Everybody has enjoyed camping. It is the perfect time to bond with families, kids, old friends and loved ones. Many people think that it is an excellent place for children to learn how to cook. They will be very enthusiastic in learning since they do not get to camp out every day. Unlike in the real kitchen, they redundantly see their moms move around and cook.
There are plenty of campfire cooking techniques to choose from. You do not have to necessary do one cooking procedure. Just remember that food can always be cooked in different ways.
The usual campfire cooking is grilling, barbequing and using the Dutch oven. But did you know that there are unique and fun ways to cook when you are camping? See the list below and see what works for you:
1) Use empty coffee cans. Yes, coffee cans. Sounds odd? You may use an empty coffee can to cook your food. This will serve as your improvised pot.
2) Cook straight on the coals. You may cook food by placing it directly over the coal. Some food taste a lot better when cooked that way.
3) Cook using paper. This may seem out of the ordinary because you might think that paper will normally burn when used in fire. But did you know that cooking fish is possible with this cooking technique? Just keep the paper wet when you place it over the coals and it will not burn. It is possible to boil liquid too by using paper cups.
4) Using leaves. If you want to use this method, you may try cooking your meat by using large cabbage or lettuce leaves. It is very effective and will leave your meat flavourful too. Always make sure that the leaves that you are using are not toxic.
5) Cook using a rock. You may cook food on a rock surface. The heat is released from the coals to the rock surface in order to cook the food evenly.
6) Cook food inside a food. This is another rare campfire cooking method that everybody is missing. You may cook something inside while the outside food is being cooked as well. It also adds more flavour into your dish.
7) Clay cooking. If you are in an area and the soil is mostly made up of clay, you may try wrapping your food with it. It does not only lock in moisture but it also protects your food from burning.
Campfire cooking offers many possibilities. You may use a Dutch oven for your stew or cook scrambled eggs on a skillet. But the most important thing is that there are a lot of cooking options that you can try with your family and kids which they will definitely enjoy.
