I am thinking about buying a portable table top Ice Maker that I can take with us as we travel with our 5th Wheel. I would also like to be able to hook it up in my garage when not camping. Do folks have any recommendations for an Ice Maker. I would love to find a good one that you manually add water when I am campi...

As some of you may or may not know my wife and I are planning in moving into an RV full time in the next couple of years. One of the things she is worried about is making muffins, she loves them. Most of the coaches we have been looking at have combination microwave/convection ovens. Will these bake thin...

I'm a barbecue fanatic. It's not an everyday thing but I like using a charcoal smoker to cook critter. My Weber Smoky Mountain smoker will be a casualty of the divestiture necessary to get this lifestyle going. So help me out here, please. Are any of them worth more than a nickel? I. Must. Have. Barbecue...

Hello all. My husband and I just joined this group and looking forward to gaining knowledge from others. I have learned from friends that some of them use an electric cooking plate to not use as much propane. If you use this, which cooking plate do you recommend? Also, which metal pots do you recomm...

I could use some suggestions on cooking in a convection oven. I have never used one before and when we bought our rig there was no manual for it. I have checked on line with no luck for our model. I tried some canned biscuits,preheated the oven wasn't sure if I had let it preheat long enough. Baked the biscu...

OK, 5.5 years of trying to get the right crispness to certain items, such as egg rolls, and I just figured out parchment paper really helps. I've used it with egg rolls and a few other items and our food now has the right amount of crisp. Just thought I'd share this since it only took me 5.5 years to figure th...

Everyone here seems to love their Breville ovens... but what model. I looked at Breville's web site and they have several models. All of them draw 15 amps to there is no power savings to be had among the various models. My question is what drives your choice of model, size, features, price, somethin...

I like interesting breads and for some reason had trouble finding what I wanted in Florida. I read websites and watched YouTube videos on bread making and decided to start with a bread machine. Turned out that my sister-in-law had two bread machines and was using neither. So we pulled both out when v...

After going on 2 years I still haven't found my perfect kitchen appliance setup so thought I would throw it out there to folks since I am all over the place and getting ready for a big pre-Alaska purge. I started with a Crockpot then bought a rice cooker and was given a pressure cooker. Recently I exchan...

We had this issue ourselves. as I was hauling boxes out of storage we opened up our Crystal (that we bought in Germany) and couldn't part with it. so I had to configure a way to safely store them so that they don't break while in transit. so we have a set of long stem wine glasses, Champaign glasses, tumbler...

While visiting Cedar Key, Fl. we ran across the Key Lime Cake at 83 West Bar and Grill. It was a 37 mile run one way down to the Key and after the first slice we were back 2 more times to enjoy the ice cold Blue Moon and cake. Lola went online to google and found a recipe and my gosh. For all you sweet tooth folk...

I am considering buying a Breville smart oven for our RV. Does anyone who has one find it a problem moving around on the counter while you are driving I imagine it has rubber feet that would grip and it is probably heavy and would not move but not sure

Greetings, How do you pack wine glasses so they don't break in transit?

Consider this a non-scientific poll☺ For those of you with an Instant Pot, how long have you had it and if you have had it for a while are you using very often? Also, do you recommend the 5, 6 or 8 qt size??

Our FP dishwasher leaks. Not bad, but some. It has a fat gasket (3/4 to an inch thick) around the top of the drawer. The gasket is attached with some kind of adhesive and the adhesive is dried and hard. Where the two ends of the gasket meet, the adhesive is particularly dry and cracked. I ordered a new gask...

Which cookie baking sheet are you using for your RV? I will measure my oven this weekend for dimensions but am curious what ones you like that fit in a toaster oven and your RV convection oven. Thank you for your input!

Our fulltiming plans have gone into supersonic high speed mode. We have 14 weeks to get ready to fulltime! Our situation is different as we will be in one place working for about 2 years. So my question...what kitchen items did you take or wish you took fulltiming? What did you find that...

We drink a lot of water. Last time we were living in the TT we bought 5 good gallon jugs and would fill them once a week at the water dispenser thingy. We used them for coffee and to just drink.

So we've got our nice outdoor grill that we probably cook on 3x a week but I always have to do part of the meal inside on the stove.

A recent arrival at a new campsite, after a very bumpy drive across I-40 had me cleaning out the inside of the fridge and wiping down every single item in the fridge. Why? Because something had tipped on its side while in transit and slowly leaked all over everything on the lower shelves. Since going...

Some time ago, my mico/conv oven started to sweat. Now we have to leave the door open to get rid of the extra moisture. It used to work just fine. Can anyone tell me why it would sweat and what to do about it. Thanks.
