Camp Kitchen Checklist

So, you have completed your shelter or at least have the essentials crossed out. Let us now go to the kitchen. Cooking outdoors entails small and lightweight utensils. Here is a curated list of what you may need or want at the same time. You can always pack food but freshly cooked food is one of the best meals you'll have outdoors.

Let us start crossing out items that you have and need.

  

I'd go for a trusted brand as these gears may last a lifetime. 

stove, you can choose a compact stove with a detachable fuel tank, or like the one in the photo which is a 2-burner propane stove. If camping in a car you may consider Camp Chef Explorer Double Burner Stove.

 match/fire starter
cook pots and pans

eating utensils like fork, spoon, plate, drinking cup, or mug.

cook wear 

bottle and can opener I used to have a 4 in 1 camping utensil set which has a knife, spoon, fork, and can opener.
sharp knife

 

cutting board
egg holder 

 

ice or ice substitute

 

 water bottle, there are a lot of choices for a water bottle. My personal favorite is the Nalgene brand, particularly their Oasis Water Bottle.

 

biodegradable dish soap
dish sponges
trash bags 
dish towel

 

camp grill, portable and compact grill for the outdoors.

 

griddle
roasting forks
small food containers

 

large water jugs or large folding water basins.

 cooler, you can have a party stacker for camping with a vehicle while a collapsible insulated bag is a good choice for hiking.

large clear plastic bag, best for waterproofing
