Baking a Cake using a Zebra Billy Can as an Oven

[@survivalbushcraftwithemelie]

I just have to share this video 'how to pronounce Zebra'. This is the English I got taught in school ;) :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGjNcqZ-hJeGg9U

[@dutchcourage7312]

that just sounds wrong :(

[@sharkusZ]

Sounds completely right :)

[@fredmench4552]

Yea I'm pretty sure it's America that mispronounces it. Sounds perfect though no matter what you say. I like .

[@andydawson5587]

She's saying 'zebra' correctly 👍

[@jaketoombs4430]

I could listen to you talk all day! That's the cutest accent I've ever heard!

[@MrMatthewcropley]

that cake looks good, little burn never hurt anyone. Good vid Emelie!! Keep em coming!

[@charlescaprez4322]

You are amazing. I really enjoy your videos. I'm your Danish cousin who lives in Texas. Regards Chip

[@Bob814u]

At least you are out there doing something. Love your channel!!

[@rb5235]

Never seen a Zebra Billy Can before but it does look very interesting for camping. The ZBC is a little to big and heavy for backpacking but car camping would be fine. I think a small bed of coals would work well over a large flaming fire in order to control temperature inside the ZBC. I love how you seem only to be yourself and not acting as many do in front of the camera. Keep the videos coming, thanks Emelie!!

[@phantomapprentice6749]

I wish I was a cool as you Emelie, have fun.

[@agnosjr]

Well it looked good! Very good... I would eat it no problem. Thank you for sharing.

[@valoriant]

Hello from Canada! Just came across your channel Emelie, amazing videos! I love the additions of Swedish/English pronunciations. My family emigrated from Ostersund in the early 1930's and I hope to get to see Sweden soon!

[@benfranklin2450]

You already mentioned the solution . Lower flame . Another adorable video !

[@lordmarshall5239]

Again cool cooking ideas you show

[@jeremyb.1977]

I bought the same Zebra pot but have not tried baking in it yet. I still need to get the rack to put my small pan on. Thank you for sharing your first time baking with us. It always helps to watch others use items that we have not used yet. - Jeremy

[@canbasar1443]

Baking a cake in the forest? I would ve never believed that İt could be real! You blew me away. Your so adorable.

[@semco72057]

That cake is looking nice still and the oven did it's job perfectly. I may have to do some cooking in an outdoor environment one day and glad to see how it is done to bake food in an oven.

[@johntw8567]

Emilie again you show us how atempting new skills can be a rewarding and tasty. Love your willingness to atempt new skills and courage to share them. Your doing so has inspired me to quit just sitting around and to get up and get involved with life again. Thank you

[@davidcrane5984]

Thank you for making these videos. They are great fun to watch.

[@allenbanks3280]

Very good. I've always wanted to do baking in the outdoors. I also like your hat very cute

[@nomadicoasis9260]

Nice vid Emelie , I still haven't tried bushcraft baking yet. one day.

[@fumasterchu12]

That turned out pretty good, that fire was excellent. TFS!

[@trails7416]

Pretty Good for the first try 👍😆... Cake in the woods ..Will always be Good.

[@tarabravewolf3895]

What a clever idea looks great

[@sharpridgehomestead]

i didn't read all of the comments but when I have baked with mine, I think the biggest trick is building up a bed of coals and then baking so the temperature is more controlled instead of baking over an open flame. Try that. Enjoy your videos.

[@christophermckellar1352]

Another wonderful video! Thank you. I’m glad I found your channel and subscribed.

[@waldlux2hidden4u59]

That is such a good idea, to use it like a stove... Now I am going to bake much more often outside! Greets from germany berlin... Luv your Chanel! Keep up that great work!

[@michaelwilliams374]

That cake looks verry scrumptious. I love burnt pop corn & my toast on the dark side . Great vid Emelie

[@cillaloves2fish688]

That was a fine attempt baking ur cake! Loved the crunch!

[@jefierro]

Hi Emilie, I just found your channel, thanks for letting me follow you outdoor adventure, kinda jealous of your forests here in Mexico is all very brown and dry, but still love the outdoors and learning to.

[@ROE1300]

WOW! You are amazing - baking a cake in a can outdoors in the snow. I can’t even bake a cake in the oven in my kitchen. Enjoy your weekend.

[@TheNecronacht]

Love all your posts... Wish I could have you bake me a Sweet Swedish Rye Bread like my great aunt used to do for me. Best of wishes!

[@manofthetombs]

Always a pleasure watching you grow and learn. Thank you again for taking me (us) along on the adventure.

[@benjaminperet1060]

An oven in the snow ! Great video Emilie, thanks !

[@olidub]

hy emelie. here a little tip. put some stones or sand in the bottom of your can. then you have a better heat diffusion. great video!!!

[@charlescaprez4322]

Excellent video

[@JesseStLouis]

Whoah this is pretty cool

[@steve45ca]

The cake looks great considering its the first time baking. Cheers!

[@coley38772]

Just discovered your channel, watched a few of your uploads, hooked now. Lovely quirky, genuine person sharing your enjoyment of life. Instant feel good factor watching. Thanks

[@cschnitker8865]

Excellent job ms. Bean. : ) um, sorry about that Emeilie.. have watched you off and on and your really coming along with this. Chou

[@123karlw]

That looks tasty. Wish I could be there to share it with you. Your English is very good. I like your videos

[@bobferguson4415]

I wondered if the cake would bake slower and more evenly if you left the lid off the can. Just an idea. The cake looked great in the middle. More Emilie in the Swedish forest please.

[@kenneth6731]

I was having a sad rainy day, but then I watched this and it made me laugh, thank you Ms.Emelie for the sunshine :)

[@Kababoes]

Great video Emilie, and an almost perfect cake. Almost. That zebra pot can be excellent used as an oven, as you did. However for baking a cake you need a constant temperature of 180 degrees Celsius inside the oven. By putting your oven directly on the fire in your firebox, into the flames, the temp inside the oven will become too high, far over 200 Celsius. It's very hard to maintain a constant temp above a wood fire. When I use an oven above a wood fire I use my Dutch Oven and a tripod, so that I constantly can adapt the height of the oven above the fire. Hot ashes are even better than flames. I simply check the temp by sticking my bare hand just underneath the oven. If I can stand that for one whole second, the temp is alright. Pulling back quicker means too hot, if I can stand it longer it means the temp is too low. When I use my Swedish Army Mess Kit (similar use as Zebra pot) as an oven above the firebox, I prefer using a trangia burner because it provides a (correct) constant temp inside the oven. Perhaps it takes a bit longer to bake but that's fine because it allows the cake to bake well done all over, inside AND outside. HOW long it takes? Don't know. I never use a watch (even don't have one) but my experience (and learned from my grandma) is that as soon as I start smelling what I'm baking, it means it's done and begging me to get it out of the oven. It allows me to do something different until I smell delicious cake. Anyway, I love your experiments and being outdoors. Keep on going and keep on sharing. See ya, Hans

[@Caddowolf]

You are delightful! I love the way you say "Okay"! Keep making vids. You're good at it.

[@scottcarlson5507]

Nicely done as usual Emelie! Always enjoyable videos. Take/give care

[@luckyhiker3434]

Whether you try or not you are hilarious!! Nice video for sure. I am sure your school children love you.

[@jamesrobbins26]

First time making a cake like this, I think you did a pretty good job. I do like that oven idea too.

[@RowdyFisk]

Nice, I don't use one of those collapsible stoves but when doing it over a fire ring - I find that waiting for the fire to burn down to coals and using the coals to bake over works better. I like your Zebra pot, that's a cool bit of kit.

[@Veesaki]

Bravo ! Very clever !

[@Paleoman52]

Not bad for a first try! It looked quite yummy. Cool video once again, keep them coming Miss Emelie I enjoy them!

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Good to see a bit of camp cooking. Nice video Emelie.

[@survivalbushcraftwithemelie]

+Terry McGeary Thank you Terry :)

[@mistersmith158]

Lovely video; you already started sorting this out. Maybe a tad more butter on the sides, but the main thing was waiting for the fire to burn down to coals. You have a more regulated fire then, and there is less of that heat lapping onto the sides of the container. You knew visually that the sides got hotter than you wanted. A controlled level of heat is you best friend when cooking with wood. All in all, you nailed it. Well done. Its a small set up, but that is a good thing. thanks for sharing your adventures

[@axerxes3981]

Emelie.... the proof of the pudding is in the tasting. Looked like a success to me. Made meold mouth water, LOL. thanks for sharing. You did good. Ax

[@muckypupoutdoorsguy5281]

Hi from the UK. I have baked in the Bcb crusader peanut butter biscuits yum yum.

[@kevanne3230]

I did find your method very interesting and is a ust try for meThank you for this lesson Kevin NZ

[@leeburwood3073]

Another great vid emelie 👍 if you watch some of Steve’s vids on his firebox stove channel, he gives you loads of hints and tips cooking with zebra pots. He’s the one who invented the metal clips you have. He puts stones or ball bearings on the bottom so it heats better. He also has other ways to get the heat from the top as well as the bottom. Keep up the great work Lee

[@jimhardesty2012]

[@pgoessnitzer]

Very nice! I will have to try this sometime soon. Thank you for sharing!

[@Seamus3051]

Not bad for a first attempt,, cooking over an open fire is much easier to regulate when the flames have ceased and reduced to glowing coals,, it is a much more stable, and even source of heat,, keep up the learning and experimentation,, your channel is both informative and entertaining ... Cheers

[@arcticwolfoutdooradventure5426]

Wow Emelie.. All this food is amazing .. How good an idea for cake.. my kids would love that ..

[@jasonscerri]

Just subscribed to your channel, I really love your videos, you're smart, intelligent and funny! Have a great day and keep it up!

[@alistairwolfe6644]

well done on the cake looks yummy bushcraft and desert.

[@cuzinitr]

Always a pleasure Emily, the cake looked good to me. Rich

[@heathenbushcraft2981]

Another great video! You are really very entertaining to watch. Great combination humor and desire of trying new things.

[@Rosiebeatle]

Even the theme tune alone makes me smile.... I recommend some of Ken Clicks videos as he does a lot of backcountry baking and uses an emberlit too. I have never tried it but find it fascinating. Also now I got a rumbling tum....

[@cmcclellan9721]

1 slice over here please ;) looks good Emelie.

[@mikerobbins5049]

Very enjoyable as usual..

[@stephentemplar5334]

Great video Emelie. Regards Steve from the UK.

[@experience_nature_bushcraft]

Good Job!

[@williampysell2819]

I love your videos! I look forward to each and every one, so keep them coming!

[@anthonymoon6918]

God dag, hur mar du? Awesome that u just dive into these things & just go for it...ur a lot of fun to watch. Thanx again, be safe.

[@jeffsmith6441]

Excellent job!

[@lhinarizona6658]

Celebrate, Miss Emelie is back! I always love seeing your new video. A good bed of coals would have made a difference, but I am impressed with how it turned out. Great job.

[@survivalbushcraftwithemelie]

+LH in Arizona Thank you :)

[@LarryBees]

Good cake im sure next time will be better !!!

[@SCSlimBoiseID]

Well done, Emelie. Nice demo for using a billy pot as a small oven. You have a flair for imagining what can be "outside the box." That fits very well with the concept of each piece of gear having multiple uses. Very niice video - loved the snowy setting. Cheers.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Another good video Emelie, You have a great scene of humour 👍

[@tierfuehrer2]

That eggfree stuff remembered me of that I have new icecream in the freezer. Sorry I have to go now. ;)

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Excellent cook kit! Hotter fire with less flame. A couple times using it you will have it down enjoy tack

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Thanks for sharing. I like to find new ways to cook. I cook for fun but sometimes it is good to know how to cook without electricity. I have gas but in the summer time cooking outside keeps things cooler inside. Learning new ways are fun too. I have found that if separated cooking styles it is easier to regulate the temperature. A few good coals ( glows ) goes a long way. A thermometer in the lid would help at first and some foil to shield the bottom of your cake pan. Great first try and i with take your lessons and use it.

[@davidhopson2004]

Another great video thank you. As always love you my friend God Blesse you and your family

[@jimmellon4298]

Great job Emilie. Try it again without having the heat - fire- so close to the can. If you could get it to where that cake took about 25 to 30 minutes to bake, I think you would have the heat just right.

[@offgridsweden]

Awesome episode Emelie. Never thought of bakning a cake in the middle of the woods. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden

[@keitholeniacz7602]

Nice job Emilie! Food continues to cook for a few minutes when you take it out of the oven, but cake still looked good.

[@prestonshute7243]

More butter and let the fire cool a little. More of a slow cook. But a very good first try. Keep making your wonderful video, spring is coming.

[@moonbear1st]

thankyou for shareing another nice video many folk have commented anything i could say about the pot etc,so i will comment the cake looked just right i would eat the burned bits too if they are not completely charcoaled after all its still cake and cake thats a bit crunchy is always best :), i like that you bring stuff out to experiment on straight away without lots of practice too you are very adventurous that way keep them coming ...delx

[@derechbachjager8527]

Sweeter than the Cake 👍

[@jeffreyyenior9757]

Love your videos. Very honest and refreshing. Next time, let your wood burn down to hot coals. You will get a more even bake and less black smoke on your can.

[@SerineScenes]

Hi Emelie. I have really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for all the great information and the fun/ funny content. I'm trying to learn bushcraft and am planning my first overnight camping trip so it has been fun watching you do your thing. Keep up the good work and thanks again!

[@Paul.Douglas]

Not being an expert is what makes it fun to watch you ! Not just another pretty face on the internet!

[@BornRandy62]

I have the 16cm Zebra Can also . I like it for the fact you can nest the 533 Coleman stove inside with the lid

[@davidcox2264]

I think you did great for your first time.

[@IBRich62]

Nice to have a pot that can be used in more than one way.

[@TonyRiyat]

lOOKS TADTY WILL TRY IT MYSELF AS SOON AS I CAN!!

[@MusicalBox]

I see nothing wrong with that cake. They always look like this when I bake them :D

[@raygetoutdoors6151]

Emelie, let those cooking pots get a nice black patina on it. Shows your a real bushcrafty outdoor person. Saves time scrubbing too. You may want to wait till the fire turns to coals before baking, more even heat. Ray,Oklahoma

[@stevestringham1095]

i have heard they heat up more efficiently that way too.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Great project! My only suggestion would be to cook over coals. They are easier to control the temperature of. Start the fire first, then while it burns down, make the cake. Keep up the great work.👍😀 🌲🌲🔥⛺🌲🌲

[@KE4YAL]

Nice 👍 Always enjoy your videos thanks for sharing

[@MrFlyingJo]

I like it👍

[@ethanblair9308]

You can buy small baking rubber cupcake molds and add your batter to the molds and put a small amount of water in the pot and steam your cake. It should keep your cake from burning and it will be moist as well.

[@roseironworks1393]

Hey Emily nice job, love the videos, those zebra cans are really great, xx

[@MattiasHolger]

Trevlig film som vanligt Emelie. Bra jobbat med kakan. :)

[@pmessinger]

I had thought it would be nice for you to bake me a cake. This isn't really what I had in mind, but I guess it will do for now. Looks tasty, the cake, too. ;-)

[@paulw1824]

Nice video Emelie ! You mix cooking with the outdoors very nicely . This mixture always makes me HUNGRY 😬 I look forward to your next video . Watching you is a pleasure as always 😉

[@lorddragoncanoealexander5172]

Awesome E ! Good first try ! And practice makes perfect , you already fig out how to improve! Also you get a more even bake with some rocks in the bottom , go to firebox stoves and watch the ways Steve uses this pot to bake , I have the same 16 cm pot and love it , a whole chicken can fit ,
