Camping Essentials for Skillet Recipes

I love using this Lodge Cast Iron Skillet for all of my sauteing.
These silicone tongs are perfect for flipping and grasping hot food.
This 9QT Overmont Dutch Oven is my favorite for one pot-style meals over the fire.
These long handled wooden utensils make stirring easy and they don’t melt or get too hot!
This cast iron scrubber set is perfect for safely cleaning your cast iron.

Tips For Cooking With Cast Iron

When cooking with cast iron, be sure to season the surface first.
Always use gloves or oven mitts while cooking, as the surface of the iron will be hot.
Cook the recipe over an open fire using hot coals, not open flames. A fire that is too hot will burn the outside of your recipe and not cook the inside.
Be sure to clean the cast iron with a rough vegetable scrubber, rinse, and dry thoroughly before storing.

Camping Meal Preparation Tips

Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible. Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier. Trust me on this one!
Create “one pot” family-style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought.
Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans, or pie irons. These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
Pack ingredients in 1-gallon size Ziploc bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy. These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes, and Tinfoil Packet Taco Salad recipes are some of my favorites.
