Do you carry a box grater in your RV? These handy gadgets shred four different textures. They are a bit bulky, but you can maximize space by putting them over smaller items when in storage, for instance, tuna or tomato sauce cans, spice bottles, small cooking tools, etc.
The RV cooking hack (well, it is also a home cooking hack, but it makes sense for RVers) shown in the short video makes even more sense to having this object along. If you love steamed broccoli and other veggies, you are going to love this.
Steamed veggies the easy way
Put the washed, trimmed broccoli inside the grater, then place the grater over a pot of boiling water, and steam until done to your liking.
I usually grate some cheese to put on top before beginning, that way the steaming even helps clean the grater as the broccoli cooks.
Don’t limit yourself to broccoli. This easy camping and RV cooking hack also works with cauliflower, squashes, carrots, cabbage wedges, kale, and other larger veggies.

Thank you for the information, Cheri! I had a great steamer by Sunbeam. It lasted for more than a decade under almost daily use. Sadly, it died about 35 years ago. Perhaps this hint will fill some of the resulting hole in my food preparation. Have a great week and safe travels!
