A camping holiday is also a camping adventure. With these tips, you can turn any camping meal into a party!
FEEL THE HOLIDAY ADVENTURE: COOK A Tasty GRILL MEAL!
Cooking at the campsite is a lot of fun! You are on vacation, so you have plenty of time to choose a recipe for a tasty and healthy meal in your spare time. And how nice it is to get the necessary ingredients at your local bazaar! On vacation, the weather is usually pleasant, so you can cook outside on the Skottelbraai grill. But since you obviously don't have all the cooking utensils at hand, cooking on a campsite requires creativity.
In this blog, we will be happy to help you with camping cooking with some practical tips and tasty barbecue recipes. We will also tell you which camping equipment should not be missing when cooking at the campsite.
5 TIPS THAT WILL MORE SIMPLIFY COOKING AT A CAMPAIGN
There are no luxuries at the campsite - such as a 4-ring hob or microwave - but it has its own charm. However, a minimum must not be missing! 😉 Camping is as easy as at home with these tips!
- Place your grill or stove - especially in warm countries - in a cool place in the shade
- Find a windless place to cook on the gas grill
- Take a (small) tourist cooler with you to cool meat, butter, etc.
- A deep wok pan, Paella or Skottel pan for stews is essential
- Prepare a meal right away for 2 days or for new neighbors from the tent / trailer next door!
THESE CAMPING EQUIPMENT MAKE YOUR CAMPING COOKING EASY
The following grilling accessories really should not be missing from your camping gear.
- Paella Pan; use this pan not only to prepare delicious Paella, but also to fry vegetables, meat or fish.
- Tapas set; for frying eggs, cherry tomatoes, pancakes etc.
- Spatulas with heat-resistant handles, so you do not burn your hands while cooking
- Cutting board; for cutting fresh vegetables and meat
- Silicone brush; for greasing the grill plate with (sunflower) oil
NECESSARY FOR CAMPING: SKOTTELBRAAI
Whether you are going on vacation with a tent, caravan or motorhome, the Skottelbraai grill is not to be missed. Skottelbraai is a gas grill with a large Skottel bowl with a cooking surface of not less than 48 cm. This practical camping grill is ideal for making quick stews with noodles, rice or pancakes. Such meals are of course very popular on vacation!
COOKING ON THE ELECTRIC GRILL ON THE CAMPING
It is best to make sure before you go that the campsite has adequate access to electricity to cook freely on the electric grill. If so, it is worth getting an electric grill. It has the advantage that a constant cooking temperature can be set exactly on it. In addition, the electric grill is safe and easy to use.
3 TASTY SINGLE COURSES ON A CAMPING

VEGETABLE GRILL
Grilling at a campsite doesn't mean you have to eat meat every day. You can also bake delicious casseroles or pizza. What about grilling fresh vegetables or baking potatoes? No problem - on the camping grill you can actually prepare any possible grilled dish or one pot dish on a Skottel or a paella pan!
On hot summer days, cold dishes are always welcome. The grill is then not necessary. Think of a fresh salad or a salmon wrap.
