Three Things To Cook in the KickAss All-In-One Jaffle, Waffle, Sandwich & Grill Press

Off-grid touring is no excuse for boring camp food. If you're tired of packing three different bulky pans just to get through breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it's time to upgrade your camp kitchen setup.

The KickAss All-In-One Jaffle, Waffle, Sandwich & Grill Press is built tough for Australian conditions and designed to handle years of camp cooking. Drawing 1000W of power, it runs perfectly off a standard 240V supply or through a 1200W or larger pure sine wave inverter connected to your dual battery system.

With three interchangeable non-stick plates, this single compact unit handles everything from golden breakfasts to quick, satisfying dinners. Here are three simple, campsite-proven recipes to help you make the most of each plate on your next adventure.

1. Campfire Berry & Maple Waffles (Using the Waffle Plates)

There is nothing better than waking up to the smell of fresh, golden waffles in the bush. This simple recipe uses pre-mix batter to keep things quick and mess-free.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of store-bought waffle shaker mix (just add water)
• 1 tablespoon of melted butter or cooking spray
• Maple syrup and fresh berries to serve

Method:

1. Insert the Waffle Plates: Make sure the press is unplugged and cool. Click the waffle plates securely into the upper and lower housings.
2. Preheat the Press: Plug the unit into your inverter or power source. The red and green indicator lights will turn on. While the plates heat up, shake your waffle mix according to the package instructions.
3. Wait for the Light: Once the green ready light turns off, the plates have reached the optimal cooking temperature.
4. Pour and Cook: Unlatch the cool-touch handle, open the press, and lightly grease the plates with butter or spray. Pour the batter evenly into the center of the waffle grids, ensuring you do not overfill. Close the lid, engage the secure locking latch, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until steam stops escaping.
5. Serve Hot: Carefully open the press and remove the waffles using a wooden or silicone spatula. Top with berries and a generous pour of maple syrup.

2. The Double-Barreled Cheese & Ham Jaffle (Using the Sandwich Plates)

A classic toasted sandwich is the ultimate campsite lunch. The extra-large 28 x 15 cm plates are generously sized, meaning you can fit two massive slices of bread side-by-side. No bread hanging over the edges, and no precious cheese oozing out onto your bench.

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of thick-cut sandwich bread
• 4 slices of smoked leg ham
• 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese (or sliced mozzarella)
• Sliced tomato (optional)
• Butter for the outside of the bread

Method:

1. Swap to Sandwich Plates: Click the sandwich plates into place.
2. Butter and Prep: Butter one side of each piece of bread. These buttered sides will touch the hot plates directly to give you that perfect, golden-brown crunch.
3. Assemble the Jaffles: Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, onto a clean surface. Load them up with ham, cheese, and tomato. Top with the remaining bread, butter-side up.
4. Load the Press: Once the green ready light on the press turns off, carefully lay both sandwiches side-by-side on the bottom plate.
5. Lock and Toast: Close the lid and press down, securing the locking latch to seal the edges of the bread. Let the automatic temperature control work its magic for 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Enjoy: Once golden and crispy, pop them out with a non-metal utensil. Let them cool slightly before cutting, as that melted cheese will be molten hot.

 

3. Sizzling Garlic & Herb Chicken Skewers (Using the Flat Grill Plates)

The flat grill plates turn your press into a compact campsite BBQ. It is the perfect option when you want to grill up a quick protein-packed dinner without dealing with the hassle of a massive gas bottle or charcoal setup.

Ingredients:

• 400g chicken thigh fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces and threaded onto short wooden skewers (soaked in water first)
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano or rosemary
• Salt and cracked black pepper
• Fresh lemon wedges to serve

Method:

1. Set Up the Grill Plates: Securely install the flat grill plates into the press.
2. Preheat: Connect the power and wait for the green heating light to turn off.
3. Season the Chicken: Toss your skewered chicken in a bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
4. Grill Evenly: Place the skewers onto the preheated bottom plate. Close the lid gently, but do not lock the latch if the skewers are too thick. The top plate will rest on the chicken, cooking it from both sides at once. This cuts your cooking time in half and keeps the meat incredibly juicy.
5. Check for Doneness: Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and has beautiful charred grill marks.
6. Serve: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and serve with a quick camp salad.

 

Clean Up Made Easy

Thanks to the premium non-stick coating on all three plate sets, cleanup is as simple as wiping the cooled plates down with a damp cloth or sponge. If you have stubborn cheese or residue, use the plate release buttons to pop them out once fully cooled, and wash them in warm soapy water.

Pack up is just as simple. Neatly wrap the 1m power cord around the built-in storage tabs and store the press vertically in your camper cupboard to save precious space.
