If Your Life Is The Pits, Try Fire Pit Cooking

Posted by Doyle Bailey for Cast Iron Cookware Shop

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.

Rome Industries has created some innovative and practical products to make your Campfire Firepit Cookout Moments Memorable.

Choose from cast iron bread bakers, hamburger grillers, popcorn makers, square and round pie irons, pizza grillers, and more.

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.

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

Cast iron cookware travels well to the back yard or to your campsite with Waffle Makers, Panini Presses, Pie Irons, Bread Bakers and Dog ‘n Brat Makers.

Bask in the warmth of your kitchen, your backyard fire pit or at your campsite with cast iron cookware and cast iron cookware camping accessories.

Use cast iron cookware and cast iron camping cookware accessories to cook your food, keep it warm with cast iron’s great heat retention and help keep family relationships warm and cozy.

Holiday Leftovers For a Cuban Sandwich

What can you do with what is left from your Holiday Festivities? Here is a delicious way to use your leftovers from the family feast.

Turkey Cuban (Serves 2)

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Dijonnaise

2 tablespoons leftover cranberry relish

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 slices good quality Italian bread

8 slices thinly sliced Swiss cheese

4 slices thinly sliced deli ham

6 slices leftover sliced turkey, white or dark meat or a combination

8 dill pickle slices

4 tablespoons Hellmann’s or Best Foods Real Mayonnaise

Preparation:

Whisk together the mayonnaise and cranberry relish in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Put the bread on a flat surface and spread each slice with some of the mixture.

Top two of the slices of bread with 1 slice of the cheese, ham,turkey another slice of the cheese and pickles (in that order).

Place the remaining bread on top, mayonnaise side down.

Heat a hot skillet

over medium heat or a panini press. Wrap a brick in heavy duty aluminum foil (if not using a panini press).

Spread 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise on the top of each sandwich and place in the skillet (if using) or in a panini press, mayonnaise side down. Place the brick on top of the sandwiches and cook until the bottom is golden brown (about 2 minutes).

Remove the brick, spread the top of the sandwiches with the remaining mayonnaise, turn over, place the brick back on top and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese has melted (about 2 minutes). Cut in half and serve warm.

(From Bobby Flay)

The brick in a cast iron skillet works but a cast iron panini sandwich maker from Rome Industries works even better.

The Holiday Meal and the Leftovers all taste better when cooked in cast iron cookware.
