With a reliable 12V power supply, you can expand your cooking options and make on-the-go breakfasts more exciting.
Travelling doesn’t mean you need to skip a delicious meal. If you’re on the road this Easter, discover how you can use your mobile power system for new camping breakfast ideas.
KEEP FOOD FRESH WITH A FRIDGE ON BOARD
Before planning your breakfast, know how you will carry your food and keep it fresh on your trip. While an esky is a simple option, adding a 12V fridge to your 4WD is an easy upgrade for keeping food fresh. An in-vehicle fridge also stops food getting soggy from melted ice while you're on your trip.
Having a fridge in your vehicle lets you prep meals before you go and adds more variety to your breakfast menu. Pre-prepare and store overnight oats, keep yoghurt and fruit cold or add variety to your condiments and seasonings. With a fridge, you are not limited to shelf-stable basics.
LEVEL UP WITH INDUCTION COOKING
With an onboard dual battery solution, you're not limited to gas BBQs or campfire cooking. A reliable 12V power supply expands your meal options and makes breakfast while traveling more exciting. Because of this, induction cooktops are becoming common additions to lots of people’s camp cooking setups.
A benefit of induction cooking is better temperature control, like your stove at home. This means you can make the perfect pancake, whip up eggs however you like them or avoid burnt bacon. And when you’ve finished cooking, you don’t have to scrub an unwieldy BBQ plate.
Instead, you can pack down a small cooktop and wipe the surface clean in seconds. Induction heats the pan directly, so it wastes less heat which keeps the cooking area cooler and safer. This can definitly help when you cook near the car or under an awning.
The result is a cleaner, faster, and more flexible way to eat on the road, no need for gas bottles or spending ages cleaning up.
DON'T FORGET THE PERFECT COFFEE
Another huge benefit of having on-board power is good coffee. Just because you’re camping doesn’t mean you should sacrifice a good cup of coffee. Especially with kids in tow, starting the day right is essential. Expanding your dual battery system with a pure sine wave inverter lets you take a good coffee machine on the road.
A pure sine wave inverter converts power from your secondary battery to 240V. This is the same type of power you get from home sockets. The key is matching your system to how you actually camp. Decide what you want to run, choose a battery size that covers it, and pair it with the right inverter and charging options.
This means you can pack the coffee machine and easily run other appliances for a tasty breakfast at camp. Pack the toaster to keep the kids happy or get the blender out to whip up fresh smoothies. Find out how to choose the right sized inverter with our blog on powering off-grid appliances.
