Outdoor Campfire Cooking
from: Karlie BestlerCampfires have been traditionally used for cooking since man discovered fire. Since campfire outdoor cooking is such an old outdoor cooking technique, you'd think that campfire outdoor cooking would have been mastered by now. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. Campfire outdoor cooking is still as tricky as ever.
Add to that the complication that some campgrounds and parks ban campfires in some areas. If you're lucky enough to get your chance at campfire outdoor cooking, here are some tips you can use for your own safety and camp fire outdoor cooking enjoyment:
Grilling
Most campsites have onsite cooking outdoor grills, but it's always best to ask or take your own grill. Grilling is the best and simplest outdoor cooking method you can use for campfire outdoor cooking. Grilling uses direct heat, so it's best utilized for smaller cuts of meat, hamburgers, sausages, toast and barbeques. It's important to pay close attention to the food while grilling it because this method employs direct heat. Food can get burned or catch fire easily.
Roasting
Another type of campfire outdoor cooking you can cooking over an outdoor fire is roasting. Roasting is perfect for skewered meats, chicken, hotdogs, sausages and marshmallows. Using skewers, preferably metal to avoid burning, you can roast food over your campfire. In a few minutes, you should be ready to eat.
Preparing the food
The secret to successful campfire outdoor cooking is to have the food prepared before going on your trip. This helps you enjoy your time more and saves you a lot of effort from trying to cut, chop or grind your ingredients. If the food is prepared beforehand, you can start cooking as soon as the campfire is ready.
Be practical
Some things that we associate with campfire cooking may not be plausible, such as a cooking outdoor pot of soup that hangs over the flames. If set up a a cooking outdoor pot using found wood, your a cooking outdoor pot might prove to be unstable and also difficult to build. If you truly want to use things like a a cooking outdoor pot for your campfire, make sure you know the right techniques to use for safe cooking. If all else fails, use a metal rigging to secure the a cooking outdoor pot in place or just avoid it entirely.
Use ingredients that are easy to cook
Campfire outdoor cooking shouldn't take hours for just a piece of steak. Use camping and outdoor cooking recipes that are tried and tested. If you must experiment with new camping and outdoor cooking recipes, have a backup plan. Choose camping and outdoor cooking recipes that you know you will succeed with and make sure they will cook easily. Try stuffed fish, bacon wrapped steaks, buttered corn on the cob, sliced vegetables, roast beef or pork with prepared sauce and top with fresh fruits, pies or tarts.
