There are few things that beat the feeling of outdoor cooking in the warm summer months, especially when it's over an open fire. Whether you're in the garden, on the beach or in the middle of the forest, there's something special about the smell of smoke and fresh air.
And with the right equipment, you can cook more than just bread over the flames, but everything from breakfast to delicious steaks or burgers for the whole family.
1. Griddle
With a carbon steel griddle, you get an incredibly versatile kitchen tool that you can use on the hob, barbecue or, yes, over an open fire.
The high heat tolerance makes the griddle perfect for the campfire. And with the large cooking surface, you can cook large quantities of food at once!
Afraid of starting an oil fire?
With the high edges of the griddle, it is designed to keep both your food and fat within the cooking surface.
7 reasons why you need a griddle
2. Fire stand
When cooking over a campfire, it is incredibly important that you can control the temperature.
That is why a fire stand is essential, so you can easily mount your griddle over the flames and keep the temperature even.
You can take your fire stand with you anywhere, and it is easy to set up over the fire.
A fire stand is therefore an essential addition to your griddle if you want to cook over a campfire.
3. Smasher
Smash burgers, sandwiches with a crispy crust or bacon?
No matter what you want to give a crispy crust, you need a smasher when cooking over a campfire.
The smasher ensures that your food has maximum contact with the cooking surface.
The stainless steel construction can withstand temperatures of up to 450 degrees, making it perfect for use over an open fire.
The handle is raised to give you the best combination of power transfer and a good distance from the heat source.
4. Food Tweezers
If you're cooking over a campfire, you'll obviously need something to turn your food with.
It's super important that you choose food tweezers made from a material that can withstand high temperatures so they don't melt.
5. Chopping board (+ a sharp knife)
It probably comes as no surprise that you need these two things when cooking over a campfire.
But that doesn't mean they don't deserve a place on this list.
We recommend using a large chopping board with plenty of space for your ingredients.
In addition, you will of course need a sharp knife to prepare your ingredients. This should be a versatile knife that you can use for all your cutting and chopping tasks.
