Now, I know sometimes picnic baskets go wrong.
-
So I wanted to show you a few little tips
-
on how to pack the perfect picnic basket.
-
What I've got is a bunch of different storage containers.
-
In here I've got a prawn salad with asparagus and orzo
-
and it's all packed into a nice little container, as is my fruit.
-
Now, you'll see the fruit I've packed with some ice.
-
Alright, so we've got that ready, we've got that ready.
-
I've made a brownie.
-
I've just measured this and it's not quite big enough.
-
So what I'm going to do is just give myself a little treat
-
by just taking off the side there
-
and I'm going to pack it into one of these.
-
Perfect.
-
Right, so make something that is going to fit
-
into the container that you've got, like this one,
-
and then...
-
..it's not going to go anywhere.
-
OK, so...that can't get squashed. My fruit's gonna be nice and cold.
-
Oh! Deli meats. I've got just a little container here.
-
Start off with the firmer ones like the salami.
-
The mortadellas and the fresh hams that are thinly sliced,
-
we're going to put on top of those
-
because the salamis aren't going to get squashed underneath.
-
If you're going to take some waters, freeze it.
-
So I popped these in the night before.
-
They're frozen solid which means they'll act as little ice blocks
-
in my picnic basket.
-
I found this handy little container.
-
I've made a prawn salad
-
and I've got some shredded lettuce and some radishes.
-
Now, this has got a little compartment
-
so I can go ahead and clip that in there
-
and then pop it over the top there, so that's great.
-
I've got some bread, I'm going to just get some paper,
-
roll these guys up.
-
I've got these little containers here.
-
Some sundried tomatoes, some olives, some little goodies.
-
So what I do with these is I bring them over to my picnic basket
-
and I put them in lengthways so they all stack up
-
so your basket will still close, right?
-
But you do want it to pack firmly.
-
If it's too loose and there's things bouncing around in there,
-
that's not good.
-
So we've got our brownies and our fruit already packed in there.
-
I'm going to put some of these other deli items.
-
So we've got the olives and the sundried tomatoes and the fetta.
-
And then I also have one of these handy insulated bags
-
which I'm going to take with me.
-
So that's why I've got the ice in the fruit in this one.
-
So that's going to keep this one cold.
-
And then some of the frozen bottles of water
-
are going to keep this one cold.
-
So I'm going to put my prawn salad
-
with the lettuce and the radishes in here.
-
My other prawn salad with the asparagus and tomatoes
-
can go in there as well.
-
The ham can go on top.
-
I love have these meats come.
-
I don't even open them up and transport them into anything
-
'cause they're so perfect for a picnic, so they can slide in there.
-
My lettuce I'm going to put right at the back there
-
because it won't get squashed.
-
I've got a couple of apples.
-
Always put your fruit on the top of the picnic basket.
-
I've got my bread rolls.
-
I'm going to sit those on top,
-
because, again, you don't want to squash those guys.
-
Then this is a good way to transport a little bit of dressing.
-
I've got a couple of little vinaigrettes and dressings.
-
Just stick them into a little jar. Put those in there.
-
And I'll put that jar in the top there.
-
If you've got some little nuts, you want to take those,
-
you can pop those in too, and there you go.
-
So I'm going to zip this one up.
-
And that's going to stay nice and cool.
-
And this one we can squash right down.
-
So I'm all set.
-
I don't know about you, but I'm going to enjoy a nice picnic. See ya later.
