Gourmet Cooking on a Campstove

Aside from the campfire, our other cooking method is a simple 2-burner propane camp stove.





It doesn't look like much, but some kick-ass dinners have come from this little setup!  

Steak

Doesn't require much elaboration- just sear them off on high heat and serve!



Breakfast

Eggs, Omelettes, Sausage, Bacon... 



Burgers

We made some GREAT burgers on one trip, with sauteed mushrooms and onions.  We even did salmon burgers for our vegetarian!




Salt Potatoes

If you live near a Wegmans, and you haven't tried these, you're missing out.  You'll need a large pot.  Rinse the potatoes and put them in.  Then dump in the included packet of salt.  Fill with water until the potatoes are JUST barely covered.  Then boil for at least an hour.  Put the potatoes in a bowl and drench with melted butter.  (Helpful hint:  a tea kettle is great for melting and pouring butter on camping trips!)  These are incredibly easy and SOOOOO good on a camping trip!!


Pancakes

There are 2 ways to do this.  The easiest way is just to buy the shake & pour version.  Then you just add water, shake it up, and pour the batter into the pan or griddle.  You could also pre-mix the dry ingredients in a ziploc, add the wet, squish it around until mixed, and pour out.  I prefer the first method.  :-)  But fresh hot pancakes are irresistible on a cold morning!
