I didn't think anyone used these things anymore Alan, not seen one around for years. My family had a huge one that we did potatoes in, as a child we all stood back in squinty eyed excitement and waited for inevitable explosion when it was opened, potato all over the ceiling :ROFLMAO:.

My old dad would never throw it away and insisted we used it, I notice he never opened it himself though.

We have been using our pressure cooker for years and swear by it. Just a small tip, instead of having to take it outside to let the steam out when releasing the pressure (so that it doesn't end up in the motorhome), just put it under the cold tap for a few seconds, then let the pressure out, easy peasy - try it and see the difference, if you haven't already.
Great for one pot stews.

Hi Keith and a belated welcome to the site, it was nice to meet you in chat. Please don't judge us all by the response of a few. Back to topic, the one thing I missed only having a hob was the ability to warm pies etc. then found a plate on top of the frying pan which is then covered with a saucepan lid makes a great oven to do the job. I can live well out of a frying pan anyway, boiled fried, stewed, or steamed. gives you loads of choice. Pressure cooker, double skillet, cobb (do look that one up using google) if you have not come across one already, Could be a BBQ, bread oven, or roast a joint, great and definately on my to get list. (If anyone has an unuwanted cobb for disposal please do let me know) with a saucepan and frying pan the list is endless,don't forget pasta and rice. Omlette, rissoto, fish dishes, curries stews, chilli beans, spagbog etc.
Corned beef fried in batter, very filling and tasty. So cook away and enjoy, and don't forget fresh fruit. No need to go hungry at all. If you use a hookup why not get a breadmaker.

Chicken can usually be found in every Supermarket and you could take or buy en route jars of sauces ie curry or even take with you some packet sauces and rice. Pasta is another quick and easy meal, again with sauces.

Hi Keith
I think you are worrying over nothing, all what the funsters have said before me I endorse...in our motorhome and it is not the top of the range just a basic normal motorhome we have three gas burners and a oven/grill...BUT I love cooking outside on a single burner (then you don't have all the fat and steam all over the kitchen area) buy what Jim suggested a wok, fantastic for the van ( that is what the Chinese use all the time 1 wok)...and the meals from the wok are endless....one meal / dish you could try......we cook is... (uncooked) Fresh Prawns fried in garlic/chili butter & black pepper on a plate of fried rice

fried rice,
Cook/boil the long grain rice for eight mins in water drain and rest for 6 mins...after, just run your fork through to separate...

Then cook finely diced veg, onion, red and /or green pepper, diced mushrooms, with a pinch of chili powder? (depending how hot your like it) in some cooking oil or sesame oil or nut palm oil about 1 table spoon of oil, cook until there is still a little crunch in the veg's

Add the cooked rice to the cooked veg's,into the wok and shake in some soy sauce depending how strong you like your soy and fry for about 5 mins...keep tossing the mix of rice and veg.....then keep warm...use the same wok, add some butter, puree/or chopped garlic, pinch of chili powder, black pepper fry, for about two to three mins (do not burn) on a hot heat ...

Then add in your uncooked peeled prawns and toss in the butter / garlic mix for about two to three mins until all the prawns have changed colour from translucent / green to a orangey / pink (don't cook to long or the prawns will be rubbery) put some fried rice on a plate with prawns on top and drizzle some of the butter / garlic / black pepper sauce on top.......Mmmmmm
from Mel in France....

only one problem!!!Keith if my wife and I smell the dish you will see two people walking towards you (with there plates) good luck, bon appétit,
also we have a small watt electric chip fryer and also a chip pan, if on a site with electric out comes the fryer, if no electric out comes the single burner and then we are cooking on gas ...and because we to used to have a fish and chip shop ...fish and chips many times ...or battered prawns or breaded prawns....now look what you have done ..I am feeling very hungry
I also I cook crepes/pancakes, omelets all in the wok even use it for frying cook battered fish in it endless what you can cook, chips in a wok...we also have a cadac BBQ ..5 in 1
Hope I have helped you in a little way

Don't know why but i can't access page 6 here.

I don't know if this helps but we usually cook and freeze a chicken and a piece of beef before we go. We then put them in the freezer compartment in the mh. These give us the first two meals and sandwich lunches.

In the last motor home we had 3 burners but no oven. We got a mini oven from Aldi £20 and this is great, bakes fish- in white wine peppers amd garlic,makes cakes ( from packet mix- I'm on my hols!) bakes potatoes.....

Anyone who subscribes to BBC Good Food Mag will have received theirs today hopefully - I have. There is a little book of favourite recipes in it this month, with some great hob top and one pot bits for motorhoming.
We bouil up a piece of ham before we go and if wrapped in greaseproof it will keep for up to 14 days in the fridge. Always available for sarnies and ham and eggs and the bits can go into ham fried rice.:thumb:

There are many great cooks on this forum, I'm sure, so this is not meant to be patronising, please. This receipe is for those who are having to cook on their own for the first time.
Here is a simple hob top stir fry

Ingredients
1 chicken fillet per person cut into cube sized pieces.
1 Red and 1orange bell pepper cut up into cube sized pieces.
1 large onion peeled and chopped up into pieces same size as chicken and peppers.
4 cloves ( or less to taste ) of garlic peeled and chopped up finely.
Half a packet of Bean sprouts
Small pointed cabbage, cut up, veins and core removed and sliced up.
Soy sauce.
Chinese 5 spice powder 1 tablespoon in a cereal bowl.
1 tablespoon per fillet of Cornflour in a cereal bowl.
One ring of dried noodles per person
Sunflower oil or Sesame oil if you have it.

Method;
1Put chicken in a bowl and add 4 splashes of soy sauce to marinade for 10 minutes minimum .Pour yourself a glass of wine.:wine:

2 Dip chicken pieces (previously marinated in soy sauce) in cornflour and coat all over then dip each one into the 5 spice powder. Take a sip of wine.:wine:

3 Heat oil in a large deep frying pan on first burner until really hot, and cover large deep frying pan bottom with chicken pieces. Leave the chicken pieces to brown for a couple of minutes, resist the temptation to joggle them and turn them over.
Fry in batches until they are brown all over and cooked through. (Juices are clear when pierced with a skewer).

4 Remove chicken to a plate and add more oil if necessary. Add pepper pieces and then onion and garlic cook for a few minutes, then put chicken pieces back into the pan with the onion and garlic and peppers . Take another sip of wine.

5 Put dried noodles onto a pan of hot water on the second burner and simmer for 2/3 minutes.

6 Put bean sprouts and cabbage into pan with chicken and cook quickly. Season to taste.

7 Drain noodles and add to chicken in pan. Finish wine!:wine:
Hope this helps.

Always take some spices with you
Chilli powder
Curry powder
Cayenne pepper
Black pepper
Take some sauces
Wok sauce
Soy sauce
Oyster sauce
Garlic
Raw ginger
And if you are brave enough to cook fish and chips ( because you are using deep fat/oil outside)
Always use plain flour
take some bi-carbonated soda to add to the batter pinch is ok with a pinch of salt...you could use beer but I think you would much rather drink it.(not self raising flour)
you only require small amounts of the spices, put then into small polythene bags and put them in a plastic container and the same for the sauces small amounts
With these items you can bring to life/spice up lots of dishes (even ready made food)or add to a new dish.
