Everything in a Pro Chef's CAMP KITCHEN! | Cook Out with Chef Maria Hines

[@drdrew3]

This is literally everything in my home kitchen that’s been put in a storage bin and placed in a van

[@alexhsu.explores]

Everything AND the kitchen sink!

[@chefmariahines6759]

Right?!

[@cherishrake9562]

Literal goals

[@melissarobinson9618]

I love my silicone dish scrubber ($3) I can sanitize it when needed and it doesn't break down. (I have used sand/gravel to clean my dishes before and the scrubber is a little easier) If you have mini shampoo containers (from hotels) reuse them to hold your dish soap, super handy and compact. And it might be overkill, but fireproof (industrial) gloves help to handle cast iron without worrying

[@rei]

Heat resistant gloves are a great add, Melissa! We also really like your suggestion to reuse/repurpose mini containers. They come in handy for so much.

[@PulpParadise]

Just regular leather gloves work as well.

[@loricollins3163]

Love it! A have a box with a hand coffee bean grinder, drip cone, #2 cone filters and fresh coffee beans! Oh, teas, honey and my special camp mugs for these comforts! I also use plastic stacking and locking tool boxes with little separators to make it easy to find these essentials. Thank you for the ideas to add a few more specialities: zester, grater, etc…

[@chefmariahines6759]

Oh Lori! You are talkin my language 🙌🏽

[@arlenesolis024]

Awesome 😎 Maria ! I’m going to organize my camping kitchen. My fave is rolled out kitchen organizer. I can sew 🪡 one with a fun fabric. I love how you organize everything. That’s the key to a happy camp kitchen

[@rei]

We bet that will come out great! Happy sewing, Arlene.

[@chefmariahines6759]

Love that you’re going to sew your own knife/tool role, that’s the spirit!

[@emo1461]

I love to cook at home but not so much in my RV. You have motivated me that I am excited for our next trip and there will be good cooking involved 😀👍🏼 Thank you 😊

[@itsjustmel1217]

Ooo I like that bamboo bowl tho. 😮😍

[@chefmariahines6759]

Ya, with a lid which is super handy!

[@hoosierjeff8622]

Another awesome video with Maria ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rei]

🙌 We hope that it inspires your own camp kitchen set up!

[@chefmariahines6759]

Thanks Jeff! I appreciate you.

[@chefmariahines6759]

I adore my Opinel. I was gifted my first Opinel, by my chef in Chambery, France, when I was cooking there. That knife is always in my camp kit 😍

[@naturalmeditation101]

Yes! This is super helpful.

[@chefmariahines6759]

Awesome Robert. Happy to help!

[@ktownc936]

Where can I get that knife/utensils roll, it's exactly what I'm looking for so thanks for showing!

[@perryknetter8577]

Great video very informative 👏 👍 keep your videos coming God's Blessings

[@chefmariahines6759]

Thanks Perry!

[@janiswilliams2766]

I really appreciated the piece on spices as I was really trying to figure out how not to carry to many but definitely have the essentials. I dedicated video on spices would be great as well. Thank you!!

[@rei]

Thanks for watching!

[@chandaharkins4418]

I loved this even though I will never take this much stuff with me. 😉 Love your humor, too.

[@neilt7490]

Great video. Inspiring me to up my camp cooking.

[@chefmariahines6759]

It’ll make the whole trip more fun!

[@kimberlychason6238]

Thank you for the video! Who makes the folding serrated knife with the corkscrew?

[@jeraldheinrich3589]

Alot of great tips. I'm trying to upgrade my cooking ,even when touring on motorcycle. Traveling with the rooftop tent to go mountain biking , dirt biking and winter camping the cooking situation changes.

[@heather3802]

Random comment: but her voice is amazing! So soothing and relaxing. Loved this video, very helpful and I’m excited to try this out 😃

[@nnamaste9]

You are doing Amazing 😍Thank you for sharing!

[@chefmariahines6759]

Well Namaste to you my friend. It’s so much fun to do the show!

[@alanaya6786]

Hello , your video is very helpful. I am just starting to get into outdoor cooking. I agree with your philosophy about being able to have amazing food outdoors as you do at home and at a restaurant. I have been slowly been putting together an outdoor kitchen and your video is helping a lot. Especially coming from a professional chef. Thank you

[@louisperich6678]

just… wow. my home kitchen doesn’t have all these things. I wondered what a pro chef does when they go outdoors. love your passion for food, cooking, and feeding people. I have to admit, as someone who’s idea of splurging on a camp meal is to actually HEAT the MRE before consuming. I found the idea of a zester, finishing salt, and a whisk for whipping cream to be…exotic. My very minimalist setup will however be adding a shallow metal tray courtesy of you, so thanks! Gonna re-watch this vid as your whole approach is so different from everyone else I’ve seen on KZbin that I find it fascinating.

[@rei]

Ha! We love hearing how this video has inspired your minimal camp set up, Louis. Enjoy re-watching and have fun with your outdoor meals!

[@cynthiabartz2157]

My gosh, this is like my whole kitchen that she takes camping. I would take just one bin that size.

[@quincybirwood2629]

Same thing I thought. That's a lot of cooking gear. Is there any room left in the vehicle for shelter, clothing, recovery, photography or any other type of gear?

[@jennmcgrath4507]

This was straight up awesome. I'm so inspired to up level my outdoor cooking game. I do the spatula thing to. So excited to see more about cooking in the outdoors, it's such an art and Maria's passion is addicting!

[@rei]

What an awesome comment! We couldn't agree more and love that you find Chef Hine's as inspirational as we do. 🙌

[@talkandeattv]

as a chef this is extremely relatable

[@CaliVapor]

What an amazing chef! 😊

[@rei]

Thanks! See anything you'd like to add to your camping kitchen? 🧑‍🍳🥘

[@serendipity6277]

Really enjoy what you keep in a pinch. Very valuable as I am trying to build one for my car.

[@itsjustmel1217]

Wow I thought I was like the Only person who scraped my food out, I don't like to waste food either. 👍

[@chefmariahines6759]

Ahh yes, food waste is something I’m always mindful of. I’ll have to do a “food scrap” recipe idea episode 😁

[@chandaharkins4418]

Also better for leave no trace when washing out the pots. 👍

[@heidih2887]

Can only imagine the "surprise guests" that might happen to "innocently" wonder past/to your camp kitchen area, once the aromas are wafting through that fresh air! :D

[@rei]

From time to time, those guests probably include other humans! 🤤

[@mjremy2605]

WANDER, not WONDER. You WANDER in the woods while I WONDER where you are.

[@lilliandurham7713]

Maria, really appreciate your “pare-down” set. I tend to pack for a crowd, just in case, but I travel solo so I also have a complete set of single serving pots & utensils. Now I know why I love my fish spatula (not just for pancakes). And the spice & container kit was a thorough base starter cover-the-needs list. Love REI stuff; hope to see more. Applause.

[@rei]

Thanks for watching Lillian!

[@dnlandes]

I need to know the brand of that picnic knife, the bag the cleaning stuff is in, and the silicone food containers. Please!

[@kieseley]

Not sure about the first two but the silicone containers are Stasher brand!

[@askdrsullivan]

Why???? Did it take YT over 3 years to recommend this video to me? Do they even know me at all? This is so full of great info and Maria has an infectious joie de vivre!

[@aumarigan]

Love it!

[@chefmariahines6759]

Thanks!

[@malcolmlewis5860]

I love your food values and ideas. I will review my kit in light of your advice. I think a focus more on cast iron, stainless and Teflon pans or Aluminum would have been interesting. An Aussie, we take camp ovens (Dutch oven type of thing).

[@fearlessdreamsart]

Superb video! Thanks 🙂

[@jenniferbostrom759]

I’m gonna send this video to my friends to justify my elaborate setup! Love the utensil roll and the nesting stainless containers. Thanks!

[@louspeed1]

More power to you (or anybody) for hauling all that cooking gear for a campout.

[@amiestreater]

Could you please share a link for the knife/utensil roll?

[@rachaelsorsabal551]

I have been thinking about how I can begin creating a car camping kitchen. As I age I’m finding that backpacking is becoming harder and harder (body parts breaking down). I want to continue to explore places but that’s going to take some adjustments. Thank you for giving me some great ideas.

[@willothewispl]

Totally already carry a lot of these things. 👍🏻

[@brandyhouston2105]

Educated now...thanks for making the video 😎

[@rei]

We're glad you enjoyed it Brandy!🙌

[@marc31415]

what brand is BIN #3? I like the side handles.

[@PulpParadise]

Don't laugh, I've made cheese with spoiled milk while camping. ;-) It turned out great! Thanks for this great list, Chef Maria & @REI!

[@kaykrochet9099]

Thank you.

[@keiajinfilms]

holy guacamole, now THAT'S a pro set-up! i think at the point where you have a camp kitchen this sophisticated, you're really running a camp restaurant. 😅10 out of 10 would pay good $$ to eat at this pop-up restaurant in the woods. but even better that you have this set-up solely for the reason that you & your wife & friends just like having it! For future videos, it would be great to see more guest chefs and foodies - you've had some great folks along for the ride so far - but also more cooking lessons for us amateurs. Covering the basics in an outdoor setting would be especially appealing. for example, i'm in the perhaps enviable situation of having lots of people around me that know how to cook. since i don't have to do it, it is intimidating to learn. but taking something that normally seems challenging and putting it in a setting that is so appealing is super empowering! i love being out in the woods, and learning a skill while there makes learning much easier. a long way of saying: more cooking lessons in the woods, pls & thank yooou :):)

[@shavonkeaton8628]

What is the brand of the cutting boards

[@bethelteshuwah9824]

My camp kitchen is very similar.

[@johnfortwengler4496]

Great video but I'm curious what would you take for backpacking trip. Kitchen

[@chefmariahines6759]

Great one John! I’ll do a backpacking camp kitchen video sometime.

[@gertvanpeet3120]

Most can be done with An Opinel....sharpens on any stone... carbonsteel from France...

[@kevinweng4254]

I'd suggest a ceramic honing rod instead of that aggressive butchers rod for those hard Japanese knives.

[@itsjustmel1217]

Wow that is a Very Packed utensil pack, most of us be trying to cook/make everything with one fork, knief and spoon hehe. Jk, kinda.

[@chefmariahines6759]

Lol, Yes, it’s pretty elaborate. For car camping, I go in pretty heavy, cause….why not?!

[@itsjustmel1217]

I'm going to get me one of those bags and be like Chef Maria Hines said it was okay so... 💁🏽 ☺😄

[@MeiraV-]

Maria seems lovely, but this kitchen set up seems impractical, complicated, and incredibly expensive.

[@DebraWilderMeditation]

wow that's more gear boxes than my car holds. Who's washing dishes?

[@chefmariahines6759]

Yes, it’s a pretty beefed up camp kit. For an outdoor cooking show, it all gets used pretty heavily. I’d slim it down to half of that in real van life 😁

[@janiswilliams2766]

@@chefmariahines6759 I’d like to see that … I was thinking there is no room for the food! I’d like a vid on that too. That was fun though… just need to pare it down some for space issues.

[@williamwood6616]

Definitely excessive if you have a film crew! I would love to see a single stainless steel mess kit and titanium spork with a old hickory boning knife and nothing else!

[@emilymartin5418]

This isn't about minimal kit, it's about creating a great kitchen when car camping. Your way is not the only way, William, nor is it the best.

[@chefmariahines6759]

Sounds like a backpacking camp kitchen episode is in order William. I’ll keep it on my radar!

[@lindamorgey6736]

I made it with Woodglut plans!

[@Arbie812]

I would be vastly more interested in this series with a vegan chef.

[@sleepyntired_]

Yes!! Loved seeing what she does, but a lot of it doesn't apply to my lifestyle.

[@mjremy2605]

Very nice. Spend less time 'selling' us on each tool and just state what its for. You try to justify why you have each tool, and give a long tribute to each tool. No need. Just move it along. Fish and omelette spatula. Next. Rubber Spatula. Next. Rice pan. Next. Way too much talk. Women talk so much. Be more concise please. Enameled metal cups or plates are functionally useless. Heat dissipates fast. Try insulated steel or Corelle ware.

[@TheJaimepmac]

That serrated knife is A H - M A Z I N G!! Could you share any info on what it is?
