If Your Life Is The Pits, Try Fire Pit Cooking

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“.
Add to Your Outdoor Cooking Enjoyment
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.

- If you shop for a dutch oven, be sure to look for one that comes with a reversible lid that functions both as a lid and when turned over is a griddle. The griddle side has a concave shape which keeps your pancakes, bacon and eggs, bacon, etc. from falling off or dripping into your coals.
- Skillets, like a Cast Iron combination deep skillet and shallow skillet/griddle is a useful addition to your castiron cook ware. The shallow skillet serves as lid, skillet and griddle.

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.

Panini Toasted Sandwich
Posted by Doyle Bailey for the Cast Iron Cookware Shop
What’s not to love about a toasty meat or fruit panini sandwich cooked over your firepit or campfire?
Rome Cast Iron Panini Press
About Panini
The panini toasted sandwich just may be one of Italy’s greatest cultural and culinary export in recent years.
It is incredibly simple to make but will excite your taste buds with its flavor.
Panini is simply the Italian name for sandwich. However
it is almost always used to refer to sandwiches that are placed in a two-sided cooking press that compresses and grills the sandwich until hot and toasted.
The Rome panini maker differs from an American style sandwich cooker or pie iron A Panini Press is not designed to crimp the bread of the sandwich. The goal is to uniformly compress the sandwich as it toasts without the ingredients or bread being trimmed by the edge of the cooker. This results of cooking in a Panini Press is a sandwich layered with a surprising variety of flavor and a layered composition.
Panini Ideas (From Rome Industries)To Get You Started:
• Ricotta, Roasted Peppers
• Basil, Mozzarella, Tomato, Balsamic Vinegar
• Eggplant Caponata, Roasted Red Peppers, Goat Cheese
• Prosciutto, Goat Cheese, Arugula
• Pesto Mayonnaise, Chicken, Red Pepper
• Ham, Mushrooms, Gruyere
• Tomato, Mozzarella, Coppa Salami
• Ham, Gruyere, Tomato
• Mozzarella, Tomato, Pancetta

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

Louisiana Cooks in Cast Iron Cookware
For as long as I can remember my Louisiana family has cooked in cast iron cookware.
Every Friday my Dad would hang a huge cast iron dutch oven on a wire between two trees and fry prodigious amounts of cat fish and french fries for family, visiting relatives (many times vacationing with us) and friends. It was really a communal meal. Since we lived on Cross Lake, Shreveport, Louisiana, we caught the catfish and dressed them ourselves. I wonder what ever happened to that cast iron pot? As an adult, I would love to still have it and would treasure it like the “Holy Grail“!
My Dad would have loved to have had a tri-pod for the Friday night fish frys and when we went camping.

Matt Pelton got it right in “The Cast Iron Chef”
“There are no words to describe the tastes of food prepared in this way (cast iron cookware); it is like a symphony of perfectly balanced flavors. There is something magical about Dutch-oven prepared food. It began as a necessity and has become a pleasurable pastime”
Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Dutch Oven cooking is not just a hobby, it is a staple in Louisiana kitchens today. Many dutch ovens are coming out of storage, out of attics, being dusted off, discovered anew and put into use. Cast iron cookware is not just big in the kitchen, it is enormously popular among camping and out door enthusiasts.
Lodge Camp Dutch Oven
Many people think of a Dutch Oven as only a type of “antique crock pot” or a slow-cooker. In Louisiana kitchens, including ours, there are four cooking methods that you can use with a cast iron dutch oven:
- Roasting (all the heat is coming from the bottom of the Dutch Oven.
- Broasting (most of the heat is coming from the bottom with a little heat on top)
- Baking (equal heat on bottom and top)
- Broiling (all of the heat is at the top. Usually used in the finishing stage or with dishes that require heavy caramelizing on the top)
Lodge Red Enamel Dutch Oven
Louisiana cooks have found that their options are almost endless whether cooking in the kitchen, at their back yard fire pit, or in the great outdoors camping.
Discover or Re-discover cast iron Cookware and you will enjoy ease in cooking, great tasting food, non-stick cookware that cleans up easily and cookware that allows you to taste the food not the cookware.

Cast Iron Cookware Helps You Get Your Pizza Right
Have you seen the commercials or the four-minute video on YouTube related to Domino’s Pizza and their reinvention? In summary Domino’s new campaign says: “We blew it”.
Focus groups and consumer surveys had revealed something that was hard to “stomach”. Their pizza stunk. Domino’s executives talked about how hard it was to hear that their pizza product “tastes like cardboard” and is worse than microwave pizza. But they admitted the truth and to committed to start over with more flavor, better crusts and cheese that doesn’t taste like discount weather caulking. Good for you, sirs! Washington politicians could learn from you. How refreshing is a quality that can be in short supply today. Honesty. Confronting a criticism head-on rather than denying it and asking for a second chance to make it right, well, that just makes me want to go out and order a Domino’s pizza. I think I will give them a little time to make the change.
In the meantime, how about this for an idea to make your own pizza, and enjoy the making as well as the eating? You can even get out of the kitchen without ordering out. Use a Rome Pizza Grill and make your pizza in your backyard fire pit, over your campfire when you get away or even over the coals in your fireplace. How much fun this could be with your children a or grandchildren!
Of course if you want a homemade pizza from your oven, nothing can beat a cast iron pre-seasoned pizza pan and it is non-stick.
