We gave up "real cooking" a while back.

It's a bit of a thread diversion, but I wanted to comment on the lack
of cooking in the North 40 this year.
We arrived on Sunday, set up camp, and then hiked over to PicNSave
and filled our backpacks with
groceries and ate very well the rest of the week. The surprise was we
hardly saw anyone else cooking in
our area. Did everyone walk across to Hardee's every night? Eat $4
hot dogs in the airshow? We ate
well, and not all that difficult. We used a 2 burner Coleman propane
stove. Did we violate some rule we
were unaware of?

What row were you parked in?

546. Two rows west of the shower building - a great spot!

Well no wonder! You were parked in all those caravaner's.
They were so packed full they didn't have any room for cooking utensils!
:-))

Seriously, it takes a well experienced camper to bring only what is
essential to camp at OSH. Most pilots are fliers, not campers. Most
don't own the requisite camping and cooking gear to make a home away
from home with the plane.

The proof of that is the tents many bring with them; the sleeping bags
and all the extra clothes.
The gear is so heavy and bulky, there isn't room in the airplane for
anything else they need.

Everything I used this year weighted 10-12 pounds and occupied a volume
less than two cubic feet. This reflects 35 years of backpacking
experience and knowledge and $250 worth of equipment and clothing.

As for individual cooking, all one really needs is a one-liter pot, a
single-burner stove, a spork, a cup, a plate and a spatula. Each
additional person requires a cup, plate and spork. Pretty simple, really.
You can do a lot with a single pot and boiled water.
Boil bag rice or instant mashed potatos, frozen vegetables and a meat of
your choice will make a balanced meal in less than 30-minutes.
