Camping/Traveling Cooking (Seasoning) Tip

 I just found these resealable, airtight, food grade spice bags (online, Amazon).  Obviously, you can seal them if needed, but I do not.  I wanted something to easily pack seasonings for traveling.


(These packets are about 3 inches wide)

They are perfect for taking seasonings, and homemade mixed grill seasonings, for camping or traveling.  These packets are much sturdier than using snack size ziploc bags or snack bags.

If you are renting accomodations, that provide a working kitchen, or grill, these are great for packing spices, seasonings etc.   We once rented accomodations, and took seasoning already mixed up for a specific baked chicken recipe.

These are great to take to picnics, or if you are the grill cook at another get together too.  

Often times, eating a burger at a restaurant can be under seasoned or not seasoned at all.  We've decided these packets were perfect for taking some homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning in, while dining out for a burger.

If you are taking more than a few for camping, hang a piece of string and use clothespins to hold each packet in the kitchen area of the camper.  Just an idea for campers.  Of course there are magnetic spice bags and containers too, but our camper lacks the areas for magnetic anything (including the fridge).

Note: We do not keep any food of any kind inside the camper, unless we are actually camping.

They do look a nice size

Jo-Anne's Ramblings, yes, and more sturdy than ziploc or similar bags.

That's a great idea. I usually keep a few spices that are used often in the camper during the summer. Since we try to go out every couple of weeks that works out well. Of course, in the fall EVERYTHING resembling food comes home. Anything I can do to keep pests out is good.
Blessings,

Thanks Betsy, our camper we have now is pretty small, so not much space for storage.
