Default What unique Kitchen/Cooking utensil is always in your TM

Not knowing where to start this but thought this cooking section would be a good place...

The one item I make sure is in the camping box is an old Hidden Valley Ranch dressing shaker.
There are many similar types out there for mixing powdered health drinks and such.
I use mine for every mixing task. You can scramble eggs with just a few shakes. Mix your favorite pancake batter, marinade, etc. Is great for instant pudding, mix and pour into cups. Just about anything you could do in a blender that does not require chopping up the ingredients. It seals shut so you can store what you don't use for later. Is easy to clean with a few shakes of soapy water and a rinse.

We have a special ice cube maker that has a screw-on lid so you can make ice cubes on the go and the water won't spill out. We got it at Camping World (saw one today while we were there but can't seem to find one online).

I love our Aeropress coffee maker. It makes great coffee and cleanup is a snap. http://aerobie.com/Products/aeropress_story.htm

Instead of a colander, we have one of these:

I also have two six-section spice dispensers that take up very little room. They were originally filled with cake sprinkles but I took off the lids and use them for spices. They are like this:

It's been fun stocking the TM with fun things to use that don't take up too much room.

Colanders
Found this to be very useful at home so got one for the trailer. Stores pretty flat and the handles adjust in length to straddle the sink. when there is a small amount of dishes to wash I use it as a drain board as well.

We make sure we take our Soda Maker Machine not for cooking but it is used in kitchen.

Default Swing Away

Swing Away manual can opener.
Amazing how tough a can of Dinty Moore is without an opener. The little device on my Swiss Army knife came through, but I prefer the Swing Away.
Lesson learned.

Wayne - if you got one of these blenders, you wouldn't need the generator at all.

The reason I like the Margaritaville machine is because I just fill the top with ice, then for each pitcher full pour the liquid ingredients into the blender/pitcher and push the button.

It will start by shaving the ice. Then it starts to run the blender while continuing to shave more ice. When it stops, just pour.

I don't have to measure the ice. I only measure the liquid ingredients.

I got it as a Christmas gift. It works really well.

Dave - Because the Cobb uses so little charcoal, I think you'd be adding briquettes so many times that it would be a hassle. Doable but a pain. I have found a way to get some smoke flavor in a hurry. I keep one of those little olive cans in the TM and when firing up the Cobb I fill the can with hickory (or whatever) chips and then top off the can with water. When the coals are ready I pour off the water and set the can directly on the coals. We did this last Saturday with a butterflied chicken and it worked great. - camp2canoe
