Have questions about the cooking situation at our site? Read below for answers!
Is there an open kitchen to use for cooking on site?
No there is not.
Can we use crock pots/electric griddles?
Yes, but only with express permission from Logistics Director RJ Smedley. We can only have 2 crockpots/electric cooktops plugged in at the same time. This is so we do not overwhelm the power grid at the camp. When cooking indoors, please put down a mat or tablecloth to protect the tables.
Can I use an outdoor grill/gas burners?
Yes you can. All grills and gas burners/stoves must be used outside. There are also fire pits available, but there needs to be a designated fire watcher. If a fire pit is left unattended, fire privileges will be revoked immediately.
Is there a microwave/coffee maker/hot water dispenser/fridge?
Yes! You are welcome to use these!
What happens if combat breaks out near me while i’m cooking?
When a Player is cooking, we ask that they don an orange headband to mark themselves as a Non-Combatant. Orange headbands will be pinned the to bulletin boards in the Mess Hall for use. The cooking Player should never be attacked, but also should not engage in combat until their cooking is complete and any hot items (i.e. griddles, hot plates) are safely cooled and stored. Guides should move any combat at least 15 feet away from the cooking area and stand near the border of the area as a signal to those in combat.
Players found abusing this system as a way of avoiding combat will be issued a corrective action (this does not include Players who have been non-combatant for safety or health reasons.)
Could I use the kitchen with a food license?
No, Battle Creek Camp regulations prohibits anyone other than their staff from using it.
Are there any prohibited food for allergies?
Yes. Peanuts are prohibited by Battle Creek Camp, and should be avoided if possible. If you accidentally bring a food with peanuts though, you will be fine. Just wipe down the area and wash your hands after eating. Player allergies include coconut, shellfish, grapes, cow milk, and blueberries. If you must use these ingredients, please be mindful when handing out food.
Is there a staff run meal plan?
Not at this time. You may ask around about player run meal plans though.
