Follow these nautical cooking guidelines to be able to cook successfully aboard a yacht.
To maximize space, carry only the bare minimum of cooking utensils (many boats come supplied with the bare minimum), and hang pockets on the wall to store silverware, spices, and tools like bottle or can openers.
Avoid bringing anything that requires a lot of chopping because the preparation spaces are usually small.
If you are not using any dangerous utensils, put them away since even when docked, a boat moves and any sharp things can fall or hurtle across the boat, injuring someone.
To keep plates and cutting surfaces from sliding, use non-slip mats or damp tea towels.
Use lump sugar instead of granulated sugar, which can spill all over the place.
In bad weather, it’s a good idea to have at least one pan with a locking lid for making one-pot meals.
Pressure cookers are also a wonderful purchase for making meals on a yacht because they drastically cut cooking time.
Ascertain that everyone in the team understands how to safely light the stove and manage the fuel supply.
Keep the gas on if it’s a gas installation.
What to bring on a sailing trip and how much to bring
The amount of food you’ll bring to your boat is determined by the number of people on board and general estimations of how much each person can consume in a day, multiplied by the number of days your sailing vacation will last.
The general guideline for sailing food is to bring a little extra.
This is a reference to non-perishable food.
Because you may get perishables every other day or anytime you are in port, buy in large quantities that you can utilize before they go bad.
You are free to bring whatever food you like on board.
Don’t forget to bring snacks and plenty of water.
This includes alcohol as well.
Cover daily meals
So, what should you get for your first sailing adventure?
Making a list according to meals – breakfast, lunch, and dinner – is an excellent idea.
Milk, cereals, bagels, eggs, ham, jams, butter, and bread are traditional breakfast items.
You can eat whatever you want during lunch.
Buy ingredients that can be assembled into light salads or sandwiches if you want to keep it simple.
This includes lettuce, various vegetables, canned tuna, pasta, cheese, and certain meats, such as chicken.
Dinners normally necessitate a little more preparation.
You must accommodate everyone’s preferences and habits, whether they are vegetarian or not, as well as the number of groceries you will purchase.
They must be durable, especially
Get enough drinks
Keep in mind that the water on board is usually not for drinking, so use it cautiously. When it comes to liquids, however, the general norm is 1.5 liters per person per day. Don’t forget to stock up on soda and alcoholic beverages.
You will almost certainly consume more of both than you would at home.
Coffee and tea should be included as well.
Purchase your favorite condiments and spices.
Salt and pepper are the only spices you’ll find on a boat (do not forget to check with your charter). Mayonnaise, ketchup, chile, and other spices and sauces should be purchased. If you travel near the Mediterranean shore, you can get spices such as rosemary, thyme, and sage; use them because they are the greatest.
