- Plan a thoughtful, tasty
and nutritious menu. Great meals equal a
great campout! When it's cold and rainy, you'll get tired of pop-tarts
and boiled hot dogs pretty quick. Use the Patrol
Meal Plan form on the Troop website.
- Work together -- Patrol cooking is exactly that, not
everyone
standing around watching the cook doing all the work. Divide up tasks
such as preparing and mixing ingredients, and cooking side dishes vs.
the main course vs. dessert. Those who aren't cooking should take care
of the cleanup. But keep in mind, your Grubmaster is the one in charge.
- Clean up as you go, don't leave a huge mess around your
stove
and chuckbox that is going to take you an hour to clean up. For foods
such as pasta sauce that leave a lot of residue in pots and bowls, use
bread or tortillas to wipe it up and eat it.
- Cook the right amounts for your Patrol, and eat
everything you
make! Easier than cleaning up and packing out messy and
wasteful leftovers. A Scout is Thrifty...
- Use pot lids or foil to help your food/water heat up faster,
but don't leave your burner on full blast -- it wastes gas and burns
your food.
