Looking for some cooking ideas

I swear we have as much cooking crap in our truck as we do at the house. I've said before that we don't have the tag axle for extra freight weight....it's just to carry the Puerto Rican's cooking supplies. We even have spice racks mounted inside the cabinet doors.

While I like to give her crap about it, she has proven to me time and time again that she uses every bit of it. We very seldom eat out...usually only when we meet up with good friends on the road.

If you're talking about the pasta steamer, we got ours at Wal-mart...the kind with the strainer in the lid. We also have a crockpot, a single plug-in burner, an electric skillet, a toaster, and a microwaveable rice cooker. As I'm sure Zorry will attest, the island women are VERY particular about their rice.

We've got a real simple recipe for sweet & sour sauce with kielbasa and white rice, if you're interested.

I'm learning what I can do in the truck. I wasn't comfortable with the Convection/Micro at first but I'm getting better. I'm open to any and all ideas.

Thank u so very much

Lol...no. I used the convection/microwave for the meat and potatoes and my electric skillet for the zuccini.

I'd be once amazing cook if I had done all that in the rice cooker...lol

How are you people washing these things? How many times are you reusing kitchen equipment without washing it?

Who are you calling "you people"?

They probably have sinks and running water. Duh...

In the rice cooker, silly - it heats water & makes a good 'dishpan' too. I have a sink, and would have running water - if I bothered to fill the tank. I find it just as easy to keep a couple gallons of water & refill when I go in a truckstop, [and snort at the "2 for $4.00" sale price for gallons of water that cost 87 cents at WalMart].

. How many times are you reusing kitchen equipment without washing it?

As many as I do in a home kitchen: none.

Never. I carry at least 8 gallons of water and I heat water in the kitchen kettle, my little blue pot or the elec frying pan and I was my dishes with hot wate and dish liquid. I also carry 2 plastic tubs to use. Where there is a will, there is a way. You would be surprise at the number of things you can cook in a truck..lol
