Cooking

When I was designing the Vehicle, one of the things I was most worried about was cooking.  I can't use propane, and I was worried that my solar array wouldn't allow me to use electricity to cook, and that firing up my wood stove each time I wanted to heat something up would be too labor intensive.  Well, it turns out I have an abundance of options.  

First of all, my solar system can easily cope with crock pots, an electric kettle and even the toaster oven.  Secondly, my wood stove is very easy to use. I do my pan frying on it, and onions brown deliciously on the slower, more variable heat. It also has an oven attachment. Third, I have a Sun Oven which can function as oven, slow cooker, steamer and dehydrator, and I have a small cooking cube for outdoor fire cooking.  Last night's dinner was a wood stove stir fry.  This morning I made instant quinoa flakes with the kettle, and lunch was heated in the Sun Oven.  

Cooking takes more planning head than in the instant gratification world of a conventional kitchen, but that's a positive. I am more intentional and find I am eating better as a result.  I'll write more about my love affair with my Kimberly stove next time.
