I'm Going To Kivi Bros. Trucking! So Excited!

Thanks BK I know Big Lots has good deals too. What about the slow cooker OldSchool uses? Have you ever tried to do anything with that? What do you make in the frying pan? And yeah I think I rather have a clean dish cloth to wash the dish than a k9's tongue lol!

truck. What are some low cost accessories I could buy for making food on the road easier? I would need to overnight them for sure unless I bought them in a local store.

I live in my truck full time and do all my cooking with an electric frying pan from Walmart. I don’t use a microwave, but many drivers have one. Electric water heating pot and a French Press for coffee. Also from Walmart. Pretty hard to get more basic and economical than that, but it works well for me. Pictured below is the K9 model dishwasher, available at any Humane Society Shelter.

Slow cookers are good but tip over easier than the electric frying pan. The frying pan will slow cook just as well, so I only keep the one appliance since I find the frying pan the most versatile. Just throw some boneless chicken thighs or breasts in with a can of cream of celery soup, a can of cream of chicken soup, some frozen veggies, chopped onions, add some water and seasonings, put on low heat to get it to a boil for about 2 hours, then turn down the heat below boil and let it cook for hours while you drive. If you get tired of chicken, use pork instead. Easy Peasy.

Bk thank you! May I ask what brands of frying pan would you buy for on the road and how do you make sure that the frying pan doesn't tip over while driving? What utensils? Also what would you purchase that would be semi affordable to keep food cool in?

I have a Presto electric skillet that I had 1.5 years before coming off the road. I never cooked anything while I was actually driving. I would wait till I was parked and then cook up a quick meal. I also have a house so before I would head out from home time I would cook up some meat, freeze it and then thaw it out while on the road and warm it up. I had a small cooler type freezer that I put up on the upper bunk and kept all my raw and cooked meats in that. It was an off name brand and started having problems so I bought a new one that is still packed in the box but it had better ratings on eBay and Amazon. I don't buy from Amazon, I bought that one off of eBay as well as my Presto skillet. I had a small microwave that sat in the cubby hole on my Freightliners and the last truck that was a Peterbilt. I got a coffee maker sometime ago from Family Dollar that made one 16 oz cup of coffee and since I parked in rest areas, on ramps and weigh stations, that was real handy to have.

Walmart sold cheap silverware 3 to a bundle that I bought so I had three forks and three spoons and one serrated sharp knife. I also had a spatula/egg flipper because I eat a lot of farm fresh eggs when my girlfriend has them. To this day, I gag if I have to eat fast food. Plus I'm needing to lose weight to hopefully bring down my blood pressure and so I am doing carnivore/ketovore as a way of eating. Ketovore is adding vegetables that are very low in carbs. I don't really like vegetables so I'm mostly carnivore....meat, all kinds but mainly ruminant meat (beef, goat, lamb), poultry, eggs, nonbreaded fish and cottage cheese. Dairy is allowed, but because of the processing, many people don't tolerate cheeses very well and they tend to be a bit higher in carbs. So I do eat cheese because I love it, but I restrict it to once or twice a month and eating only about 3-4 oz at a time. I do like the KISS philosophy, so that's all I kept on the truck. Having an air fryer or an instapot was more than I would really want.

Here is the electric skillet I use:

It sits on the top of the refrigerator cabinet in the recessed area. It may slide around a little bit on rough roads, but it has never bounced out of that recess.

I think the Father wants you to use one of these units. That’s why he sent me to you. God works in mysterious ways.

WOW ! Did I read that correctly ID Mtn Gal?? you like you some goat meat? Shocker, most Americans don't, they don't know what yumminess they're missing LOL

I found Mexicans can cook it the best for some reason. Had me many a goat taco,& goat meat growing up, going to Mexicali a lot. With our dad's,my buddy and our bro's went quite often for a time. His Granny had a ranch out in the country, we went out to grab a goat, to bring back to city to uncles to butcher and cook....I got that chore, wrangle up the goat, drag into the backseat of a 1969 Impala for the ride to the city, I was around 11 or 12, fun times.

We have a bull, and started with 4 piglets to raise and sell in 3 months, and rebuy more as these go bye bye to be roasted. Chickens roaming around, only thing we don't have is goats !! Others around us have those, so plenty of meat when they cook em up

Makes sense! I wonder if it's in Walmart, Big Lots or Lowes? I'll look at Aldi's too. Thanks!

Okay now I am going to have to try it!

LOL yes you did Stevo.

When I was on active duty in the Air Force, I got stationed on Sardinia. Since I didn't speak Italian, the guys asked me if I liked onion rings. Yes I told them, so they ordered for me. What I got wasn't onion rings! Calamari is something I really love now but had I known it was squid, like most people, I would have said "eewww I don't like it". From that I learned that I really needed to try something once, maybe twice if cooked differently and decide if I really liked something or not. Actually, I have eaten horse, llama, a lot of goats and sheep as well as beef and pork. I like all kinds of meat.

Right now, I am seriously thinking of being actually retired from driving, getting a milking doe (nanny) and a meat doe so I can sell raw milk again and have goat kids to put in the freezer every year. The husband and I raised goats for 22 years and they are a lot of work to take care of properly, but if I keep the numbers small, I should be able to do it without too much trouble as I get older 😉

All you goat eaters, remember that you are what you eat. Lol
