We’ve done a lot of videos over the last couple of years that have concentrated on cooking food on the road, but we’ve never taken the time to explain the equipment we use – the mistakes we’ve made – and the best gear we’ve found. In this new series of films we explore Pots & Pans, Cookers, and Simple Kitchen Tools for traveling.

We look at gear for one, for groups and everything from getting water boiled fast, to preparing a full gourmet meal for your traveling group.

Pots & Pans are the most important aspect of travel gadgetry as far as I’m concerned – they’re a real ‘home from home’ gadget, in that when you’ve set up camp and you’re just settling down for the evening the last thing you need is naff gear that isn’t up to the task. If you want a cup of tea in the afternoon you don’t want to spend an hour getting your pots out and ready, at the same time you want to make sure they’re capable of being used in a wide variety of ways. Of course… that’s different for everyone, and whilst Stace and I will never travel anywhere without our kettles / tea pots – others will find this an abhorrent wast of space and additional weight!

So watch the first in the new cooking on the road trilogy below or over on youtube.
