Mini Camp Kitchen Tour - a no-build compact box of gear for cooking inside my 5th gen 4Runner

Fret not! I still adore the chuckbox I built a couple years ago, and still plan on using it, but exclusively outside of the vehicle. The old way, I used to grab what I needed from it the night before, and stashed it inside, so I would have it in the morning -- always forgetting something! I wanted a smaller version of my full-size camp kitchen, that I could keep my coffee making supplies in, as well as some cooking alternatives, for when the weather is bad, or if I'm camping stealth. So I've been packing this crate with all sorts of gear, until I got a combination I like.
The audio is crappy and I'm sorry but I don't know how to fix it 😭
This is the box: amzn.to/44J0pg5
Links to box -- and everything inside it -- is here:
www.amazon.com/shop/shoestrin...
The pet food bowls that I use for storing the kettle and mini waffle maker were part of a dog travel kit, but I found some similar ones sold separately. I can't say for sure whether the appliances will fit in them, but they have 105oz capacity, so I would think so.

-- except for the items I got on Temu, because their links change constantly.

That's a VERY well thought out set up. I didn't think you could improve on the original kitchen but I see the advantages to having a smaller kitchen to choose from. I'm putting the stove top sandwich maker on my list.

Since box has openings on 5 sides the inside could be divided into different compartments with foam poster board from dollar tree. You can use straight pins and glue or tape to hold together or both. Cover with contact it for easy clean up. I find double thickness of f.p.b. works best. ($1.25p/s). The two pans from neighbor is a plate and lid or two lids or two plates. With three ways to cook makes posable to cook three things at same time. A thin board ((wood or plastic)) (just bigger than w.p.box) with three perpendicular short sides extending above and below horizontal board (use quarter round for structure strength). Could be rotated 90° so little propane bottle could be pointed away from front and have more space. A smaller board (mines quarter round) could flip out over remainder of w.p.box for more space. (Forgot to say: a hinge small lip flips down under main horizontal board at with distant to keep m.h.board from sliding in 90° position) when not in service could just stay on top.

Hi Martha! Just discovered your channel last night. Thanks for sharing this great video. It’s so helpful and I really enjoyed your presentation style. I’ve ordered that box from Temu and excited about the possibilities. I’m progressively putting together a van life rig for my son, but my wife and I are definitely going to be the first to take some time away in it. It’s a former work van with the wrap hastily removed and looks horrible lol 😂 BUT this 2013 Ford E250 is in excellent mechanical shape and I believe up to the challenge of good times with positive vibes. 😎 Anyway, thanks again for the video and your perspective.

got my japenese lunch box for heating mre meals in water. i also got the correct one as it came with steamer grate. just bars. yours is better. the other item that i got was a extra small cutting board. if you like lobster. recipe is as follows. cut the back shell & skewer to prevent curling. take the bentwo or tuna lunch box boil up some salt water, drop in the tail. cook for 15 - 20 minutes till done. use the small 3 to 4 oz tails. will fill the pot. i picked up last fall the grate you have along with a straight bar one. both the same size. both will fit on a sterno single can warmer burner. several years ago i took a steamer plate from another pot setup & made it into a bottom grate for a charcoal grill. the single can sterno burner is my primary charcoal grill these days. it will hold 6 to 9 briquites. gives me an hour of cooking time. will hold up to 4 hotdogs or 1 hamburger or 2 lobster tails (3-4ozers). have also done a wood fire in this as well.

That's a nice portable setup. I'd like to get one of those boxes eventually (and will use your link:). Maybe two. The selling feature for me is that ALL the sides have doors that make the inside contents accessible from any direction you might have it facing. I've removed the heavy duty chuckbox I made, even though I absolutely love it, because I'm finding that when we sleep inside the Forester, the dogs and I just need every bit of that space. So, I'm going to adjust a few things in my setup just slightly once the backpacking season is over.

I will say that, while I love it's functionality, the plastic is a bit flimsy. I don't expect that it'll last for more than a couple years, but it was the only one I could find that was structured like that. I actually found one on Temu that has the flaps that open up; only opens on two side, and it's just unattractive. share.temu.com/ShoaIoo1KFA
@lovedogsontheloose
@lovedogsontheloose Год назад
@@ShoestringMartha Yeah, I see what you mean about the Temu one being unattractive. At least on the one you have the table top is real wood (?). 😂 Hm... I will look around a bit more before I do anything, but I do still like what you're using quite a bit, if only because I haven't found anything else quite like it that's not ridiculously expensive. I did see something similar once, still made of plastic though, that was pretty pricey. And now I can't find that one, either. lol.

Overall new set up is less clunky than handmade chuck box. But original is still endearing. Maybe use the top insert of the new box as your starting point to attach the side board(s) you mentioned to expand space. Two pieces with hinge folds flat on top and you figure out the rest because my brain gets stuck after that.😉

Really like your mini kitchen setup! Do you have the MyMini Noodle Cooker with the 5" Skillet w/lid. The base plate can be used as a Griddle --- It'sa 2-in-1. I have 2 of them (1 for my Van, and 1 for my Motorcoach). The SOLO STOVE POT 900ml fits perfectly on the base plate if you like extra volume for cooking with it (sold separately). Anyway, it might be a good addition to your current mini kitchen items.

Original intention or not, it works fine over a low flame as well in a toaster oven. The only real issue is minor - slight tempering discoloration and bottom oil canning from heating and cooling. A pair of 4" and 6" inch round stainless baking pans can be used in the same way, can be nested for storage, and a 17cm stainless plate makes an adequate loose lid for the 6" pan.
