For those of you who are still looking to purchase a Blackstone grill. Walmart is starting their Black Friday sales on Nov 3rd. There is a Blackstone grill with a carrying case for $122. When we looked over the summer there was an electric Blackstone also. Just a smaller size.

[@vanananag7736]

Hi, my husband and I camp for 4-7 days at a time, not full timers, so our cooking style is slightly different. In our sticks and bricks home, the week before our trip, I will prepare a veggie lasagna, turkey or beef meatballs , a meatloaf or stuffed red bell peppers and then portion them into containers and freeze for camp meals. A few times, I baked chicken and froze it in portions. I place all frozen items in the RV freezer with a few packages of frozen vegetables. I may place 2 frozen meal portions in the RV fridge on travel day. The frozen food will keep items in the fridge cold during travel when the fridge power is off. At camp, I can microwave the precooked meals for an easy dinner. I have also precooked pasta and rice and placed cooked portions in bags which I froze and then packed in the RV freezer. The pasta or rice could be added to a camp meal with a meat and vegetable selection. Pre cooking speeds up meal prep at campsite, which is helpful if you have hungry children or companions to feed. Also, one less pan to wash. Fresh salad greens, tomatoes, carrots are also in our fridge. Breakfast may be Greek yogurt, fresh or thawed, frozen blueberries and muesli cereal. My husband will cook one breakfast in the great outdoors, weather permitting. This consists of bacon, onions, home fries and scrambled eggs. He has cooked on a BLACKSTONE grill on several trips, but he also cooked the same meal on a propane and on a butane stove using a 12” light weight cast iron frypan. To save space and time, I crack the eggs and portion them out in clean , peanut butter glass jars for 2 meals then refrigerate. At camp, I add spices to the eggs and shake to scramble the eggs before cooking. I have a one pan “Camp Goulash” which I made several times and it makes several servings. Sauté 1 pound of ground turkey in 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil, remove from pan and set aside. In same pan, sauté 1/2 -1 onion, until translucent. Add turkey to pan with the onion. Next add 1 can pitted, drained black olives (chopped or whole), 1 cup chopped marinated artichoke hearts and juice , 1 can stewed tomatoes, 1 can tomato paste. Add garlic powder, oregano, parsley to your taste. Simmer for about 20-30 minutes. You may serve this plain or on a bed of veggie noodles, pasta or rice. This dish tastes even better the next day. Happy camping!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for all the info!

[@davelauraphillips8814]

Tried turkey "bacon" a couple times. Just can't do it - would rather have 1 slice of real bacon instead of 3 of the other stuff.

[@teresasimons2628]

I also have an induction cooktop in my travel trailer. I love it when I am hooked up to electricity. I have cast iron cookware as it woks in the oven, induction cook top, stove top and on the outside grill over an open fire.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Great ideas, thanks for watching

[@keturahhyde2527]

You definitely should cook your pasta in the instant pot! 4 minutes and it’s done! You can even cook it with your meat and sauce all in there (if you don’t mind them being mixed, I don’t). It makes it so you can only dirty one dish! Also if you haven’t thawed your hamburger, you can cook it in the instant pot by itself for 25 minutes, release the pressure, chop up burger, add noodles and sauce, cook 4 more minutes and tada!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks, great tip!

[@grrriallen7192]

That is nuts. I would never get rid of my Blackstone. I just stock up on propane - everything size from the little tiny ones to the full size for the grill and 2 of the larger ones for the 4th wheel. Just space it out to spread out the cost.

[@brianvandy4002]

We thought about collapsable bowls, but an average collapsable bowl you might eat cereal out of, they collapse to take up only .5 inches in thickness. So if you stack four of them it's two inches thick. You're saving maybe a whole inch over regular bowls that won't wear out eventually by being collapsed several times a day. Some things are okay collapsable, like a collander, but I'm not convinced the space you save on every day use items is really notable.

[@annej5699]

I'm closing on buying a used travel trailer this weekend, and once I do I plan on getting some Corelle or similar dishes for the trailer. They are thin, lightweight, stackable so they don't take up much space, and microwave safe. They will also stay rigid when filled with hot soup. If dishes are cleaned right away it's easy to wash them without using much soap and water. Pasta water can also be used to wash dishes. The starch in the water helps loosen foods.

[@brianvandy4002]

@@annej5699 I'm with you. Corelle is great. I'd look into the padded shelf liner available. I cut little squares of this and put it between my plates and bowls. It pads them during transport and if you are in a motorhome it stops the rattling.

[@vanananag7736]

Hi, I also use Corelle dinner plates and cereal/soup bowls because they are light weight, durable and can be used in the microwave. I have 2 Corelle pie plates which can be used as warming vessels for leftovers or as dinner plates or for baking in the convection oven. I did purchase 3 small collapsible silicone bowls/covers for serving fruit or snacks when outdoors. When boon docking, I will use paper for some meals to save on water for cleaning. I am trying to decrease the amount of supplies that we bring in the RV, have decided to use stainless steel forks, spoons and knives and forget the plastic. Stainless is durable, plastic creates more waste and the stainless cutlery needs minimal water to clean.

[@WilsonsWildRide]

Thank you , will be looking into this great way to cook indoors. Last summer in Texas was miserable.

[@sharih5741]

We took out our propane range and oven too. We actually replaced it with an additional cabinet for storage With a butcher block countertop + another pull out butcher block board. Loved the induction cooking.

[@GratefulGlamper]

[@fredlapp5625]

I've been using an induction cook top in my 18 wheeler for years. But never thought about using it in my AS, what a great idea!

[@russgould7296]

So this needs to be on a dedicated 15 amp circuit, which is challenging in most RV’s. And I need more than 2 pots because I cook mostly outside and I do not have a home base. Currently in FL so cooking outside is a good option.

[@michelebrown1341]

I make hard boiled eggs in the instapot a lot. We have a couple of them for breakfast with fresh fruit and toast. I take the rest of the eggs and make egg salad for sandwiches. We also like avocado toast for breakfast, BLT’s, baked potatoes as a meal, chef salads, spaghetti with meatballs, chili dogs, tacos and stir fried rice with veggies and chicken. I love doing meal planning!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!

[@jesserevilla992]

We didn't have LP shortages here in South Florida, but regardless we made the switch to a Blackstone Electric Grill which works fantastic and is much lighter by 28lbs. And when boondocking two nights which is the most we do; we then bring along our small light Coleman camping cooker. But here at our home, we have an awesome Blackstone griddle.

[@turnbullstravels735]

We only have a 1,000 watt inverter…..so I use an induction cooktop when we are plugged in. I do try to cook ahead whennon hook-ups, so then I have meals in the freezer. Otherwise, for dry camping, we cook outside on a grill or coleman stove, both propane.

[@Herk988]

We’ve been doing remodeling and have been thinking about an induction stove. Space in the kitchen is limited and this would free up more counter space. Additionally, we use our convection oven rather than the RV propane oven since the convection bakes more evenly and we are only using the RV oven for storage. Thanks for sharing how to use the induction. Good tips!

[@GratefulGlamper]

[@teresasprouse2986]

We Went all electric in our Motorhome a year ago and love the induction cooktop.

[@Lady-Seawulf]

Thank you for sharing this information! Your pro's and con's of propane are spot on (some I didn't realize 'til you mentioned them). I did find a tip to determine if you cookware is compatible to the Fogatti cook top: place a magnet on the bottom of you pan and if it sticks then it's compatible, if not then it's not ( this will rule out glassware, ceramic, aluminum, copper etc).

[@jamesglenn520]

So can you use cast-iron on that cook top?

Just traveled from Las Vegas to Alaska, you need to put EVERYTHING into plastic containers or travel with paper everything. Transfer to plastic everything glass to a sealable container. Can’t do turkey bacon.

My daughter makes chicken spaghetti in her Instant Pot, noodles and all. It is really good.

[@artemishunter8993]

Looks like you nearly doing a ketogenic diet which is very economical and don't need to eat so often. I might suggest using pork bacon to save the lard dripping for cooking. Vegetable seed oils are not good to consume if that is what were using. Butter is good to cook with too.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Using olive oil - thanks for the suggestions 💙

[@jaytomson7052]

So glad you kept / acquired a home base. Good to go, good to stay.

[@lindadurst2290]

Been using induction since 2011. Don’t need a dedicated plug. It is on the same outlet as our coffee maker. We also use our convection/microwave for all baking. Induction sits on top of the stove cover and oven is for baking pan storage. We also got rid of our gas grill and now use a small Traeger which is electric. When off grid we do have to manage our electricity but it hasn’t been an issue with solar and our onboard generator.

[@ancientone3040]

Exactly, induction appliance and pant is what I have planned. It is amazing. great minds do think alike.

[@GratefulGlamper]

[@achevres]

I love my induction cooktop! I set it up outside the RV. I never use the gas burners. Also love my microwave/convection oven. I also have induction at home. It's so fast and clean up is so easy!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Awesome! Thanks for watching

[@annej5699]

If you want an oven to bake cookies or muffins or such and don't have a convection microwave another option is an Omnia stovetop oven. Combine this with an electric burner and you have propane-free baking.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for the tip!

[@gail1869]

I use an induction cooktop also. I also have a crockpot, IP, and an air fryer in my Discovery.

[@openskies4245]

I'm a bit of a foodie, so I am building a list of recipes (possible cookbook?) that have the 'sense of cooking' I enjoy but are possible using three propane burners (used for the first time two weekends ago,) an Instant Pot, a toaster oven, and my hubby's grill/camp stove set up - of which, he is chef and I am sous... And, yes, we did do Thanksgiving for 4 last year. But I did a breast and a lot of prep before going. I menu plan but have staples so we can always make stuffing if someone gets a craving... We are not vegan but moving that way and avoid processed food most of the time so we can binge out every now and then.

[@bluefamily3937]

Hi, I made a fish pasta dish Garlic and onions (amounts to taste) brown them. Add roasted red pepper and pepper jelly and Rotel tomatoes. Then add tilapia chopped up. Season with an envelope of taco seasoning. Cook on low til fish is cooked through. Cook pasta. Serve and eat with a salad. Enjoy! P.S. I don't measure anything except with my eyeballs and I only used 2 saucepans.

Years ago for tent camping and 3 day canoeing trips, I bought 3 coleman stainless steel nesting cooking sets that were different size ranges with their own nylon bags to keep them together. The nice thing was I could stack all 3 sets into one set to save space. Later after I bought a travel trailer, I also came across deals for a set of nesting stainless steel lasagna pans and a Quisinart stainless steel pots and pans set that nest inside each other with a canvas bag. 2 of the pots have lids that double as frying pans with detachable handles. I also have nesting bowl sets including mixing bowls of varying sizes to save space.

[@dalewatkins9889]

No one has actually mentioned the power needs of these devices (induction cooking/convection microwave oven, etc.? With set time limits of 'generator' usage in most campsites, one might have to rely on their batteries. We've found morning generator use doesn't start until 9:00 Am, which is FAR too late to be making breakfast, as we tend to get up early and are well on our way to our daily activities by then, so again, what energy use are you using? We've heard little to nothing here in Canada on propane shortage, thus continue to rely on using those devices, especially with our coach having two propane furnaces, we will be relying on propane for some time to come I believe. Propane is a component of natural gas, of which North America has more than we can use now, so I'm not seeing where it might be hard to find? Nonetheless, I'm a subscriber and enjoy your video's very much, and look forward to your future locations upcoming!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Here are some links for info on the predicted propane shortage: www.spglobal.com/platts/en/market-insights/latest-news/oil/101121-feature-with-us-stock-levels-low-propane-market-prepares-for-winter-shortage nationalinterest.org/blog/politics/next-crisis-gas-shortage-propane-gas-shortage-coming-soon-186255 www.foxbusiness.com/markets/heating-costs-may-triple-as-propane-shortage-looms We usually stay at campgrounds with full hook ups so for us electric isn’t so much of an issue.

I'll never get rid of my Blackstone. Green Mountain Grills also makes an awesome tailgater size pellet grill called the Davey Crocket. All you need are pellets and electricity. It's an awesome little pellet grill!! We also have a New Wave induction cook top we use in the summer, and sometimes year round. They're both an awesome alternative to propane.

[@GratefulGlamper]

[@arbonneladyTN]

“Why did I question that?” 😂

[@robertosgood961]

Just make sure you have very flat bottoms to your cookware. An induction only heats where it makes contact with pan. Also, the pan must be magnetic such as cast iron, all clad, stainless steel... no aluminum.

[@Cecil_X]

I love my nuwave infrared oven and induction cook top (mine is single burner). I cook at least 90% of my meat, be it beef, chicken, fish, shrimp, etc., in the infrared oven. Both are highly efficient. One cup of cold water from the faucet will boil in less than 90 second on the induction cook top. However, I will not give up my iron frying pan.

[@garnettarawlings6990]

Use your cast iron on induction cooker.

We use the ninja Foodi. It does 9 (Air fry, pressure cooker, bakes, roast, saute etc) different functions. We sold our instant pot at yard sale. We also try to use electric heater on chilly nights.

[@brianvandy4002]

I'm planning updates to my RV to remove the stove/oven in favor of induction burners, convection microwave, and Instant Pot. In addition getting rid of the double sink and putting in just a single bowl sink. This would result in more drawers in the kitchen and more counter space for food prep. I'm also thinking of going with a mini split AC/heat pump, residential fridge, and maybe an electric on demand water heater. That would eliminate propane from my worries.

So...... if you are boondocking with no electricity, given that you are trashing the propane stove, how do you cook?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Use generator if need be. We don’t boondock often.

[@seejanetraveltv]

I disagree with you with the paper products. Items don't need to decompose for an extended period of time just because we wanted a meal and compound it per meal per person just because one can't be inconvenienced to get water & dump tanks more often. As a fellow full timer, I figured out how to use minimal water while still washing my Corelle dishware. If I have a lot of dishes to do, I will add an inch of water with soap to get started and then when I rinse (with an attachment on my sink faucet to slow the flow of water) in the same side of the sink. The other option I do if I'm doing a few things is wet the dish with a spray bottle, wash it with a dab of soap on my cloth and then rinse again by spraying it down with the spray bottle. I am always thinking of how I can reduce my garbage in the RV as for me that's WAY more of an inconvenience to me on my travels to find a garbage can to dispose of things than it is to find a dump station with potable water. It's not environmentally friendly to be using one use products for the sake of convenience when one can plan to go past a station on the way to the destination. Just my viewpoint. 😊

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for sharing

[@arbonneladyTN]

Also… We use our Corelle too. And we dump our soapy water outside, not in our tanks then. Very little use of paper products…. Even for napkins as we have cloth that I will rinse out and hang dry.

I have convection oven can't figure it out

[@pamelahill7164]

I hope you video how to take it out because I have been exactly wanting to do the same thing. I like cooking on my hot plate . I don’t like using my propane either

[@GratefulGlamper]

We will definitely be making a video through the process. Thanks for watching

[@phyllismitchell7623]

I have used induction burners before. They use a high amount of electricity and always say use house type currents. Have things changed?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Many RVers are switching to induction tops. Yes they pull quite a bit of electric current but nothing that an RV set up can’t handle

[@phyllismitchell7623]

@@GratefulGlamper what if you have a van or SUV?

[@GratefulGlamper]

@@phyllismitchell7623 You would need to see what your power system is rated for.

[@knowltek]

??? what do you folk do for heating? our heater is propane and we are looking at some electric heaters that will work with our solar set up.

[@GratefulGlamper]

We tend to be in areas where it doesn’t get too cold. We do have propane for heating but also our A/C’s have an electrical heat pump in them

[@jacksanders7029]

Blackstone does have an electric version

On 30 amp hook ups, does it get tricky using one item at a time?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Not as of yet. We do keep an eye on electrical draw when we have a 30 amp hook up.

How are cookies in a convection oven ?

[@GratefulGlamper]

[@kendowning930]

Ok so how much is the cook top your talking about

[@GratefulGlamper]

There are several different options on our blog post here: gratefulglamper.com/rv-cooking-induction-cooktop-upgrade/

We have 7 kids and although we only have 1 left in the house, the wife still shops for a house of 9.. it's been very frustrating getting her to understand that we no longer need to buy 37 of everything 🤷‍♂️😄..im drowning in clutter over here, send help plz

[@GratefulGlamper]

😂

[@luannmiller2421]

Our unit has a convection microwave. I am not familiar with convection cooking. Could anyone recommend a cookbook or other resource that would be helpful?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Our RV actually came with a convection cookbook. Maybe check in your owners manual packet.

[@RickandDarcirvadventures]

Do you have a discount code that we could use to order the induction cooktop?

[@GratefulGlamper]

Unfortunately no discount code :(

[@aaronhendrickson]

Are you doing to change out your furnace for an electric one?

[@GratefulGlamper]

We tend to stay in temperate climates where we don’t need heat. So our furnace doesn’t get used often.

[@denniswynne1969]

So how many colts and amps is that induction cooktop? Thanks

[@GratefulGlamper]

There are 10 power level setting from 200 watt to 1800 watt

[@kitvargas9064]

I cook my meat,then add sauce, 1/2 jar or water, other stuff (mushrooms), and pasta all to Instant Pot, cook 5 minutes, slow release, DONE!!!

[@jimflanagan6029]

If it’s nice outside, why are you guys cooking inside in the first place ? No shortage in the North East .

[@GratefulGlamper]

We don’t mind cooking outside but we move so much that setting up the Blackstone for one or two meals feels like the time it takes to set up isn’t worth it.

[@lararafalco2156]

Put whole avocado in a cup of water and put in fridge!

[@GratefulGlamper]

👍🏻

[@kristiflanigan9807]

Did you remove your oven?

[@kristiflanigan9807]

Never mind. Lol

[@deborahbriant4474]

You can make pasta in an instant pot in 4 minutes! No stove necessary 😁

[@GratefulGlamper]

Awesome!
