Cooking with an Electric Stove in an RV – The Good, The Bad & The Hilarious 😂🔥

Alright, let’s be real—RV kitchens are tiny. Cooking on a portable electric stove is like performing a magic trick in a shoebox. But after plenty of trial (and some error), here’s what I’ve learned about making the most of it:

✅ The Good:

• Fast Heat-Up Time: No waiting around like you do with propane. Perfect for when I’m hangry and need food now.
• Easy Cleanup: Smooth surfaces = no scrubbing crusty burners for 20 minutes.
• No Propane Worries: No running out mid-cook and having to finish your meal over a candle. (Yes, it happened. No, it wasn’t good.)

❌ The Bad:

• Power Considerations: Flip on the coffee maker at the same time? Congratulations, you’ve just turned off everything in your RV.
• Not the Best for Large Groups: Unless you like cooking one small dish at a time while everyone else watches hungrily.

😂 The Hilarious:

• Cooking Outside on Windy Days: Ever tried keeping a lightweight electric stove in one place when a strong gust comes through? It’s like watching an appliance try to escape your life.
• Overcooking Everything at First: “Oh, this heats up faster than propane? Cool.” Proceeds to burn everything for a week.
• That One Time I Forgot My RV Wasn’t Level: Ever tried frying eggs when your pan keeps sliding off the stove? Yeah, me neither… (Okay, yes, totally happened.) Speaking of leveling your RV, if you’re constantly dealing with slanted cooking disasters, you might want to check out these RV leveling blocks. Trust me, it makes a difference!

Anyone else have some electric stove cooking fails? Or am I the only one who’s sent a pancake flying? 😆

Hey fellow adventurers! 🚐🎉

Wow, we’re talking portable electric stoves, aka the unsung heroes of RV road trips and spontaneous campsite cook-offs. Here’s my spicy take on choosing the right one:

• ⚡ Power Struggles: Make sure your choice can keep up with your culinary ambitions. Scrambled eggs shouldn’t need 5000 watts – unless you like them explosive! 😅
• 🍳 Size Matters: Like Goldilocks, aim for one that’s just right. Too small and you’ll be cooking in shifts, too big and you’ll need a trailer just for your stove!
• 🕺 Dancing Around Cords: Ensure the cords are long enough so you’re not doing the electric slide just to reach an outlet. 🪩
• 🌟 The Bells and Whistles: Pre-set temps, timers, auto shut-off? Fancy doodads make you feel like a culinary wizard (or the star of your own cooking show) without any added stress. 🎩
• 💼 Stow and Go: Consider portability and storage. Some should collapse faster than my willpower in front of a candy store. 🍬

What about you? Have any tales from the stovetop side, or are you still searching for one that’s hot, hot, hot in all the right ways? 🔥 Let’s get cooking! 🍝🥳
