Take it or leave it?
I cook. A lot. I have gadgets and geegaws, appliances and appurtenances. My question is what to take with us when we start Long-Timing next spring. Do most of you cooks out there take most of your kit...

I love to cook and am good at it, I have owned my own restaurant as part of a Hotel I owned and so cooking well is important to me.
I brought my entire set of Cuisinart SST cookware, a Steel Wok, most of my utensils a toaster and my food processor. I also brought one or two baking sheets and other square pans and of course my cast iron dutch oven.
I had no trouble finding space to store it all. My knives go into a knife holder behind the stove (built in)most of my utensils sit in a heavy crock on the counter top and gets put in the sink when traveling. My posts and pans reside under one dinette seat.
Everything is close at hand except the food processor which is stored away more deeply.
I say take everything you think you will need or want...discard along the way as you find out what you really use.
And dont listen to those naysayers who will scream..."You'll be overweight!" Even with everything I brought for two people I still only put 650LBS in the trailer...and I weighed everything as it went in.
I am considerably underweight for my trailer capacity and truck capacity.
Take what you want, cooking and eating really well on the road is a true pleasure.
