Add paella seasoning and stir add what ever you like....chicken, pepperoni, chorizo, squid, prawns etc etc and veggies you like...peas, red pepper, sprinkle chicken oxo over and having a kettle on side, add water bit by bit and everytime paella soaks up water add moe....paella shouldn't be stirred just moved around...when rice tastes as soft as you want it...serve!!!

Put potatoes in slow cooker (dry-no oil or water)
Put lid on.
Leave on low for 4-7 hours depending on size (just check occasionally with skewer)
Baked potatoes DONE!!
Add any filling you fancy (cheese, coleslaw, tuna, beans, tinned vegi chilli...... whatever)
Pre-prepared side salad.....
Dinner with only around 5 mins actual preparation time!
I have a microwave, toaster, Georgeforeman and a bbq and never have a use for the cooker.
The George foreman comes in for all meats, eggs, mushrooms, unions waffles, all sorts really and the rest gets done in microwave, can boil rice and pasta in micro,
With in being holiday too, if we do a dinner as such we use tin carrots, peas, pots, ( also can stock up and leave in cupboard ) chicken breast on George foreman, carrots, peas and pots on microwave and some bisto gravy.
So we don't use cooker at all, I'm even thinking of removing the over and hob for more cupboard and side space.
Wow, these meals sound fabarooo!... i managed a beef madrass (from a tin) with rice..... lots of pasta packet mixes and pot noodles... first trip out in our new to us caravan so im sure i'll get more adventurous....some of these recipes sound deeeeelish!
AceMarauders, What do you do with that? looks interesting!

Enjoyed trailer-tenting,
Now loving caravanning 😊😊
Its a funny old thing. you open it up butter or spread 2 slices of bread place in butterside against the metal then you put in your filling close up and sit on the hob turning half way.
I was brought up with camping food from one and picked up ares at a jumble sale 20p
You can put allsorts in it. are regulars were beans or cheese and ham for breakfast for dinner we would have things like tinned stewing steak. and we even had pudding still using bread but filling was tinned apples. supprisingly tasty. ideal for if you only have minimal cooking facilitys as only need one hob.

After looking at all these recipes, and the different items people use to cook with, nobody seems to mention toasted sandwich makers. Does anyone use one of those anymore?
depending on how many poeople 4-5 large potatoes diced to about 1/2 inch size, 2 onions chopped , 1 or 2 small tins of sweetcorn (use the juice it comes in as well), 1-2 tins of tuna in oil or brine (drain them first), grated cheddar cheese (stronger flavour the better) Chicken stock (1 or 2 cubes are fine). 1/2 to 3/4 pt of milk. Loads of fresh ground black pepper
Put Onions and pots in large pan. Cover with boiling water from the kettle or cold it doesnt matter add the stock cube(s) and black pepper. Bring to the boil cook until potatoes are done. Add tuna, sweetcorn bring back to the boil, Add milk (as the stock will have greatly reduced) Finally add the grated cheese and enjoy.

We just cook as we would at home as we have an oven, microwave and grill plus hob. Going away often we've found eating a lot of processed food to save time increases weight gain! I've made a good pasta bake in the grill pan, then placed in the oven. I'm willing now to take a little longer preparing and cooking food to keep on top of weight.
