I think the only thing that will be difficult for me to adjust to in van life, is downsizing my cooking. I like to cook and all of my pans are cast iron which my dad passed on to me.
Surely I have no practical application to tote around a dozen heavy cast iron pots and pans inside the van. I'm thinking of bringing only one 12" skillet and a 2qt pot with lid. I think I could get a wide variety done with those two items (I'll have only two burners at any rate).
I have some deep 14" skillets too, and one very large cast iron pot with lid (8 qts I think) that I'm considering bringing to try as a dutch oven, but I don't know if it's worth the space and weight.
I have others, too, such as an enameled Le Creuset, small pans, griddle, etc.
Which would you make your priority?
