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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
