Just bought our 2nd 35' Southwind. It's been 10 years between and am now looking to 'invent' the kitchen again. Going with our old standby 'Corelle' for dishes. Been looking at the cookware with the removable handles - Burg-goo - or something like that. Do any of you have any experience with this bra...

Hi all, While out looking at RV's today I was determined I needed more counter space than any of them offered but on the way home realized I actually only use a small area here at home in my kitchen, so I'm wondering if I'm putting too much emphasis on this than need be. In reality do you really need much more...

Ravenlotus · Ravenlotus

I was just curious what kind of dishes everyone uses. I really don't want to get rid of or put into storage my Corelle ware. My husband says we need to get plastic ware. I guess I can see his point if we were going to be on the road more. But for now we are going to stick around our hometown till we can save up a lit...

I'm always looking for recipes that are inexpensive, easy to prepare, and taste good! Found a couple of websites today that I thought I'd share: www.mealtime.org www.5dollardinners.com Both sites seem to have time-saving recipes, tips, etc. Enjoy!

Well we've managed to consolidate all the items in our extra freezer and fridge into our primary fridge in the kitchen in our S&B home. That was a big first step for us, we've had an extra freezer in the garage for all the shopping at Sam's, buying meat when it's on sale, etc. Then we had a smaller fri...

Has anyone tried them? We saw them in Q today and Diane seemed interested. You lay it on your grill and you cook on it. They demoed with chicken,, you know how that sticks,, and they even put grated cheese on it. The BBQ lines even showed through to the food. Unless I hear something bad I'm afraid I won't be...

I have a perfectly good and useable Griswold cast iron griddle that somehow got left in MN when I came south for the winter. So I've been on a quest to find one to use down here, but didn't want to spend a lot of money duplicating something I already own. I've been haunting the flea markets and yard sales for...

Located a CrockPot just the right size for me and my RV. The only bad thing it does not have a temperature control or on and off switch; needs to be unplugged. I took a can of Progesso chicken and rice soup added some small whole potatoes and a half diced yellow onion with a dash of Mrs Dash garlic and tomato...

PIEERE · PIEERE

Wow! Chef Pieere and his crockpot! I found a cornish game hen used some chicken powder from Marauchen noodles and some cut up brown onions. Made a broth put it in my 2 quart crock for 3 hours. Transferred it to a pan and put it in my Rv oven and basting it with margarine and broth. Now I will bake my Sweet Potat...

We're thinking of buying a used RV. I don't like to buy bottled water. What do you do to make sure that your water tank is clean and the water is drinkable?

I didn't find a posting for this, but I'm wondering if anyone uses the George Foreman or other type of electric grills? We spent some time at my son's this summer and used a small George Foreman grill and really liked it. But, I don't know if the extra appliance and weight is worth the convenience? In the s...

Does anyone have any experience with the Microhearth Cookware Set? Our current travel trailer home does not have either a regular oven or a convection oven and I'm looking for some ways to expand my cooking options, especially as it gets cooler and more challenging to use the grill. The reviews see...

Hello to everyone, I am a low fat, high carb raw vegan. My husband and I are discussing fulltime rving upon retirement in the next year or two. So incredibly excited to join the rest of you in such an awesome journey in life. My question here is that I want to continue eating this way, ( fresh fruits only) bu...

Thinking of replacing microwave with a convection oven. Those of you with success with a convection oven, which brand and model do you use and would recommend? We don't use the micro wave and the oven burns the bottom of everything and is so small it really is not usable.

Does anyone carry with them a pressure canner? I'm trying to decide if it's worth the room. I don't use it often, but when I do there isn't anything else that will work. I have already checked the depth of my small pressure cooker and it's not tall enough for pint jars. I like to lightly smoke albaco...

We presently live in the country about 30 miles from where we do our grocery shopping, so we stock up a lot. We will be testing the RV waters this summer with a 3 week trip. I am so used to stocking up that I'm inclined to buy the food for the whole three weeks at once. For those of you who full-time, how do you de...

I have always had an electric stove/oven and lighting this pilot light on my oven is freaking me out. I hate it. My husband can do it cause he is left handed and it is easier for him to reach. At least that is my excuse! Anyway I can't always wait for him to be here to light the darn thing so my question is how...

I have read through the other thread regarding people's likes/dislikes about convection vs propane ovens. As we only have the convection (and all that lovely storage!), we will need to fall in love with it post haste! Tips? The other thread mentions to decrease temp by 25 degrees-so if the recipe say...

We've started the process of slowing paring down all our kitchen appliances, dishes, etc. in preparation for full time RV'ing.

Over the years, a few utensils or tools have proved to be more useful than others in my RV kitchen. My new favorite is a universal lid for pots and pans - sort of a 'one lid fits all'. What are your favorites? How do they make your RV kitchen life easier/faster/better/whatever?

I need some advice. Just returned from our first lengthy trip. Twenty-five miles from home, we totaled our lovely new 5th wheel. Now we think we will just use the older one we had previously since it hasn't sold. Two questions: 1) I got to really love the convection microwave in the new unit. Old...

Hiya! We have a Cougar 5th wheel, about 2 years old now. I'd like to replace my Hamilton Beech microwave with a good micro/convection oven. The HB micro has hot spots in the middle and burns everything, no matter how I try to cook. We've had it replaced twice when it was under warranty and it's just the...

There may be something here about this, but I haven't found it. How do you fulltimers store potatoes in your RV? My wife doesn't like to store them in the fridge.

I've been struggling a bit getting used to only having a convection/microwave and no gas oven. My daughter found a website that will convert the time & temperature of a regular recipe into the proper time & temp for cooking in a convection oven. Thought it might be helpful to other folks who o...
