Keeping food hot
Once you have reheated or cooked your food, you'll
want it to stay hot until you serve it—particularly if
you have to cook several items on just one or two
camp stove burners. But with a few simple tips, you
can ensure everyone enjoys a hot meal.
Insulate with cloths and newspaper To keep pans of
food hot for a good 20 minutes, place the covered
pan on newspaper and throw a towel over to insulate.
Add some sauce Once served, boiled vegetables can
go cold very quickly, so try serving them in a hot
sauce—it will add flavor too.
Make a “hot” box A cooler can be used as to keep
food warm, just as a vacuum flask can keep milk
cold or hot. Fill a cooler with warm air from the
fire, put the pan inside, and shut the lid.
Use a flask If you need to keep a sauce hot
while you cook other ingredients, pour it into
a flask and seal.
Round 'em up Get everyone rounded up, and
ready to eat before serving, to avoid anyone
getting a cold meal.
Flasks are friends to hot
drinks, soups, and sauces. Seal
them tightly for best results.
