now with modern components and set and forget temperature controls the Adventure Kings range of fridges offers a reliable way to chill your food and drinks on the tracks with the same high quality components used across the industry, with the choice of a compressor powered\u00a0<\/strong>60L Fridge\/Freezer<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or a massive\u00a080L<\/strong>\u00a0Fridge\/Freezer<\/strong><\/a> unit for keeping all of your fresh food and drinks cold, and at nearly half the price of what the opposition are charging you\u2019ll have plenty of spare change for a way to cook it!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

COOKING<\/p>\n

With many different styles of cooking there is a solution for everyone at 4WD Supacentre, we have made sure that there are options for open fire hotplates<\/strong><\/a> or gas BBQs<\/strong><\/a>, traditional portable bedourie ovens<\/strong><\/a> for roasting, and even a handy set of stainless steel BBQ Tools<\/strong><\/a>, to make cooking easier.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PLANNING<\/p>\n

When planning meals for your trip, you will need to consider how much space you have for keeping meats fresh, if you are on a longer trip, even though your 60L Fridge freezer can easily store up to 81 cans, keeping just a few cans cold whilst occupying the rest of the chilled space with meat and dairy is a wise idea. If you organize your food and with the added ability to include all the plates and cutlery for your group, in your Titan rear Drawers <\/strong><\/a>you will have an organized pantry wherever you go!<\/p>\n

Long life foods, such as pasta, rice, and even long life milk coupled with tins of tuna, pre-prepared freeze dried meals, and even substituting things like bread, for wraps or Lebanese bread for extra-long storage without needing regular restocking make travelling much easier!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

KEEP IT SIMPLE<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you are preparing food at camp, the faster the better, when you have an army waiting for food, a simple feast will please the masses. By cooking your food before you leave, all the preparation is done, and all you\u2019ll need to do is reheat, one of the easiest ways to pre-prepare your food is by sealing it up using a Vac sealer, like the Kings<\/strong> <\/a>Vacuum Sealer<\/a>,<\/strong> by sucking all the excess air out of your meal and keeping it cold in your fridge.<\/p>\n

By vacuum sealing, you eliminate the risk of harmful bacteria. You can also use the vacuum sealed bags to help reheat your food simply place the 290mm wide\u00a0bag into boiling water for a few minutes. Cutting open, and dinner is served, cooking inside the bag also means you do not have any messy cleanup after eating!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SNACKS<\/p>\n

This one is often overlooked, when you are out camping, there aren\u2019t many places to stop for extra food, so packing snacks like chips, chockies, along with fresh fruit are a good idea, as those middle of the day snacks that fall between meals can certainly make the difference between going hungry or not.<\/p>\n

Now that you are armed with all of this knowledge and all the right gear you can head out into the bush nearly indefinitely with the ability to eat fresher foods that taste better, and as a result live healthier, whilst making sure that your hunger is satisfied thanks to the awesome gear from 4WD Supacentre and Adventure Kings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
