Our Galley
Well I don't want to get into a debate as to which stove is better, safer, cooks faster, etc. It all depends upon your perspective. As you all know a Commander does not have a galley, so we carry an Origo 3000. Yes, it does boil water in the coffee pot a little slower, than propane (we are also campers and use propane stoves) but then again, we are willing to wait for a good cup of perked coffee with a little baileys (if we are not sailing somewhere later) in the morning, while sitting in the cockpit and watching a beautiful sunrise and the wildlife around us. We cook on the Origo with a pressure cooker. Yes we have Lasagna, and lots of other good meals. You can make about anything in a pressure cooker. We also carry a charcoal mini weber grill. My husband will not grill on gas only charcoal. We have modified a fishing pole holder for mounting it on the boat. We also use it on shore or at marinas. The only time we do wish we had a galley down below is during inclimate weather. But, my husband is such a trooper, that he actually has cooked in full foul weather gear! He is the chef in our family and a darn good one. I have attached a couple of pics of him hard at work. Ahhh...great memories, good food and good drinks = wonderful cruises.
