What do you typically cook when you go camping? Some burgers or sausages? or maybe some ribs or a steak if you are adventurous. What if we told you that you could almost any dish that you make at home right there on your campsite? Why settle for making do with basic foods when you can make elaborate dishes such as
- Whole Roast Chicken
- Curry
- Stews
- Smoked Ribs
- Grilled Vegetables
- Pizza
- Even a Shepherds Pie!
You’re probably thinking, that sounds great, but it’s an awful lot of camping cookware gear to bring camping to be able to cook such versatile dishes right there at your tent. Not anymore.
Meet The Cobb
Here at The Portable Grill we are huge fans of the range of products offered by Cobb. The Cobb Premier Portable Grill is not just any old charcoal grill, it’s a complete compact cooking system that runs on a few charcoal briquettes, it is a complete kitchen in a box. Thanks to it’s very well thought out unique design, the Cobb Grill makes cooking almost any dish you can think of a breeze. The Cobb is the only camping cookware that you will need this season.
The Cobb is made out of a base unit housing a charcoal basket and a moat for catching juices, ontop of that sits a range of accessories from a griddle plate for grilling, to a roasting rack to turn the Cobb instantly from a grill to an oven!
It’s superior airflow design allows the Cobb to cook for long periods of time with very little charcoal consumption, we have tested the Cobb to cook an entire roast chicken with only nine charcoal briquettes. The basket and moat are also suspended in the outer casing using rubber contacts which makes the outside of the base cold to the touch when you are using it. This makes the Cobb a perfect grill for use on a boat or other areas with sensitive surfaces.
The Premier version of the Cobb available here comes with a wide range of accessories to get you started, including;
- Roasting rack
- Griddle pan
- Non stick frying pan
- Wok
- Dome extension for larger cooks
If that is not enough, Cobb also sell a huge range of extra accessories, including pizza stones, frying pans and hot plates to allow you to cook literally anything. Best of all the Cobb is designed so that all of the accessories fit neatly inside and take up very little space. What’s more is that this entire camping cookware system only weighs around 20lb!
So if you are looking to make adventurous tasty food this camping season without having to fit your entire kitchen in your car then the Cobb is a must have accessory this season. Check out the link below to find further reviews and prices on Amazon.
Campsite Cooking
When camping people normally cook using two different cooking styles. Stove top cooking and grilling.
Stove top cooking using gas burning stove such as this Coleman Gas Camping Stove allows you to prepare tasty meals such as pasta and rice dishes and whip up some eggs or an omelette for breakfast. Many people use these camping stoves and while they perform fine in some settings, they are not that versatile. You need to bring extra gas, pots and pans to use on the stove and you are limited to just cooking stove top meals.
The other popular form of campsite cooking is grilling. There are many BBQ grills on the market that are suitable for campsite grilling. You can use a portable gas grill such as the best selling Char-Broil Grill2Go Portable Grill or cook over charcoal using a portable grill such as the Cuisinart Portable Charcoal Grill featured here. These grills are excellent for smoking, grilling and searing meats.
One of the biggest issues a lot of campers face is selecting the right amount of camping gear to bring. Limited by weight and space, being able to grill meats and prepare tasty stove top meals usually involved bringing a lot of extra gear and accessories.
This is where we think the Cobb Premier excels. It gives you all this and more in one super portable kitchen in a box. It’s unique design gives you the ultimate flexibility to grill, fry, bake, broil and smoke all in one unit that takes up a fraction of the space.
No matter whether you are camping in an RV or a tent, the Cobb Premier is the perfect camping cookware product to suit all of your cooking needs. Check out the latest customer reviews on Amazon.
