Make Gourmet Cookery A Reality This Season With Camperlands
(News archive - June 2nd 2009)With camping set to increase to unprecedented levels this summer as the credit crunch begins to bite and temperatures set to rocket over the coming months, Camperlands, the leading provider of camping equipment and campervan accessories are offering camping novices the ultimate guide to campsite cookery!
The camping novice can be filled with dread at the thought of baked beans for breakfast lunch and dinner, but camping in the 21st century has changed significantly with the introduction of portable gas hubs, portable ovens and burner stoves.
Dominic Ryder, Managing Director of Camperlands, the Manchester based firm who offer airbed's, ground sheets, tents, motorhome equipment and caravan accessories, said, "Progressions in camping equipment mean that the days of eating a tin based diet are long gone! Today campers are more likely to be eating apple cider stew or chicken creole!"
The Kampa Roast Master available from Camperlands, is the ideal camping accessory for gourmet living. Consisting of a two in one combo hob and oven, this nifty piece of equipment allows for not only matchless ignition but also allows the user to create even the most complex of dishes.
When arriving at the campsite location make sure that you seek out shade for food preparation, and bear this in mind when pitching your tents. This area should also house all of your perishable foods, so make sure that as well as keeping them chilled in cooler bags, make an effort to keep them out of the sun’s harmful rays. Any good campsite will have an ice store or somewhere where you can get ice from, so be sure to ask for directions on arrival to ensure that you food is as fresh as a daisy.
The same attention should be paid to dry foods such as cereals, breads and seeds, to make sure that boxes or packaging are not penetrated by birds, insects or ants. If your car is nearby, try storing such items in the car boot or back seat, that way you will avoid any nasty additions to your morning meal!
Mr Ryder, from the firm who offer a huge range of cooking equipment ideal for campsite cookery added, "Camping comfortably is all about preparation. Make sure that you compile a list of tasty recipes before you set off, that way you will be able to provide your friends and family members with a balanced diet that steers away from the traditional burger and baked bean partnership! Make sure that you also take biodegradable detergent with you, so that you can wash up afterwards and keep the pests at bay."
"Camping novices should certainly think about getting some hints and tips from those in the know prior to departure. I would advise anyone with a future trip in mind to pay our website a visit for the very latest hints and tips to ensure that you make the most of your time outdoors."
About Camperlands
The late and much missed Mike and Peggy Ryder founded Camperlands Ltd in 1968. The original concept was to hire frame tents out in the summer season to generate some extra income for their growing family. Their first season lasted 6 weeks during the summer school holidays and was run from the back garden of the family home. It was a resounding success, which gave the Ryder's the confidence to begin tent sales along with camping equipment and caravan accessories. The business grew and the following year relocated onto a garage forecourt, where all the tent displays had to be erected and dismantled every day. So in 1970 the company moved to its present premises, this gave Mike and Peggy Ryder the space and security required to begin creating the purpose built open-air camping and leisure exhibition that exists today.
Today there is quite literally thousands of caravan, camping and motorhome accessories in stock, with several covered display areas dedicated to trailer tents, tents and folding campers.
