How Do You Do Dishes On The Road

I am really learning alot here to really help prepare myself for the world of trucking. I take it your portable grill is like a little coleman propane grill?

Huh!. How bout that. My wife just asked me this and i didnt have an answer, now ive got a few. Looking forward tomgetting on the road.

I used to use disposable plates, but I eat salads all the time, and the plates ended up being too messy. Tuna juice kept running off the plate and spilling onto my shorts, pants, or the floor, and I had to clean it up quick because tuna fish juice can smell real bad real fast. And the disposable bowls were too costly. So I switched to Glad plastic rectangular bowls with snap-tight lids. (I really put a lot of thought into this!). Bowls work great, plenty big enough for my salads. After I'm done I put my fork (real metal fork) and that morning's coffee spoon (long-handle teaspoon for stirring sugar & cream in big travel mug) into the bowl, pour a little dish detergent into the bowl, snap the lid on tight, and put in my shower bag or carry as-is into the shower or bathroom to wash. I'm going into the bathroom or shower anyway. Easy-peasy.

As a driver who eats out of his truck (and not boring meals like sandwiches and soup every single day either) I think I can offer some good advice.

First off a disclaimer, I do have a 2k watt inverter and about every appliance you can put in a truck, you name it I can cook it. Only thing I don't have is a bbq grill. used to have a small charcole grill but took too long to preheat coals, then cook then cool the coals to wear I could dispose of them.

On that note I cook things like steak, seafood, pizza, ribs... doesn't matter.

As for clean up, it's quite simple. Roll of paper towles and clorox wipes. I'll use a couple of paper towels to get the large messy stuff wiped clean then I'll use the clorox wipes to disinfect and 1 more paper towel to dry the dishes.

My mother is a full time passenger with me so we take turns cooking and cleaning (cook for the night cleans up after him or herself).

We have also started a series on youtube around cooking, cleaning up and storage on the truck. The series is called "18 Wheeler Cooking" and channel name is Colonel Phox... in case anyone was interested. I'm actually editing a video right now on a seafood dish which also talks about how to get rid of the seafood smell.
