Take it or leave it?

Where do you plan on storing them?

Where do you plan on setting them up to use?

When we went FT...........basics
Large skillet, medium skillet, couple of pots/pans

Hand can opener, hand mixer, small blender (bullet), couple of whisks etc.
Cooked everyday using stove top, oven, slow cooker and BBQ

Space and Weight are concerns so set priorities for YOU

If cooking is your hobby, if you get enjoyment from it and the process of it, and expect to cook on the road as you do at home, take the same appliances you use at your stationary house. Remember the proper tool makes all the difference. Just keep in mind storage requirements. I have a stand mixer, a food processor, a tabletop convection oven/toaster, an immersion blender, etc. and found two small 3-tiered wheeled carts at ikea that hold most everything and tuck into otherwise dead space. The Foreman grill gets stored in the built in oven that I never use because I hate propane baking.

You can always evaluate your tools somewhere down the road and eliminate what you don't use after all.

Ah, also an Instantpot! Fantastic tool that's a pressure cooker/slow cooker/soup pot. Love it and use it all the time.

I agree basically with the above. Use common sense as there is no way that you will be able to take very many cooking utensils as "space" will be the determining factor.

Thank you

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.

Thanks for the replies. (I've posted a "Thank-you" in the Camp Cooks forum as well.)
