Cooking in the Dirt

We are thinking about cooking on a campfire, people usually think more or stick roasting hotdogs and marshmallows on charcoal fire, or throws a barbecue on the top and cook anything from steak to chicken to fish, potatoes, corn ... and all other good things. However, there are other ways of cooking with your fireplace, this did not participate in grids or sticks. Direct heat cooking is very similar to cooking with the stove. Foodcomes into direct contact with the heat, the defects in a holding area. If the containers that pots and pans, aluminum, paper, leaves or even wet zone. There are lots of variations on this idea, but let's look at a couple.

If you happen to like Clay in an area where the soil is something that can be fun to experiment with cooking meals wrapped in some Clay The nice thing is that you cook the food buried in a betterCoal, and not worry too much heat damage to food like a potato or corn. With a potato as an example, here is what could be done.

First, quick to cook a potato in aluminum foil. Then, about an inch of Clay Pack of potatoes in the round, and was buried in the coals for about an hour. Time to crack on the pot (be careful not to burn), remove the foil during the last potato, if necessary. You should have a perfectly baked potato ready for the cycleeat immediately. If you choose this technology to use coal, but the Clay potato on top, you can expect, now, double the cooking time of about two.

You can use the same idea of a code (like a boiled egg is not cooked as we do not use water). cook an egg in this way, you will need to be higher to make a small hole in one, and then the pressure can your egg is released during cooking does not explode all over the place. Nextjust like the potato, and then buried in the embers. This time you have 20 to 30 minutes. And as before when it is at the top of the grill, you can expect to double for a time, about 40 to 45 minutes. Also, if you go with the latter technique coals placed on him, rather than bury it in, you must turn about half the cooking time.

If you have never cooked like this, especially if you have children and have never cooked in this way, I canI promise, you will need treatment. It 's amazing how fascinating the cooking when it suddenly puts a new spin on it, especially when it comes to food in the dirt.
