But now that I\u2019m traveling full-time with my son, I\u2019ve had to prioritize meals that are quick, convenient, and easy to clean up. With limited storage space in our rig, I can\u2019t pack everything I\u2019d like, so I\u2019ve pared down our campervan cooking equipment to the essentials we use the most.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, I\u2019m sharing my favorite tried-and-true van life kitchen equipment essentials \u2014 the cookware, utensils, and gear that make cooking on the road simple and stress-free. Whether you\u2019re outfitting a new build or upgrading your current setup, these van life cooking essentials will help you eat well without cluttering up your space.<\/p>\n<p>For more van life meal planning tips, see my <a href=\"https:\/\/bearfoottheory.com\/van-life-cooking\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">guide to cooking delicious food in a tiny space<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!-- [element-101536] --><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-6-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2e67e1c9645a5379619f676532176348\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><em>This post may contain affiliate links.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- [\/element-101536] --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-major-kitchen-appliances\">Major Kitchen Appliances<\/h2>\n<p>Over the years, I\u2019ve figured out what camper van cooking equipment is actually worth the space \u2014 and what we can live without. These are the major appliances I use the most in our van. Some people love having things like a toaster oven or an Omnia stovetop oven (if they cook with gas), but for our setup, this list covers everything we use to make cooking on the road easier.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items105654_8f27d6-1e kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone kt-list-icon-aligntop\">\n<ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-105654_c473f4-da kt-svg-icon-list-style-default\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_checkSquare kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"9 11 12 14 22 4\"\/><path d=\"M21 12v7a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V5a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h11\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Induction stove<\/strong>: While gas stoves are great for outdoor cooking, an induction stove makes cooking inside your camper van so much easier. There\u2019s no setup required, no hauling ingredients outside, and cleanup is a breeze. Just note that you\u2019ll need a powerful battery system and inverter to run it. I highly recommend avoiding a built-in propane stove \u2014 I had one in my first van, and it took up a lot of space, wasn\u2019t the safest option, and was a huge hassle to clean.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-105654_5afeae-5f kt-svg-icon-list-style-default\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_checkSquare kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"9 11 12 14 22 4\"\/><path d=\"M21 12v7a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V5a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h11\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Small air fryer<\/strong>: Apart from our stove, our air fryer is the appliance we use most.

It\u2019s perfect for cooking rice, quinoa, beans, soups, lentils, and one-pot pasta. I love that I can set it and forget it \u2014 freeing me up to clean up, play outside with my son, or get some work done while dinner cooks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-105654_467c1b-c6 kt-svg-icon-list-style-default\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_checkSquare kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"9 11 12 14 22 4\"\/><path d=\"M21 12v7a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V5a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h11\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Cookware<\/strong>: I use the <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow noindex\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Amazon Magma Nesting Stainless Steel Induction Cookware Set\" href=\"https:\/\/bearfoottheory.com\/go\/amazon-magma-products-nesting-stainless-steel-induction-cookware-set-10-piece\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Magma Nesting Induction Stainless Steel Cookware Set<\/a>, and it\u2019s been amazing. While this set is heavy, the handles are removable and the pots nest together to save space, and they\u2019re super high quality (unlike most camp cookware). In my experience, the stainless steel holds up better than nonstick. I used to have the nonstick version and the coating got scratched on some bumpy roads. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-105654_2f2730-df kt-svg-icon-list-style-default\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fe_checkSquare kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"9 11 12 14 22 4\"\/><path d=\"M21 12v7a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V5a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h11\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\"><strong>Microwave<\/strong>: A microwave is definitely a luxury item, but now that we have one in our Rossmonster Baja Trail truck camper, I use it daily. It makes heating up leftovers, milk for my morning matcha, or late-night popcorn quick and easy.
