Cooking Over an open Fire cast iron pots  email this discussion to a friend?

This is good to know if you ever go camping or need to cook and you dont have power. The best pan to cook in over an open fire are Cast Iron pots and pans. They can withstand the heat and will not get ruined. So collect some wood and put it into a pit and start your fire. You can cook anything that you normally would cook over an open fire. The cast iron pots also spread the heat out evenly.

I have never done that. Where we would camp has those open bbq pits. That is as close as I have come. I'd bet those cast iron pots are expensive though. Food must come out tasting pretty good.

We have some pots that are very old and still work great. They can be very expensive but they are great pots.

i don't go camping anymore, my ex & i use to camp eons ago. i use cast iron every time i cook just about. i could have used a pit babk week before last when we had the bad ice strom. i wouldn't have gotten out i9n the ice to do it tho. i would have broke my neck.

I had to use it when we had a hurricane and lost power for 5 days. Thats how we had to eat. Not bad at all.

hello moneymommy

i couldn't agree with you more on cooking over an open fire with cast iron skillets and products like that only. and not only will the cast iron products like that will not ruin, the food always tastes so delicious when it is prepared in the cast iron cookware. my hubby was involved with the boy scouts with our two sons for two or three years and twice a year they went camping and that is about all that they cooked with when they were out camping like that was to cook with cast iron cookware. and if the electricity ever goes off at your house or wherever that you live and you have access to cook outside, then grab your cast iron skillets and cookware and run for the bbq grill with them.

take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

My son was also in the boy scouts and they always used the cast iron pots too.

when I was in Girl Scouts we once had a peach cobbler cooked over the fire, had to pile the embers on the lid, needless to say, some got into it when it was done

I have always said, peach cobbler just isn't the same without ash in it.


myLot reputation of 98/100. moneymommy (1824)   ranked 1 out of 39 in camping  4 years ago

Sounds yummy! Must of turned out good. How long did it take to cook?


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24681)  4 years ago

Hun, its been OVER 40 years since I had that... I really have no clue. I'd guess that if you went to a cookbook for a cobbler and see how long they bake it, that would be the answer - probably at least an hour since we pretty much started it before dinner and took it out after eating.
