Backpacking Pancakes with the Jetboil Summit Skillet

[@jamesparnell9893]

Great video. Thank you for showing how long the cook time was as well as how much fuel you used at the end! 👍

[@michaeldkmv]

The best complement that I can give you guys is that I want to go outdoors, find a beautiful spot, and cook me some pancakes! Great job!

[@spacetakers6062]

This is just about the best compliment we could wish to receive! Glad we were able to provide some inspiration.

I've made pancakes while backpacking a few times, and love doing it. Bisquick Shake N Pour is very convenient. I find the small container perfect for one person, and the big one for two. You said it's very important to measure out the water, I don't. Instead I practice making pancakes without measuring, adding a little bit of water at a time till it gets to the right consistency. I've been cooking them in a steel pot, in lard, no problems with sticking as long as you slosh it around before flipping. Lard has the best calories per weight, like many fats. The whole thing is very worth a practice run at home.

Why do I watch these videos?! Now want pancakes … 😁

[@chadsmith7075]

good tip about the measuring of water. really was thrown under bus on that first pancake lol

[@The738james]

nice one

[@Jdb63]

Good vibes right off the bat! Looking forward to more content

Awesome 👏 I’m planning on a fondue 🫕 in my jet boil

[@spacetakers6062]

Never heard of that of that one, let me know how it goes!

[@slicingsasquatch]

Subscribed and supported👌 cool idea. My breakfast go to, is oats, with dehydrated banana chips and craisins. But i do like the ease of your pancake recipe🙂.

[@spacetakers6062]

Sounds good! I’ll have to add that to the menu for next trip.

[@slicingsasquatch]

@@spacetakers6062 it's a pretty simple meal. But i saw that your body doesn't handle oats well, which does make it tricky. Always good to see other peoples lightweight camping meals. Enjoy your travels👍

[@spacetakers6062]

@@slicingsasquatch Same to you!

I literally paid $20 AUD (about $15 USD) for a 24cm Tefal pan and used a screwdriver to remove the handle for later quick re-installation on the trail. This thing costs $90 AUD directly from Jetboil, plus $10 shipping, putting it at $100 AUD (approx $77 USD) for a skillet that's both smaller and no better in its cooking abilities than a $20 Tefal from the supermarket. The folding handle is convenient I guess, but the price is horrendous for what it is...

[@spacetakers6062]

Bummer, it's only $44.95 new from the retailer in the US. Glad you found another way that works for you! Happy cooking!

[@bobdepradines1773]

Just grabbed one today , great idea 💡

[@spacetakers6062]

Awesome! You won’t be disappointed.

[@Simplefng]

@@spacetakers6062 such a great idea. I've seen it all from a full English to the standard grilled cheese.

[@spacetakers6062]

@@Simplefng dang! A full English?? That might have to be next...

[@travelclimb]

Great vid! Just got it and am super excited to make some pancakes, and cook some fish. Come explore WA if you guys have time this summer!

[@spacetakers6062]

Thanks! Washington is definitely on our short list of places to visit. This year might just be the year!

[@Leadmeoutdoors]

Great vid, New sub here. I couldn’t help but notice the San G/Dry Lake footage at the beginning. Are you local to the area?

[@spacetakers6062]

Thanks Matthew, keen eye! We were for a few years but just relocated to NM!

[@jtap484]

I’m going to try this in the summer!

[@snappyturtle1018]

Awesome video! definitely gonna try this. You earned yourself a new sub

[@XJarhead360]

Caveat: The heat is not distributed evenly on the pot as Jetboil claims. You can see that in this video where the center of the pancake is almost charred. I tried making a grilled cheese with tomatoes as shown in the Jetboil video that advertises the pan. Yep, the center of the bread was almost charred. You definitely need to keep lifting whatever you are cooking to make sure it doesn't burn. YMMV.

[@jonathanambler]

Goes the pan holding up

[@spacetakers6062]

Pan is still holding up great! Just got back from taking it on a trip to Yosemite and had no issues despite the cold.

I like pancakes 🥞

is this the mini or micro

[@spacetakers6062]

This is the mini

[@robalan57]

They are the same if you use the frying pan.

The young barista approves! 🥞

[@barak_ahtha]

No oil use at at?

[@spacetakers6062]

None!

[@patrickploenzke489]

Did you eat that Teflon that is scraped off pan?

[@spacetakers6062]

And now my stomach is bulletproof! Haha, that shot is just pancake residue on the pan.

[@surfinwaves4769]

And the pan is not Teflon coated, it’s ceramic if memory serves.

[@spacetakers6062]

@@surfinwaves4769 You are absolutely right. Thanks!

[@surfinwaves4769]

@@spacetakers6062 also meant to say thanks for the inspiration to get off the beaten track! Just expanded my jetboil to include pan support and summit skillet after seeing this! Do you use any oil/butter for any of your summit skillet cooking?

[@spacetakers6062]

@@surfinwaves4769 So glad to hear! This pan has upgraded my backpacking meals tremendously. I've used it with and without oil for pancakes and powdered eggs. Works great either way.

pre-mix your pancakes and store them in a ketchup bottle
