What travels well, cooks evenly, cleans up easily and is just about the perfect cookware for campfire and outdoor cooking?snoopy-camping_roasting_marshmellow_smaller2The answer: cast iron cookware. All you need is a campfire with a few hot coals and anyone can cook in the great outdoors or at your backyard fire pit. You do not have a be a rocket scientist or a professional chef.

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED:

Really, all you need is two pieces.

  1. A Dutch Oven (also called camp ovens)

2. A skillet with a lid. Many outdoor     cooks consider other pieces necessary but these two are adequate to get you started.

SOME BUYING TIPS:

  • 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. This multi-use cooker is a dutch oven, saute pan and fryer, all in one.  If you want just one cast iron cookware piece for your camping and outdoor cooking, this might just be what you are looking for.

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?Family_drawing_rs 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.

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.

Cast Iron Cookware Shop and Making the Best of Times

September 2nd, 2009

In a sense what Dickens wrote about the “best of times and the worst of times” is true of all times. With so many people having lost their homes by foreclosure, so many who have lost their jobs, so many whose savings and retirement funds have been decimated it is easy to focus on the bad times. However, with the proper frame of mind, we might just be able to see some good that can come out of all this.

1. With trips scaled down into a local “staycation“, we can have time to visit local museums, historical sites, or enjoy a local State Park, National Park or a campground. There may even be time to build the fire pit for our patio or back yard and enjoy grilling burgers,  s’mores, hot dog or marshmallow roasts with our families. What a marvelous way to create lasting memories.

2. This can be a time to stop stressing out about the things we do not have and be grateful for all the things we do have. In our family we go without buying more “stuff“, Who can forget George Carlyn’s stand up routine about “stuff“?

3. Spending less and saving more gives us a sense of control. Why use credit cards to spend money we do not have to buy things we do not need to impress people we do not know?

4. Who has to have Starbucks when you can discover anew that regular old coffee tastes pretty good? I can even get a senior coffee at McDonalds for 27 cents!

5. Enjoy a movie night at home with family and friends. Pop corn and watch a DVD and save big bucks. I still have 2 payments to make on theater popcorn.

6. Instead of shopping for clothes, have a clothes swapping time with friends especially those who have children the age of yours.

7.Skip the cost of eating out and fire up the grill in the patio or back yard.

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.

When you take along these fun options from Rome Industries your kids or grandchildren will never ask “Are we having fun yet“? How I wish we would have had these when our kids were still at home. We have a second chance however and use them with our grandchildren. Our kids used to say about some of our trips ‘the Manson family on vacation”. Maybe that is why I laugh but nervously at Chevy Chase’s antics when he traveled with his family in his classic movies.
