Best Cooking Appliances For Camping

Ahh, the great outdoors. Cue the sound of kids playing, having fun and, oh no, getting hungry! Quick! Find wood, dig a hole, build a fire! Or you could relax and just plug in some of your portable home appliances to make this way easier.

Benchtop Ovens

Cook a camp dinner like a five-star chef with a benchtop oven. Smaller than a built-in oven, these portable versions are lightweight (some weigh less than 3kg) and can be as small as 40cm wide, making packing easy.

Multicookers

A handy appliance that can do it all - the multicooker is your all-around kitchen companion, allowing you to pressure cook, fry, steam, and more, making it a breeze for you to prepare a wide variety of dishes all in one cooking equipment.

Food Choppers

The beauty of a food chopper lies in its versatility. Food prep will be super easy but don't limit its use to just chopping onions or garlic. Explore great tasting flavours while you're exploring the great outdoors - you can use a food chopper to make salsa, purees, even grinding spices.

Electric Frypans

Plug in an electric frypan and cook, poach or fry with even heat (and no need for dry kindling.) Choose deep-dish models to cook for large groups. Go non-stick for a waterless wipe-down or fast clean-up in a washing tub.

Portable BBQs

A portable BBQ delivers all the fun of a fire with guaranteed heat, even grilling and the smokey BBQ flavour of outdoor cooking. Check how it folds up for convenient transport. Add barbecue accessories like pizza stones or casserole dishes for camping food ideas that aren’t focused on sausages.

Best Home Entertainment Tech For Camping

Looking for cool camping set-up ideas to add fun for the whole family? Make musical and movie memories with these portable entertainment devices that can withstand the rough and tumble of camping.

Portable Speakers

Look for water-resistant and dustproof audio that can stand up to the elements. Long battery life is a must. Create a playlist for each adventure to bring back the memories.

Walkie Talkies

Let the kids run free with Walkie Talkies while you kick back at the tent with a paperback or, better still, your e-reader. Buy multipack handsets to lend to the new campsite friends they make.

Mini Projectors

Settle in for the night with a portable projector to play and stream family movies by firelight. Top camping picks include Space Jam, Spider-Man and Scooby Doo! Camp Scare. Screen mirror your phone to the projector for holiday photo streaming.

Best Appliances For Camping Comfort

Want that five-star feel under the stars? Whether in a caravan or under canvas, here’s how to get your glamping on.

Electric Blankets

No need to freeze! Electric throws and blankets make for cosy nights. Look for safety switches and machine-washable options so you can wash off the dirt from camp feet.

Portable Air Conditioners

Plug in a portable air conditioner to keep the nights cool and comfortable. Or opt for a water cooler to create a breeze under the awning.

Handheld Vacuums

Make quick work of sand and grass in sleeping bags with a charged-up handheld vacuum. It’s a killer short cut for clean-ups or the tent tidy, too.

Best Home Appliances For A Touch Of Camping Luxe
