Boat Tested Recipes

Boat Tested Recipes

Cooking on a boat is different from cooking on land. For starters, everything is smaller – the fridge, the stove, the pantry and most definitely the counter space. Which makes boat tested recipes invaluable!

And there is limited space for gadgets and appliances, so everything needs to do at least two jobs to have a spot on our boat. Here are our primary appliances:

• MagicChef 3-burner propane stove (original to the boat in 1978)
• Hamilton Beach All Refrigerator Bar Fridge
• Instant Pot 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker – 6 Qt
• Crock Pot 4Qt. Oval Slow Cooker
• Kitchen Aid Mixer
• Ninja Professional Blender
• Cuisinart Mini-Prep 3-cup Chopper/Grinder
• Keurig K-Compact Coffee Maker (actually used for hot water for French Press coffee and pots of tea)
• Shardor Burr Grinder Mill Electric Coffee Grinder
• Dickinson Marine Sea-B-Que (BBQ)
• Frigidaire ice maker
• And the world’s smaller freezer which is actually the built-in ice maker on the boat

And the one thing we don’t have – a microwave. When we moved onto the boat, we realized just how space the microwave took up. By getting rid of it, there was room for easy access to the Instant Pot, Kitchen Aid mixer and slow cooker!

Lots of my favourite recipes made the transition to the boat. Others have been adapted and a few have fallen by the wayside. All of these recipes are boat tested and taste tested.
