Level up your trip to the beach by pondering about different activities to do there apart from water sports and swimming. For instance, you can camp out by the beach and as long as it is allowed, you can even light up a bonfire in the evening and roast marshmallows while everyone is gathered around, sharing stories, singing, and dancing. In the morning, have a cook fest because you will never run out of fresh seafood and ingredients that can make up a delectable dish when you are out on the beach. In line with the latter, below are some cooking tools you can bring to your next sea adventure.
Knives and Cooking Utensils
Perhaps the most important cooking tool that you should never forget is, of course, a multipurpose knife. You actually have the option of bringing with you a full set that is securely organized in a sealed container so that you are sure to have a fillet knife readily available for you to prepare fresh fish. Nevertheless, you can also opt for a multi-purpose utensil wherein the spoon and a fork already comes with a knife. There is also a complete set of utensils, good for camping, which you can likewise bring to the beach. These complete sets often come with all the things you need to prepare your ingredients and cook the dish. Often, a complete set even comes in an organizer or pouch that keeps all your kitchen essentials in place.
Pots and Pans
Aside from cooking utensils, you also need to bring some pots and pans with you. There are those made from aluminum, which makes them durable and strong, while there are also those made from stainless steel, which makes it more heavy-duty. You can also opt to bring titanium-made pots and pans which are often easy to clean and lightweight.
Collapsible Cups and Bowls
Collapsible cups and storage bowls make it easy for you to fit them into your kitchen bag when they are empty because you can simply fold them down. Often, these are made from silicone materials which makes them durable and easy to clean. These can hold both hot and cold food and drinks and they even come in different colors and sizes. Because of their bold colors, it will be easier for you to remember the dish contained in them even without having to open the seal from time to time, reducing the risk of your food being spoiled.
Barbeque Grill
If the space in your car allows for it, you can bring a barbeque grill station with you, but that is without the cart. A BBQ grill store will most likely have this model in parallel with a grill station with carts. If it is for your outdoor kitchen, it is preferable that you go with the modular island type of barbeque grill station. Nevertheless, if it is for your sea adventure, you can always opt for the portable charcoal grill. The portable ones fold up like a briefcase, making it easy for you to carry them anywhere you go. In any case, you can always consider renting from the nearby beach resorts within the vicinity.
Portable Stove
There are several types of portable stoves that you can consider such as liquid fuel stoves, compressed-gas stoves, or solid fuel stoves. Liquid fuel stoves use gas, kerosene, or alcohol, while compressed-gas stoves use butane. On the other hand, solid fuel stoves utilize wood or flammable pellets. These stoves slightly differ in terms of the environment they work with, as well as the time it takes for them to heat up to cook your food. For instance, compressed-gas stoves usually don’t work well in colder temperatures, but these can be perfect for your beach trip. Liquid fuel stoves may require more maintenance and more fuel bottles to keep them working, while solid fuel stoves may be too small in terms of cooking for a large group of people.
Cooking is definitely more fun when you are out on an ocean adventure because of the fresh ingredients that you can use to come up with fabulous dishes. As such, keep in mind to rent a barbecue grill from a nearby resort or bring a portable one because grilled seafood should always be part of the menu. Portable stoves will also come in handy, as well as collapsible cups and cutlery carefully organized in a pouch. These are only some of the cooking tools that will make your life easier in terms of preparing the food perfectly during a sea adventure.
