Will be camping on my block. Be “Total fire ban” I imagine Dec–Jan.

So what are some good electric cooking gear? (I will have water and power on the block.)

Car fridge to keep fresh food good.
Electric jug for making tea/coffee

Need a pan to boil 3-5l water (preprared meals, pasta etc)

Electric wok or frypan—reccomendations?

Also—any suggestions for dried food I could bring? I won’t be 5 minutes from a supermarket!

Monk's house

Wrong forum! Try your own blog. John Smith should be able to tell you all about bush tucker and how to make fire by rubbing 2 sticks together 😂

I love what he's done with the place.

Just a man in his van. I like the patches on the awning.

You can still use a gas BBQ during a total fire ban:

Can I use a gas barbeque?

You can use a gas barbeque under the following conditions:

    It is under the direct control of a responsible adult, who is present at all times while it is operating;
    No combustible material is allowed within two metres at any time it is operating;
    You have an immediate and continuous supply of water; and
        The barbeque is within 20 metres of a permanent private dwelling such as a home; or
        The barbeque is within a designated picnic area and the appliance is approved by Council, National Parks or State Forest.

Your only issue may be the 'designated picnic area' thing if it's your own property.

Yup, no house there yet either. And Tasmanian rules would apply, not NSW ones. But I will have power and running water.

Good Guys are having a sale, will have a look there today.

The trusty old Sunbeam electric frying pan(or similar) has a large capacity with temperature control and lid, they will cook anything from steak sausages bacon eggs mushrooms and tomatoes or banana fritters for breakfast to 4 pan fried toasted sandwiches at once for lunch to stirfry stews caserones chips anything for dinner, there are probably some deserts that can be cooked in them as well.

mmm time for breaky.

get yourself a portable electric induction cooktop. With the improvements in solar, a lot of campers are swapping their gas cookers to induction because they don't need to carry around a bottle of gas or worry about refilling



https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/electronics-marketplace-lenoxx-2000w-electric-dual-induction-cooker-portable-twin-hotplate-cooktop-stove-ic800/

just make sure your pots and pans work on induction BEFORE you get there. ::)

That is what I decided. One induction plate, one electric frypan, one jug to boil water for tea and coffee.

Lots of dried foods:

Rice and pasta
Dried peas, beans, lentils
Sundried tomato, tomato paste (concentrated if not exactly dry)
Flour, polenta, semolina, cornflour
Packet soups—not ideal but if there is a good brand a quick meal
Jerky
Full cream powdered evaporated milk

Any other possible dried foods? Foods easy to reconstitute and turn into a reasonably tasty meal?

Yeah, an electric frypan is useful for a lot of different meals. Induction plate for more concentrated heat. I like pancetta but have not found a shop selling that but bacon will do.

Will try to find an (American) biscuit recipe that does not have that overpowering baking powder taste (same with scones) this would allow me to make quick fresh bread. Maybe bicarb + buttermilk?

Will Monk the drunk make a still for moonshine?

In five weeks? Are you an idiot as well as a grub?

Other dried foods:

Dried fruit: apples/pears etc sultanas etc
Rolled oats

you're the only idiot obsessed by Dapto. You do realise that you live much closer to it than I do, right? ;D ;D

You are allowed comfort fires most of the time, in Tassie that would be about 364 days of the year.

Well, maybe.

Got an induction plate, electric frypan and an electric kettle.

.

Need some lights next.

You are pretty well set, you now just get a microwave oven a mini toaster oven an air fryer rice maker bread maker and a toasty toaster machine.

Candles can be used for lighting.

I will be camping in a garden shed for 5 weeks! Don’t need half a restaurant kitchen  :) :) :)

Bullsh1t. Solars there, the batteries arent for that kind of draw. Literally everyone camping in the bush has a gas bottle or 2.
