- How many ways are there to cook a chook? Well, we can show you quite a few! After preparing for this video we realized just how much cooking gear we have! Come and join us as we guide you through the maze of cooking gear we use and some we have thought about using. Looking at the pros and cons of each. We look at some cooking methods, Paul cooks up a beautiful Cambodian Chicken Curry. Our gear includes a Webber Baby Q, Slimline induction hotplate, Shuttle Chef and a Magimix.
FREE GIFT: The folks at Thermal Cookware have kindly offered our viewers a free gift with the purchase of the Shuttle Chef. The gift is a Loaf Tin valued at $40.00. So if you are keen to get a hold of one ring Lindi on 1 300 667 151 she will both take your order and arrange for the addition of the gift to be added to the package.

We bought our Thermal Cooker through www.thermalcoo... (no affiliation) There are other places that sell it too
Cambodian Chicken: Mix 1.5 tbsp red curry paste, 1/2 tsp Tumeric, 1/3 can coconut milk. Add 4-6 chicken thighs (skin off), and mix in sauce. Add 1 tsp lemongrass paste, 1/2 tsp Cardamon pwdr, 2 tsp chicken stock pwdr and a squeeze of lime juice. Slow cook for 4-5 hrs? It's nice with shredded coconut stirred through at the end
Other recipes in this video: Thai Red Curry, Bim Bim Bap, Cauliflower Soup

This is another fantastic video. Who knew! I will be getting my Moho shortly. I had thought to take along a 3L pressure cooker (probably the instapot duo) and do my main cooking in that when I was on a powered site. Then I would cook a large batch of food (3-4 recipes in a day), and cryo-seal the food packets and then freeze. My MH has a oven/grill, cooktop (1x electric, 2x gas). So I would do all my other cooking on those items. Then I saw the thermal cooking and thought I would get a thermal cooker instead of the pressure cooker, and cook in van off-grid. Freezing leftovers (as above) and carrying on. BUT I had no idea about odours! wow ... now that has changed my mind totally and I will be rethinking everything, except for the thermal cooker. I can't thank you enough
Thank you 😊 that’s great we are so glad this was helpful. Please reach out if you have any other questions we can help with
Cheers Paul and Wenda
A BIG thank you to you both, for putting yourselves out there with much useful info. Always enjoy your vids.
Thank you it’s great to hear that
Cheers Paul and Wenda
air fryer is a good addition to use when you have power - replaces oven
Yeah a few folks have said that 👍
Great run down on your cooking gear, really impressed with the thermal cooker. I'm not really impressed with our van gas oven either, and tend not to use it.
Thanks, yeah we like the cook top but would scrap the oven. Thermal cooker is really good 👍
Cheers
Excellent love this ❤. I have a thermo cooker too and use it a lot definitely going to try that curry disk looks delish ❤
Thanks 😊it is one of our favourites. Cheers
My wife says her air fryer is her favorite bit of cooking kit but only used when on a powered site as they are quite power hungry. Thanks for the idea of lowering the Baby Q as well, as I currently have to remove our lid for travel storage. Safe travels guys.
Thanks. Yeah it seems people love the air fryer. It definitely on our radar now 😉
Cheers
Thanks for showing what you use. Instead of a travel buddy we carry a 12v Portable Food Warmer in the vehicle to warm up snacks for lunch. Just put food in close lid & 1/2 hr or so later nice & hot when we stop. These cost around $50/$60 from Anaconda, Supercheap, BCF, Repco etc. Works from cigarette lighter outlet.
Thanks 😊 Do you find the food warmer heats up the car?
Cheers
@@beyondthegreyoz Yep...we stop take food out of fridge & put in warmer ready for when we stop. Used for pies, pasties, sausage rolls, bacon & eggs & anything else you can think of to put in foil containers with lids.
We use a microwave, an air fryer, an induction plate & our Nespresso mini if we are hooked up to power, otherwise it’s a propane camp stove & our camp ovens with our fire pit when we are off grid. So interested in your thermal cooker tho. It would be fantastic for travel days. Thanks for sharing your experiences
Sounds like you’ve got almost as much gear as us 😆 yeah we love the thermal cooker
Cheers
Cambodian Chicken have to try this thank you.
Yes definitely a keeper 😋
Thanks for showing us you cooking ideas. We also have an Air Fryer which we use a lot specially for chips and roast veggies as well as small roast lamb and chicken. It’s just a small one that lives under the bed good for use inside and out
Thanks Pam, we’ve been looking at an air fryer. We hear so many positive things about them but need to get rid of a couple of things first 😉
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Hi Paul and Wenda ,You two are amazing 😊
Haha thank you 😘
I'm still really jealous, but have just been to Bali for 12 days and then on the Ghan from Darwin to Adelaide 3 weeks off work...Yay.
@@sandrarenga4209 Sounds like a pretty cool adventure! Would love to hear about the Ghan
A great video. Your such a lovely, modest and informative couple.
Cheers Grant
Thank you Grant we appreciate your kind words
Cheers Paul and Wenda
As an extra note, I checked your video description to get the links you mentioned. In particular the one for Thermal Cookware. It appears that the site's address is up for sale, and the site no longer exists. I had been checking these out (not that brand) and have decided to use the Billy Boil.
Thank for letting us know. We did hear that they were in Lismore and during the floods they got hit hard. We’d love to hear how you go with the Billy Boil 👍
Great video
Thank you ☺
Hi Guys
Nice episode. We have a VW Crafter Kampervan so space will always be a premium for us. We haven't had it long and have only been away 4 times and so far we are ok with the inside gas cook top, propane stove for outside and an induction hotplate. We have also used some camp kitchens.
Keep up the good work.
Remember a wise man once said:- Man can not live on Parmies alone!
Cheers
😂 a wise man! But I reckon some camp kitchen are brilliant. Thanks 👍
Cheers
Oh, really like the look of the dish at 12:00. Also impressed with the 12V induction hob.
That was a Korean recipe. Bim Bim Bap. It’s one of our favourites 🤤
Cheers
Thank you for a very practical view on how not to overload your van with cooking gear you would not use. I very much liked the thermal cooker & the mini bbq, & gas outside cooker. Travel safe & stay happy. Elaine from Brisbane.
Thanks Elaine always appreciate your comments
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Thanks for the awesome video!
You showed so many cooking options. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing.
Safe travels, enjoy 😊
Thanks Lyn even we were surprised when we pulled them all out 😂
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing and for adding the recipe that i "hope" to try.
Thank you, hope you enjoy it 😉
Good night, you shared outstanding uploading. adios!Beyond, :)
Thank you 😊
And here's me thinking that I was the only who cut the baby weber down to the right size 😁We love our weber and the camp oven comes next, there is no third place because of the lack of runners. Happy trails.
Haha yeah we did it too! Do you use the camp oven much? We only used it twice in 12 months
Cheers
@Beyond The Grey OZ Our camp oven gets quite a few outings, it's major use is cooking up 2months supply of dog food. Other dishes from the camp oven have been roasts, Dorito lasagna and a few others, but I do remember that the dog food was better tasting than the Brazilian chicken and mushroom stew. 😋
@@bazz1376 😂 priceless
Cheers
ten out of ten for this video guys soooo hungry now 😄
😂 Chicken curry?
@@beyondthegreyoz barbi chicken 😀
Another great and informative clip. I thought that a dutch oven had something to do with blankets.
Thank you Eric, I am familiar with the Dutch Over you refer to however it is not a method that is encouraged in the van
Good video. Have you considered a spun steel camp oven which is much lighter and once you get use to using it just as good as cast iron. When we can use a camp fire we do a lot of cooking simply wrapping stuff up in Aluminium foil and throw in the coals. On my wish list is an Ooni portable gas pizza oven but the price is north of $900.
Spun steel would be good 👍 We saw those pizza ovens and they look good 👍 but I already eat too many Parma’s. When we started I thought we would use more camp fires but haven’t?
Cheers
Hey Paul and Wenda, great video, as usual; I know many people who have the Webber Baby Q and absolutely use it for everything. But I still love my travel buddy, the oven. I can cook almost anything in it, And yes, the dough nuts are fantastic in the travel buddy. Thanks for the video, and see the next one.
Thanks Ed, yeah travel buddy looks good but I already eat too many Parma’s 😂
Thanks for stopping by 😉
Great episode, we use an electric pressure cooker all the time. we use it for baking, soups, stews, rice just about anything. Once it has reached pressure it uses next to no power. also love the induction cooker for its great temp control, instant heat and its ability to not be affected by the wind. Have an air fryer which is also fantastic. just a few more things to consider.
We’ve been looking at an Air fryer to replace a couple of things but hadn’t thought about the pressure cooker
Cheers
We take & use an air fryer a fair bit. It's a replacement for a small oven, & a bit faster
@@rodhobart9926 we’ve been thinking about an air fryer and I think we could get rid of a couple of bit of gear if we got one 👍
nice video, thankyou for sharing. I think we are all guilty of taking too much. Where do you get the round photos printed?
Thanks 😊 we do the photos online at www.wondermade.com.au
Cheers
@@beyondthegreyoz thankyou
Great video and something we all need to do while travelling - cooking.
Just an fyi- did you know the Webber is non compliant in a van as has no auto cut off valve ? I only learnt that but told there maybe a fix in the future.
Thank you Tony 😊 Yes we had heard that, but believe you can still use them directly connected to a gas bottle. Not sure how that changes the risk of flame out though?
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Great idea to run through all your cooking options. Do the pots come with the thermal cooker and can they be used on your other cooking options? Thanks
Hi Julie the two smaller pots came with it and we bought the taller one. As they are stainless steel they also work on the induction cooker. We use them for all of our cooking and they work great 👍
Cheers Paul and Wenda
Thanks for sharing that information....very helpful! Can i please ask where you got the thermal cooker from? Cheers.
Thanks, We got ours through www.thermalcookware.com.au/main.php?mod=Shop&file=Cats but there are a number of places that sell it
Cheers Paul and Wenda
I like the thermal cooker but found errors on the page. Please could you send info on where to buy? TIA
Hi Jenny, we bought ours from www.thermalcookware.com.au/ 3 years ago and love it. There are other places that sell it too.
Cheers Paul and Wenda
I found one. Thank you so much. Love your handy hints. Safe travels 😊
Audio and video are out of sync
That’s odd? We watched it a few times and didn’t have that issue? Be curious to see if others had that experience.
@@beyondthegreyoz will watch it again and see if it happens again started of ok
@@Mick_4591 awesome thanks!
Seems to be ok now .
Dont know what the problem was yesterday
@@Mick_4591 thanks for letting us know, Cheers 👍
Great video
Thank you 😊
