What to Cook on Your Portable Adventure BBQ

Real Meals You Can Cook Anywhere

One of the biggest myths about a portable BBQ is that you’re limited to sausages and steaks.

Not with the iKSPLOR Adventure BBQ.

Because it’s spacious and designed for real cooking — not just quick grilling — you can cook proper meals for family and friends whether you’re on a 4WD trip, camping by the river, or spending the day at the beach.

Here are some of our favourite meals we’ve successfully cooked on the Adventure BBQ.

1. Loaded Camp Nachos (Made for Sharing)

This one is always a crowd favourite.

Using the cook plate, spread corn chips around the outer edge of the plate. In the centre, cook your seasoned mince with taco spices, onion and capsicum.

Once cooked:

  • Spoon the mixture over the chips
  • Add grated cheese
  • Close the lid briefly to melt
  • Top with avocado, sour cream and jalapeños

The best part?
Everyone can gather around and dig straight in.

It turns your portable BBQ into a social centrepiece.

2. Simple Camp Paella (One-Pan Wonder)

Yes — you can cook paella on a portable BBQ.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup arborio or medium-grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 chorizo, sliced
  • 200g chicken thigh, diced
  • 1/2 red capsicum, sliced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Pinch of saffron (optional)
  • Handful of prawns
  • Lemon wedges

Method:

  1. Heat oil on the cook plate.

  2. Cook chorizo until browned, then set aside.

  3. Add chicken and cook through.

  4. Add onion and capsicum, sauté until soft.

  5. Stir in rice, paprika and saffron.

  6. Pour in stock and spread evenly (don’t stir after this point).

  7. Add chorizo and prawns on top.

  8. Cover loosely with foil and cook until liquid is absorbed.

You’ll get that beautiful crispy base layer — even while camping.

This is where your Adventure BBQ really shows its capability.

3. Pork Dumpling Balls with Chow Mein Sauce

This one surprises people.

Ingredients:

  • Pork mince
  • Chow mein seasoning
  • Garlic
  • Spring onion
  • Dumpling wrappers
  • Soy sauce
  • Sweet chilli sauce

Method:

  1. Mix pork mince with chow mein spices, garlic and spring onion.

  2. Roll into small balls and cook on the BBQ plate until browned and cooked through.

  3. Lay dumpling wrappers directly over the top and lightly press.

  4. Spoon over soy and sweet chilli sauce.

  5. Let the wrappers soften from the heat and sauce.

It’s quick, flavour-packed and something different from standard BBQ fare.

Bonus Starter: Melted Camembert Platter

Your portable BBQ isn’t just for mains.

Place a wheel of camembert in the centre of the cook plate.
Let it soften and melt.

Top with:

  • Sliced peach
  • Grapes
  • Crushed walnuts
  • A drizzle of maple syrup

Serve with crusty bread.

Simple. Impressive. Perfect for sunset camping vibes.

Bonus Dessert: Camp Crepes with Banana & Chocolate

Yes — dessert on a portable BBQ is absolutely possible.

Make a simple crepe batter beforehand and store in a bottle.

Pour thin circles onto the cook plate and cook lightly on both sides.

Fill with:

  • Sliced bananas
  • Chocolate sauce

Fold and serve warm.

Nothing beats chocolate crepes under the stars.
