Survival kitchen tools

[Loshali]

A good portion of this list isnt a life or death necessity, (that frying pan makes a great head banger!!) but it sure would make life a little easier when you are without power or very restricted power/water limits:

Old fashioned egg beater
Hand whisk
nut chopper
garlic press
metal or glass bowls (easier to clean than plastic)
iron skillets (cooking on open fire)
dutch oven
turkey baster
sharp knives and whetstone
wooden bread bowl or tray

Can opener!!

[snal]

Oooops!...you already mentioned the dutch oven...I love those things!

[sd allen]

Spoons & forks.......with all we get from China,I still dont use chopsticks!!!

[Omegaman]

Old school hand cranked coffee grinder used for grinding many things ( salt, suger and grains and dried beans.

A pickle crock for making dill pickles or pickled fish or corned beef or meat. I think a 5 gal. plastic bucket would work just as good.

A 5 gal. glass or plastic water bottle for making beer, wine or mead.

Heck some 1/4 copper tubbing to make a still for making only medical grade alcohol:rolleyes:

Hey Omie, um.. about that mead...... I had some peach mead back in October. Oh man, talk about smooth....

chopsticks are always good. they take up less room in the BOB and can double as a tool of some kind in a pinch im sure.

Hey Loshali I make some mean honey mead. I love it and every other mead I have ever drunk.

an old fashioned double boiler will be handy when there is no microwave.

These are good things to have around in case current is cut off. I have an egg beater but also I have an electric Kitchenaid mixer but if things go south I also have a conversion kit that I can put on it to use manually. I will have to find where I got that from as I got it a few years ago. I want to say e bay but not sure on that.
Anything else from these list anyone can thank of that would be useful in an EMP or very long term power outage?

I have a mini BBQ grill that is self contained. I filled the bowl (where you would put coals) with kitchen utensils, wooden spoons, spatulas, oven mitts, can opener, towels. I keep it with our BOB's so it is part of the grab and go. With that I fell my camp kitchen is pretty complete.

Ladle the one item you need to cook with!

Some way to open cans Boy scout knife still has the can opener!

Cast iron skillet and dutch oven.

Metal plates, cups, and knives, forks and spoons for the groups meals.

Also very important selection of spices!!!!!!!!

[Applejack]

also a good cutting board as well as good sharp knives and a way to sharpen them as they get dull. Also cooking items such as large spoons, spaular, and folks that can handle hot foods as you are cooking. And don't forget potholders..Burned fingers are no fun.

A small butchering kit, including a bone saw, boning knife, filleting knife and cleaver. If your breaking down animals (Mammals, fish or birds) for food, it can make life a lot easier. $20 to $50 isn't much now for increasing your speed at butchering in hot weather so your meat won't spoil.

I cooked with these regularly for years over a campfire and love them. They can be quickly set up and broken down, They are made of durable wrought iron that will outlast you, and are reasonably priced (see link).

The height of the skillet holder can be
fully adjusted to any height, and swings
freely around the leg of the crossbar fire set.
Additional handy dandy skillet holders can be added.

I cooked many a pot of gumbo in a pot hanging from the tripod on the right. Lots of chili and beans too.
