Cooking Over an open Fire cast iron pots  

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.

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.

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.

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.

OMG good times
I remember growing up my dad had one of those big cast iron pots
we went camping alot and he would often make a big pot of beans over the campfire in that pot

Very interesting. I never new the significance of cast iron pots and pans.

hmm.....OK...that's nice piece of information...thanks for sharing.

i don't think will actually get an opportunity to go out on a camp and cook for myself......but its good to know.

have a nice day
