Whether you are planning a camping trip or you simply want a break from the kitchen, these portable cooking devices are perfectly designed for making meals on the go. While some of these mobile cookers are great for whipping up appetizers or snacks, others are capable of making full-sized family meals.
For many consumers, barbecues are the most common outdoor cooking device. However, standard barbecues are not always the most portable, which is why there have been a number of ingenious innovations in barbecue designs. From backpack grills, to collapsible BBQ suitcases and even garbage can barbecues, there are a number of unique ways for consumers to grill on the go.
While ovens are slightly more tricky to transport than barbecues, consumer demands for portable cooking devices have led to a number of innovative new oven designs. Many of these ovens are designed specifically for camping, meaning they are able to operate without a continuous source of electricity. Using solar power and high-tech heating pads, these portable ovens allow you to cook a full-sized meal no matter where you may be.
