Cruising and cooking

[edward]

For those that do cruise for extended time,how much cooking do you do ,or when you tie up or anchor out do you generally go ashore for meals? Thanks , Edward

We spend a lot of time in the Bahamas and rarely eat ashore. We do better food than most restaurants

We cook all the time on the move. Either on the grill or on the stove or in the instapot or rice cooker.

While it's great to have some pre-made easy meals available for when you need food in a pinch, cooking underway is not a big deal.

If it's rough, it's a good idea for the capt to turn downsea while the cook is cooking to make things easier.

Generally do my own thing. Better quality control and excellent service.

We lived aboard in the Abacos 7 Winters and cooked aboard all of the time. Baked bread, made pizzas, roasted turkeys (albeit smaller than most), deep fried. The whole deal. Would not have done it any other way.
But get a pizza stone, cast iron skillets and a cast iron grill pan like Emirill's. A butane hot plate on the aft deck with the cast iron pans and butane is fab and clean up easy.

A little of both. Love to cook but also love to enjoy the local fare. Sometimes lunch is as simple as this, dogs with NO KETSUP on the Mobile river.

We cook a lot on the boat. Sometimes as simple as microwave lunches all the way up to filet mignon seared in pan and ahi tuna. All is dependent on how much time we want to spend cooking. On the hook we do a lot more just because we have the time with no distractions. Other times we keep it simple to heat, eat, and go. It is a lot of fun.

Very similar to madhatter.
My wife cooks because she enjoys it. Jacket potatoes, rice dishes etc done in the microwave, inverter, before we arrive. Propane stove at anchor because my wife prefers cooking on gas and the peacfulness of no generator or if we are making water or charging batteries using the genny an induction hotplate.
We cruise in the US and Bahamas a couple of weeks to a couple of months at a time. Eat in or out as we desire.

WTH is KETSUP?

It’s either catsup or ketchup, and as I showed you, it’s perfectly acceptable on tube steak along with mayo.

Before I owned my Hatteras, I sat on the dock everyday and dreamed about cooking on my boat. I'd watch other boats cruise by, girls in bikinis waving to me, the capt with a big grin. I'd wonder, "I wonder what they have planned for their menu tonight."

I'd page through Boating magazine and analyze the galley on each boat. I came to this website and looked at all the old brochures. Sure, the Hatt was nice and built well, but man, cooking on one is my priority. Detroits vs Cummins? Who cares, as long as my crock-pot works...unless it was a sandwich day.

Yes, I'm glad I found this Hatteras Owners Forum. It is full of so much technical and historic knowledge. It allowed me to dream my dream...cooking aboard a Hatt.

Oh, c'mon. You're really just looking for recipe ideas aren't you?

Translation... “I can’t cook.”

We fill up the deep freeze with all sorts of meets (smoked, marinated, etc) in vacuum sealed bags. Stick the frozen vacuum seal bag in the yeti with the drinks of the day. Keeps the drinks cold and thaws dinner. Throw on the grill, microwave, or Suvie and dinner is served. We like to cook, but we do as much prep work ahead of time as possible.

Until you pay an arm and a leg for a "pizza" in the Abacos. Having done that we elected to have a custom pizza stone that fits into the galley maid oven cut. People gathered around the dock when we were cooking.

Works great... bucket of salt water, attach to the side of bucket, throw in the vacuumed sealed bags of food, set it and forget it, AND it will run off the inverter....
