 +===== cleaning ===== 
 + 
 +There are a couple main issues:  [[water:start|water]]  conservation and workspace. 
 + 
 +  * focus on single-pot meals so only one pot is dirty.  Eat out of the pot. 
 +  * "deglaze" (add small amounts of water, broth, wine, etc) the hot pan to get as much flavor into your dish as possible((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/fc57bt/tips_for_washing_potsdishes_in_minivan/fj8rem2/)) 
 +  * either clean ASAP (oatmeal and other stuff that dries on) or soak 
 + 
 + 
 +Scrambled eggs are notoriously difficult to get off pans.  Some techniques: 
 + 
 +  * don't eat scrambled eggs :-) consider poaching or hardboiling eggs to minimze cleanup 
 +  * heat the pan, then add a bit of oil and allow to heat.   Spread evenly, cook. 
 +  * after cooking, scrape off what you can with a flat wooden implement, then put a small amount of water (doesn't have to be potable) back into the pan and bring to a boil.  Simmer or allow to soak. Scrape again. 
 + 
 + 
 +===== measurement ===== 
 + 
 +Since carrying measuring cups and spoons can be unwieldy in a vehicle, 'dwellers may want to [[food:cooking:weight|measure their ingredients by weight]].
