15" pizza stone cut down to fit our 13" Magma. Great pizza but even better steaks, pork roasts, chops, lobster and fish. No splatter or flare-ups

That's a great idea, Wambo! Do you just burn and brush it off when you're done grilling?

If you don't want to buy a pizza stone we used large ceramic floor tiles we had leftover from a build.
Easier clean as the face is glossy.

Just a word of caution. Some glaze's are toxic to people. Others would be marked food safe iirc.

I bought a piece at a boat show that I drilled into grill. It then fits into a fishing pole rod holder.

We have limited galley storage space in our little 30 footer and need to choose our cooking gear carefully. Still we manage to cook up some great feasts. Here's a few space saver tricks we use.


I have a collapsible kettle than flattens, so in can stay on the stove even with the stove lid closed.
We have a large stainless fire fighting bucket (required under local safety regulations) which doubles for cooking crabs or big serves of pasta.
Heavy cast iron cookware are essentials for us but take up no more room than the so called "non stick" variety. I usually find them in second hand store; the older the better.
We don't have a proper BBQ but have a cast iron BBQ plate which fits perfectly over our alcohol stove. It takes up virtually no space on its side in the cupboard.
We have a portable butane stove for when more than two pots are required.

Our onboard oven is a combo microwave/convection unit.. and we just follow the directions (for timing and temps) in their cookbook. Fotr example, we had our Thanksgiving turkey (breast) on board this last year, just followed the directions for roasting, turned out perfect.

That'd be nice to be able to do. We could grill on the boat in the marina where we stayed over the winter... but our home marina, and most around here, don't allow using either charcoal or gas grills while at the dock.

FWIW, we've had good luck with the various stainless models that have an encapsulated aluminum plate between layers of stainless for the bottom. Very even heating, haven't ever found any hot or cool spots...

For many years we used a cast aluminum set at home, and they finally went south... but the bottoms were really (really!) thick... and they also heated very evenly. Did I mention thick? They're apparently no longer in favor, though...

Wandering aside... I started part of this thread with comments about the nesting sets... I think if I were buying today, I'd not bother to get the non-stick versions. We only have non-stick in the "skillet" (lid) and ours is holding up OK, but it has turned out to be essentially unnecessary for our needs.

OTOH, I think I'd also augment the nesting set with a real flat (no sides) "grill" (pan) of some sort, and that might be good as non-stick. We're being inundated with commercials for copper models these days, and a friend tried one, said it works great. I may get a flat skillet anyway, once I figure out where to store one on board...

A good vacuum packer (we use a Foodsaver) has changed much of how we do things.

If I cook anything (Steak tips, pork chops, chicken breasts) I cook way more than I need. Theoretically, it's the same amount of propane to cook 3 steak tips as it is to cook 6.

We eat what we want and let the rest cool. Then vac pak them (usually 1-2 per pakg)and throw them into the freezer.

Now we can pull out a frozen pkg and let it thaw, then dice it up and toss it into anything. Quesadilla's are great, as are steak or chicken subs. mince the chicken for chicken salad or toss into a chowder or soup. We'll even cook some rice (real rice, not instant) then let it cool. Now toss the rice and diced meat into a high walled fry pan along with some veg for a stir fry.

It's a great way to make fast meals, with whole foods. Plus it allows us to have contingencies for when it's raining and nobody wants to stand in the rain to cook.

Calphalon has a new line they call "space saving."

https://www.williams-sonoma.com/prod...spacesaving-ss

It's not a true nesting design, but basically has some space saving features like the lids. It's a heavy duty product, like All Clad D5. It's not going to work if you are very limited on storage. But if you have room, it's a great product.

I was hemming and hawing about the Cristal Strate line. I liked the product and the stacking but the price was shocking. I got the Calphalon at 25% off, so my whole set was about the price of one Cristal pot. Score!

They have both a SS and Nonstick versions. Happy cooking!

Good point. We got one a few months ago, too, and it does seem to improve how long we can keep food well-frozen.

Wandering off a bit to a list of stuff we've found most useful on board over time:
- (good) nesting stainless cookware (ours are probably Cuisinart)
- a small Instant Pot (mostly in pressure cooker mode)
- a small slow cooker
- combo convection/microwave oven
- a propane grill, outside (ours is a very old Magma, looks like Boatpoker's; mixed feelings about the actual model...)
- a set of good cooking and steak knives (our are Henckels)
- one of the several flatware sets we were given at our wedding
- an extended set of a Corel dinner service plus extra complementary pieces
- a vacuum packer (getting used to it...)
- a "plastic" (?) NordicWare microwave insert thing, with ridges on one side, rides on the turntable, great for bacon!

I like the pizza brick idea; the one we use at home works great... gotta try that on the boat grill!

I think I'll eventually shop for a flat grille/skillet to augment the nesting set. The nesting skillet (also a lid for the whole set) works fine but the sides are so high it makes turning eggs a bit of a chore... and the sides aren't rounded enough like an omelet pan so actually flipping eggs hasn't worked all that well...

Something I've found totally useless: a blender. I reckon if a drink has more than two ingredients, it's either a waste of time or too fru-fru for my tastes. Ice in an ingredient.

Oooh, I love cooking and even more so on the boat (even with a POS electric Princess Stove)

I have three galley essentials:
1) Dutch Oven for stews, curries, soups, and casseroles
2) A grill for meats and vegetables
3) An oven for baked goods.

I'll second a good set of knives. We don't use 'gadgets', they take up space, many use eletricity, and they are often a pain to clean. Anything (or anybody) that wastes space, water or power is not welcome on our boat.

There is nothing that gadgets do that I can't do with an old school (analog...LOL!!) french (chef) knife. I also keep a small santoku and a large paring knife on the boat.
