Camp kitchen equipment: large portions, big kitchen utensils

2025. 07. 07.

Setting up camp kitchens is no ordinary task. Whether it's a scout camp, youth program, summer festival or corporate event, community catering always requires special attention and professional equipment.

Big portions - big responsibility

In camp conditions, it is often necessary to provide meals for up to 100 people. This is far from the level of traditional home cooking: planning quantities, proper storage of ingredients, optimizing cooking times, and energy efficiency all become important considerations.

Basic equipment for large kitchens

Cooking pots and pans

The foundation of a camp kitchen is large-capacity pots. Stainless steel pots are great for soups, stews, and one-dish meals. It's important that pots have a thick base for even heat distribution, and a strong, heat-resistant handle for safe handling.

Large pans are suitable for roasting meats, vegetables or even frying pancakes in large quantities.

Mixing utensils and ladles

For large portions, long-handled, heat-resistant ladles and wooden spoons are needed. Stainless steel or durable plastic versions are particularly practical, as they withstand high heat and intensive use. The long handle helps to avoid burns.

Special tools and equipment

Industrial vegetable slicers

Industrial vegetable slicers, process large quantities of onions, carrots or potatoes in an instant. This allows chefs and helpers to spend more time cooking and less time slicing.

Electric boiling pan

Electric boiling pans are the central elements of the camp kitchen. Thanks to their high performance and precise heat control, they cook large quantities of food evenly and efficiently, whether it's stew, ragout or even soup.

Storage solutions

Gastronorm containers (GN), are the ideal solution for storing ingredients and ready-made meals. These stainless steel containers are easy to pack, can be closed with a lid and are also suitable for refrigeration. They are durable and hygienic

Hygiene and cleanliness above all else

Maintaining hygiene is of utmost importance. It is essential to establish appropriate handwashing stations and provide ample amounts of dishwashing liquid, disinfectant, and paper towels.

For large quantity high-capacity industrial dishwashers are also recommended, which not only work quickly but also disinfect at high temperatures - thus reducing health risks.

The key to a successful camp kitchen is proper equipment and planning. Although purchasing professional equipment requires a larger initial investment, the long-term payback is undeniable: faster preparation, safer operation, more efficient cooking – and ultimately, satisfied guests.
