Cooking in Your Holiday Rambler Motorhome
If you own a Holiday Rambler motorhome . . . you already know that the ups and downs of cooking in it are a myth. There are no downs to cooking in a Holiday Rambler motorhome. Cooking is cooking whether you are in your home to which your mail and newspaper are typically delivered or in your home on wheels that carts you from vacation spot to vacation spot and distant relative to long lost friend. No matter where you are headed or why you are thinking about buying your first recreational vehicle, you have to dispel with the myth some will toss your way that the RV is an unsatisfactory method of living when it comes to cooking your own meals within the vehicle.
There are countless sites online that will enumerate many different ways in which to fully take advantage of your mobility in the RV while you are cooking your own meals. Some will say that you are better off going the crock pot route. Doing your Holiday Rambler motorhome cooking by crockpot will typically enable you to dictate your meal time by your activities instead of the other way around. Most crock pot meals are a little more lenient on the “time” aspect. You’ll find that while a recipe for oven use will prompt you to cook something for one hour and fifteen minutes . . . a similar recipe designated for a crockpot will say something like one to four hours, depending on which heat setting you choose, how tender you like it, etc. You’ve got the option to decide whether you want to cut the hike short and head back to the Holiday Rambler motorhome directly for dinner or enjoy and let the chicken get extra tender. The crockpot is also typically given high marks for its lack of heat suffusing the Holiday Rambler motorhome. Sometimes cooking in the heat of summer you’ll find it’s not worth standing there over the hot stove or oven sweating and looking out the window at the kids playing in the pond . . .
There are books, forums, advice columns, magazine articles . . . countless resources, really, that will advise you on how to cook, when to cook, what to cook. You’ll even find grocery lists included with itineraries for specific trips and meal plans with nutritional information provided. If this type of planning seems ideal to you then that is wonderful. You should look into it. Find one of the many resources and follow the instructions for a trouble free, stress free, and very well planned dining experience while traversing unknown lands in your Holiday Rambler motorhome.
But if you are more the type to jump in your Holiday Rambler motorhome and show up in the elementary school parking lot to pick the kids up two hours before school even gets out on a Wednesday to start on a trip across the state you’d decided the family should take half an hour prior to departure . . . planning meals isn’t really a good way to go. It would probably ruin every attempt at spontaneity that you are obviously good at and be unsuccessful to boot. When you get in your Holiday Rambler motorhome to head out on your next adventure you should just cook and eat the same as you do at home. That’s right cooking your Holiday Rambler motorhome doesn’t need to be any different from cooking in your kitchen at home. If you’d like to make it different feel free; eat extravagant, exotic foods or foods local to the area you are visiting. The point is that it’s a personality feature. It depends on what you’d like to do.
If you are a very detailed plan type of person that creates a plan for everything and successfully follows them to a tee, then continuing to do so for your vacation seems like a good decision and one that would most likely result in success. But if you are the type that indulges yourself in spontaneous decisions and “what do you feel like for dinner at 6 PM” type of questions . . . why force yourself to fit into a designated itinerary for eating that you won’t only hate, but that you probably won’t finish successfully anyway? You know you’re going to end up eating Friday’s mangoes for the avocado mango salsa Monday afternoon before you drift off for a nap . . . and why shouldn’t you? YOU’RE ON VACATION!
