What do you cook in your van

Food

We have a large "wok style" frying pan.
We eat stir fry's a lot. so that does both meat and veggies.
We have never used the small oven to cook... only to warm up or keep warm
Rice cooker if on EHU but mainly boil..do rice and potatoes together
Breakfast.. Toast bread in a high quality frying pan . eggs of some description, croissants . porridge sometimes
Lunch .. cold meat/cheese/pate and salad my wife does noodles. (very quick)
Soup
We also stir fry left over rice with diced veggies and add an egg (eggfriedrice)
For evenings we use a Gas BBQ when weather is OK so chicken pork lamb or beef steaks and good sausauges
We have a 3 burner cooker but only seem to use one at a time.
I do miss a roast but good quality meat almost solves the problem.

We some times buy a (HOT) ready cooked whole chicken or ham joint etc from a supermarket.
Fish and chips.
We almost never eat in a pub .. simply because we prefer our own cooking and enjoy the cooking (as well as the result)

I'm meeting up with a few others at a pub just outside Oxford, it is an arranged meet on another forum, but some of the alcoholic pyromaniacs from here are going too.

It's a Valentines meet, but I'm going on me lonesome! :cry:

Is that you treat to Mrs Robmac?
 
We also eat the same in the motorhome as we do at home, the exception being whole chickens/joints and roast potatoes as they tend to take far too long to cook, oh and we cheat with shop bought Yorkshires too, wouldn't attempt to do them in the van, but have made our own bread. :tongue:
 
I cook food and the occasional child if they stray near my van only the naughty ones I can't eat a whole one so Penny and I share. :scared::scared::scared::lol-061::lol-061::lol-061::lol-061:

If you think I am coming round to your gaff to put it to the test then you are too far up the monkey puzzle tree. I am rather attached to my bits & I don't want them chomped on.

I don't think?

Well maybe?

Aw, go on then!!:p:p

You name it, we cook it - bread, cakes, roast, bake, boil, fry, grill - if it is edible it can be cooked in a motorhome :D

A tip, though - we usually cook fish outside the van (we have both gas and electric outlets outside) because, even with the extractor fan on the smell can linger!

Hello Folks,

For those of you who do not have an oven, check out the link below.

The "Pan set for the No.2 cooker" comprises a square stainless steel pan which has a lid with folding handles that becomes a frying pan when removed from the square pan. Together they can be used as a "Dutch oven" on one of the gas burners.

You will need a small trivet inside the pan to stop things burning.

I cook pasties and pies in mine, as well as vegetables.
(Coat your vegetables in cooking oil and place on the trivet, put the lid on and light the gas. About 20 minutes later they will be cooked, leave them too long and they will be charred on their undersides).

The firm offering them (see link) has grade A and grade B items.

The link:-
PAN SET FOR No2 & No12 STOVES GRADE A

See you at the Anchor, Epney.

Regards,
Martlet.
 
Hello again,

Cheers.

Do you have a link for a suitable trivet?
 
Hello st3v3,

I made mine by folding the edges of a rectangular piece of aluminium sheet, so that it can stand on the edges at the bottom of the pan, with about an inch of airspace below it.

Regards,
Martlet.
