MUST HAVE KITCHEN ITEMS FOR YOUR CAMPER

Furnishing your camper is like furnishing another home! We pretty much had to buy almost everything we use in our current kitchen, except for supplies for the oven. We wanted good quality items, but didn’t want to pay an arm and a leg for everything. We ended up buying most of our stuff on Amazon since you can read reviews on each item and usually Amazon has the best prices. The items below are things we got and are working great thus far.

1. Single Serve K Cup Coffee Maker Brewer for K-Cup Pod & Ground Coffee, Compact Design Thermal Drip Instant Coffee Machine with Self Cleaning Function, Brew Strength Control by Sboly
(This is a single serve coffee maker that uses K-Cups which works great in a camper that doesn’t have a ton of counter space. We actually first got a French press, but the problem is throwing away your coffee grounds. We didn’t want to throw them down the sink and we didn’t want to just toss them outside. We ended up putting as much of the grounds in the trash, then using the outside shower to rinse out the rest of the grounds. It was a huge hassle and we wish we just got this small coffee maker in the first place.)

​2. Instant Pot DUO Plus 3 Qt 9-in-1 Multi- Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Yogurt Maker, Egg Cooker, Sauté, Steamer, Warmer, and Sterilizer
(We love our Instant Pot!! It makes cooking meal so much faster, especially slow cooker meals like pulled pork extremely fast. You can also make hard boil eggs in 5 minutes, and our recent fave are steel cut oats in 4 minutes! We like the smaller 3 qt for our trailer as it’s smaller, and soon want to get a 6 qt for home. This is a total must have for the camper!)

​3. Country Kitchen 10" Whisk and Tong Kitchenware Set for Nonstick Cookware, Silicone and Stainless Steel Accessories for Cooking, Baking, Frying, Grilling, Blending and Serving- Gun Metal and Mint Green
(Silicone utensils are great for cooking as they don’t melt and won’t scratch up your pots and pans.)

​4. OXO Good Grips 8 Piece Clip Set - Assorted Bright
(Who loves those darn wire or plastic bread ties? Or stale chips? These clips work great and we love the bread bag clips. They are so much easier to use the wires or the plastic ties that come with bread. The chip clips are also magnetic.)

​5. Umbra UDRY Drying Rack and Microfiber Dish Mat-Space-Saving Lightweight Design Folds Up for Easy Storage, 24 x 18 inches, Charcoal, 24 x 18,
(It’s nice doing dishes and letting them dry on this drying mat, and it allows you to stack your dishes upright so that you can dry more dishes at once. It folds up easily and is space saving.)

​6. Pratipad Plus 4-in-1 Multipurpose Silicone Pot Holders, Trivets, Jar Openers, Spoon Rests - Extra Thick Protection - Set of 2 Navy Blue
(These silicone pot holders will save your counters and dinette table. They also work great for getting hot dishes out of the microwave.)

​7. T-fal C76220 Specialty Stainless Steel Dishwasher Safe Whistling Coffee and Tea Kettle, 3-Quart, Silver
(We didn’t want to drink rust, so we got this high quality tea kettle for the gas stove. We thought about getting an electric kettle, but we didn’t want to use too much electricity as propane tends to last longer when you don’t have hook ups.)
​
​8. Cooler Kitchen Extra Thick Flexible Plastic Cutting Board Mats with Food Icons & EZ-Grip Waffle Back, (Set of 4)
​(These super thin and flexible cutting mats work great. They tuck away easily and save a lot of space. Also, it’s nice that they are flexible as you can fold the mat to transfer the food into a bowl or pot without making a mess.)

​9. Progressive Prepworks Thinstore Collapsible Prep/Storage Bowls with Lids - Set of 3
(These bowls worked awesome as they come with lids and are great for storing leftovers. They collapse and save a lot of space in your storage cabinets.)
