The old man in winter is knocking on the door. Whether you are building a base camp for snowshoeing adventures or going to a yurt on vacation, you must have a sturdy camp kitchen to cheer the crew on. Therefore, with the arrival of the snowshoe season, it is time to start thinking about upgrading your camp cooking equipment.
Summer is a great time to grill hot dogs over the fire or heat up light meals in an old camping stove. But when you go out for snowshoeing, you will burn a lot of precious calories. These calories are the fuel you need to keep warm and move on on cold days.
It is comforting to return to the camp and enjoy a hearty warm meal, such as lasagna and French bread, or a large piece of hearty steak with baked potatoes and all the ingredients. But without proper camp kitchen tools, cooking in the wild is very challenging.
We have sorted out the latest and greatest camp kitchen equipment, and provided you with six suggestions on how to improve your cooking this season. So, from French press coffee to warm cast iron skillet apple pie, get ready to dine this winter camping season and impress your companions with a great meal.

One of the greater obstacles to cooking on the spot is the limitation of cooking on a fire or burner. After all, there are so many things you can cook on an open flame, pan or pan. But with Omnia Stovetop Oven, you can turn any stove into an oven.
Imagine the possibility of using an oven in the camp. Omnia is a lightweight round stove oven that unlocks various cooking options previously used for cooking at home. From calzones to chicken wings, breakfast cinnamon rolls, dessert chocolate cake, bright red Omnia provides the palette.
Anything that can be made in the oven can be baked in Omnia, a three-piece system that includes a base, cooking container and lid. The contained heat circulates throughout the oven, from the burner to any heat source in the stove.
Perhaps one of the best parts of this cooking tool is its ease of cleaning. No one wants to wash the dishes when camping. With Omnia, you can simply throw the aluminum foil lining in the trash can or use the easy-to-clean silicone lining.
There is even a muffin ring plug-in for making muffins! Omina is priced at US$67, taking camp cooking to a new level.

Sometimes, a campfire is the only heat source that can be used for cooking, but this can be challenging in the wild because no two fire pits are the same. We have all had such a terrible moment when trying to balance a pan or grate over an unpredictable flame, throwing expensive steaks or burgers into the fire pit.
Breeo Outpost uses a sturdy stainless steel platform to eliminate this dilemma, and is equipped with piles and anchors that can extend to any fire pit. Simply use a sturdy pole to drive the stakes into the ground, insert a sturdy stabilizer pole, and place the grill grate at the desired height above the flame.
The grate can be easily adjusted or rotated away from the fire source as needed to add more sticks or logs to the pit. The system is strong enough to support cast iron frying pans, tomahawk steaks, or both. No matter what your crew puts in, Breeo can handle it.
The large Outpost grill is made of 304 stainless steel, which is easy to carry, but sturdy and durable. In addition, the simplicity of cooking at the desired temperature allows you to drink a hot drink to relax and treat your sore muscles after a long day on the road.
