If anyone likes jalapeno poppers, I accidently found a way to get most of the hot out of the pepper. A month or so ago, I bought some and then had a senior moment forgetting that I had put them in the vegetable bin. A week later, when I got them out, I noticed that the the skin was wrinkled. I prepared them an...

We have always used bottled water (gallon jugs) for coffee, tea, and drinking. That's going to be a lot of jugs of water when we go full-time. We used a filter coming into the camper. Do we really need to use bottled water? A Brita pitcher? What do others do?

I am getting overwhelmed. We are getting ready to move out of the s/b and into the 5er in about a month. So many questions. have seen a 12volt slow cooker at camping world. Do I need to get that I can I use the one I already have, the one I use at the house? Seems like a dumb question and trust me I will have a w...

Friends: We just purchased a new 5th wheel with a Sharp microwave/convection oven. I have never used one before but am excited about the possibilities. The manual says it if fine to use metal or aluminum foil pans for convection or combination cooking but I'm wondering if it might make sense to go wi...

I know you are never supposed to use any cleanser powder in an RV, but what about SOS or Brillo scouring pads. Sometimes there is a need to use something to get burnt or stuck on food from pot or pan. When we rented an RV in New Zealand, most camps had community kitchens and I just took a hard to clean pan the...

I'm looking for our FT 5th wheel, & I've found a used 5er that has an Advantium convection/microwave, no propane oven. I know virtually nothing about convection ovens. From what I've read so far, it sounds like you can't use a convection oven for toasting. In our house, I have a toaster oven tha...

I just experimented with making a french onion soup. It turned out to be a cross between a BP oil slick and swap water. Does anyone have a recipe that produces a spicy taste, but yet retains the traditon of the soup?

I saw in yesterday's forum that Linda is having problems with her Keurig. We have had a Keurig for a couple of years and we really like it but it does require cleaning of the water ports with a paper clip from time to time. We had purchased the reusable filter basket so that we could use different coff...

We are currently in a very humid area and our sinuses have been acting up. Also, during the cooler months when we cook inside the windows condensate. Does anyone have any experience with dehumidifiers in an RV? Saw a NewAir ADS 400 which sounds great for an RV, but does it work?

In today's sue happy world, I have a problem. We just bought a 16", everything but the kitchen sink on it pizza, from WalMart. Got it back to the RV and found that it won't fit into either the stove or the convection microwave. Should I sue WalMart or the designers of my RV?

Our convection oven/microwave had bad stains on it when we purchased our coach, and I've tried everything to get them out (to no avail). Any tips?

I tried this recipe a few years ago and it instantly became the family favorite for cranberries. We keep some mixed up as long as we can buy cranberries.

If anyone is still interested there is a Nisson Thermal Cooker 4.5 ltr on sale on e-bay. The Buy It Now price is only $779.00. To those of you that already have them -- Aren't you glad you got them when you did. I think I will order one from Down Under. They are only $200.00 there.
