From campfire cooker to travel-friendly coolers, the August 2019 kitchen trends reveal a great deal of innovation when it comes to outdoor cooking tools.
While cooking outdoors used to mean throwing a couple of sausages on skewers and thrusting them into an open flame, today's campers have many more options. For instance, the new Snow Peak Smokemeister is a portable camp cooker with removable grill nets and an adjustable lid that allows users to fine-tune the amount of air circulation and better control the way they cook over the flames. Similarly, the new Panfold cookware system by Hakan Gürsu of Designnobis, accommodates a gel fire heat source into the unit for so backpackers or hikers can cook even when there is a fire-ban in place.
As the August 2019 kitchen trends reveal, even coolers are getting an upgrade with products like the Pelican Dayventure Sling Cooler, which is designed for solo campers.
