Cook In Cast Iron Tonight on Your Firepit

Who does not feel their life is the pits occasionally? It is possible that something as simple as cooking a meal at your campsite or in your back yard could be a solution. Camp cooking can get the endorphins flowing in the brain. These peptides can possibly  help you by trading in “the pits” for a

“fire pit“.

Why Is Fire Pit Cooking Such a Natural Rush? It could be because:

• to build a firepit, if you do not have one, is a fun and easy project for the entire family.
• to cook over a firepit taps in to our pioneer spirit and helps remove the toxins of our lives that may be stuck on fast forward.
• to experiment with panini sandwiches, dog’brat, camp pizza creates lasting memories for all. Your children will tell their children about the experience and hopefully repeat it.
• to share the camp cooking experience is educational and fun for our children
• to eat a meal cooked outdoors is like a “communion service” and the food has a special flavor.
• to follow up the camp meal with s’mores is nostalgic, and notoriously delicious.

Cast Iron Cookware Will Warm Your Food and Your Family

Posted by Doyle Bailey for The Cast Iron Cookware Shop

Where is the center of warmth in your home? In our home it would have to be the kitchen. My wife and I both enjoy cooking and I do not even mind the clean-up afterward. There is even a special stool where the younger grandchildren stand to help their “Nona” cook.There are rocking chairs in our kitchen for friends to rock and chat with us. There is a lot of warmth and it does not all come from the oven or cook top.

We have a large collection of cast iron cookware and I suppose these grandchildren will teach their children to cook using the same dutch ovens, roasters, skillets, cornbread pans and casseroles.

Our "Family" of Cast Iron Cookware

Sometimes we take the fun and warmth outside to a firepit where we roast hot dogs, marshmallows, S’mores.

Camp Cooking Is Fun!

There are some really good reasons to get to the great outdoors and camp.

Here are some:

• the soul deadening pace of modern life. Even if you win the rat race you are still a “rat”.
• the ceaseless activity that drains our vitality.
• being harried and hassled by life’s demands
• being stuck on fast forward and running on empty
• add your reasons and comment below

Some Reasons to Go Camping:

• camping is fun and family friendly
  

  Camping is Cool

• camping allows you to be who you are and want to be in a place you want to be. Tension is who you think (or others think) you should be. Relaxation is who you are (Chinese Proverb).
• camping is still affordable
• fun activities while you camp offer numerous possibilities. Use your imagination

Camping has always been fun for me and my family.  However, it was always camping with a purpose.

For example:

• Camping in Southern Argentina in the (pre-cordillera mountains) of the Andes. Fishing was unbelievable for trout and salmon.
• Camping at  Toledo Bend (between Louisiana and Texas) for bass, white perch and bream fishing.
• Camping with Royal Ambassadors (like Boy Scouts) to teach woodcraft skills.
• Motorcycle Camping with a trip from Louisiana to the Florida keys (3,500 miles round trip) was a blast. I could not have made it without a tube of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste that my wife gave me!
• Backyard camping for fun activities with children and grandchildren. Roasting franks, marshmallows and even popping corn with a campfire is irresistible for children of all ages.

Rome Industries has made available some excellent cast iron camping cookware and accessories to make camping a blast.

S’More Fun for the Holidays

Add S’More fun to your Holidays with Rome’s Original S’More Maker.

Jazz-up your fun around your campfire, backyard firepit, or even inside with your fireplace. There is nothing like the taste of S’Mores and you will always want seconds. It is obvious how they got the name S’Mores.

S'More Maker from Rome Industries

The recipe for Campfire  S’Mores is simple.

• start with a graham cracker in the each of the three compartments of the S’More Maker. Use two or more S’More Makers for your troop or larger families.
• place a couple of semi-sweet chocolate squares on the graham cracker.
• Next place a large marshmallow on the chocolate. Miniature marshmallow work great or if you use a large marshmallow, the S’More Maker is easier to close if you cut the marshmallow in half and place the two halves side by side.
• Place another graham cracker on top of your marshmallows and close the S’More Maker securing it with the locking ring.

No more scorched or flaming torch marshmallows. No more marshmallows covered with ashes from dropping off a wire coat hanger. The 29 inch long handle remains cool to the touch so you do not need an oven mitt or glove.

Heated over your campfire, firepit or fireplace, you will turn out a delicious treat for the young and young at heart.

S'More Maker

OTHER S’MORE RECIPES FROM ROME:

• Merry Berry Use one large marshmallow and poke a hole in the center and push in a fresh strawberry or your favorite jam.
• Peanut Butter Cup Under the marshmallow, place a mini peanut butter cup.
• Whip It Up Cookies Use marshmallow whip in place of a marshmallow. Use 2 cookies in the place of the graham crackers.
• Hawaiian S’Mores Over and under the marshmallow place a cube of canned pineapple.
• Nutty Peanut Butter Spread chunky peanut butter on a graham cracker, add a chocolate bar square and top with a marshmallow.
• Trail Mix Use trail mix and mini marshmallows.
• Banana and More Add a slice of banana under and over the marshmallow.
• You Must Be Nuts Push peanuts into marshmallow before placing it between the graham crackers. It also works with chocolate chips, raisins, M & M’s, caramel or chocolate kisses.

Experiment, use your imagination and share your creation by commenting below. Children will love to make their own yummy S’mores and they can do so safely. But what ever you do, have S’More fun for the Holidays.

WHAT IS A PIE IRON?

A pie iron is a way to cook grilled cheese sandwiches and fruit pies over a campfire. Place the food in the case formed by the two cast iron compartments that hook together with a hinge forming the cooking compartment. Use two pieces of buttered bread with cheese or a fruit filling. Metal rods with wood handles extend from the castings so the user can easily handle the pie iron over a campfire. A few minutes over the heat and a perfectly toasted sandwich or pie emerges from the cooker. Kids will love to experiment with different fillings and will delight to see the hot, toasty sandwiches that emerge from the pie iron. Best of all they cooked it themselves.
