Glad you enjoyed it

One of my favorite things when camping... bread or those muffin mixes as a treat

[@constancemiller3753]

@Timothy Mckee mmmm, sounds good.🛣🚛

[@blackoracle69]

good to know

TV Dinners in aluminum trays intended for the oven took longer but the results were much better, IMO. Same with frozen pot pies.

[@blackoracle69]

they did taste better or you were more hungry by then and hunger is always the best sauce lol

[@ahabstar]

Only ever ate half cold peas with pearl onions in the microwave TV dinners. For those that have not figured this out, this is called smoothing it. Still cooking meals around the fire but far tastier than dumping too much boiled water in a dehydrated food pouch. And those aluminum foil dishes can be wadded up in ziplock baggie to tote trash out.

[@blackoracle69]

very true i prefer the taste of foods cooked simple and easy

[@alf3553]

I like to test cook/bake in the backyard. Helps to Figure out what you need before you head for the bush. Can take a Lot longer than you think & if you add in some bad weather you might want an alternate meal plan, but sometimes that’s the fun part.

[@blackoracle69]

correct always test and taste at home dont be out in the wayback only to find what you brought for supper is not good to eat

[@anthonymorelli67]

With age comes wisdom,a good tasty meal takes time. Thanks Blackie👍

I think we all like it when blackie say right quick. When blackie say right quick. Take your time and do it right quick. Ok. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

lol thanks

[@dukeeod1650]

One trick I learned is if you rub soap on the outside of your canteen cup, it will assist in not being scorched when using a camp fire. thanks for the awesome videos.

[@blackoracle69]

Great tip!

[@kentcostello5286]

I never thought about doing that. You keep out doing yourself on your videos and hacks. I'm going to try it out. Thank you 😊

[@blackoracle69]

the secret is go slow be sure you got heat but no flame coals is what ya want

[@Captain-Electro]

Interesting, I've heard of a Dutch oven but this is on a micro scale.

[@blackoracle69]

correct it can work with a bushpot or a coffee can as well

[@oldminer5387]

Great idea with the spacer and aluminum foil. Thank you Blackie.

[@blackoracle69]

You are so welcome!

[@jeremymoses7401]

i just got one of those Edouey camp tables you were showin us you found a while back. my canvas table of 14 years finally bought it😢. But this Edouey left me flaberghasted on what id been missing out on right out of the box; impressive piece of kit! bewildering that the light frame will hold 55lbs. glad you showed it off.

[@blackoracle69]

GLAD YOU LIKED IT i have really enjoyed mine its light and best of all it folds up small

Nice 👍 Thanks for sharing, and like the spacer idea 🙏🐺

[@blackoracle69]

No problem 👍

Me too!!

[@kenbarrett6466]

Pretty cool idea .. I used a bushpot and Sierra cup to bake a blueberry cheesecake muffin at the gathering . It was so good with my coffee

[@blackoracle69]

That is awesome!

[@swamplight79]

This is kinda off topic but not completely--- Ive had cheap aluminum foil melt or bits of it dissolve over different flames AND even as a cover over tomato- based sauce ... ... of course that is where either something acidic or the flame and/ or high heat touched it... You dont want foil to be melted or a little of it dissolved into something you are going to eat... I know most people probably know this, but its just something I am very conscious of every time I use or even think of foil and food in the same thought and I think others--- especially those that havent used foil much--- should be conscious of it as well... Im new here but this is a very good and practical YT resource. Thanks

[@jem6205]

Good video! The power of planning a head of time is awesome. Another thing that you can add is how to use the dirty aluminum foil after you are done cooking as a tool or make something out of it. I personally find myself heating the foil over the fire folding it to a scrub ball and using it like a scrubber tin ball for cleaning and wood projects

[@blackoracle69]

it will work well for that

[@TinyTitan50]

Nice! Always a treat to watch your videos.

[@blackoracle69]

thank you so much

[@gregorydigiovanni1466]

Blackie, thanks again for an awesome tip! Down and dirty, but effective and worked good for bananna bread! 1/3 cup mixed up, baked, and had some jealous camp mates! Haha Excellent video!

[@blackoracle69]

Great tip!

I just re-watched one of your first videos that showed this and now the follow up with the video today! All these years I’ve learned so much by watching your videos. Just wanted to say thanks Blackie.

[@blackoracle69]

Glad it was helpful!

[@samuelcorbin3694]

Thanks, Blackie I am going to use this for cornbread and beef stew next time.

[@blackoracle69]

Hope you enjoy

[@linedwell]

Fresh baked cup bread and a stew.. sat by a fire.. it don't get much better than that. Modern day is all tech and buzzing electric, crackling fires are much more relaxing. 👍

[@blackoracle69]

Well said!

Good tip Blackie , thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@blackoracle69]

[@jenniferbauman4802]

You can use it to collect rain water. And fill up your canteen right quick blackie. Or have more containers for rain water. Aluminum foil. Is like a trash bag . So many uses. Nice snot rocket blackie. Good video. Great advice. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

I bet blueberry muffins in that cup would sure be good. Of course some melted better poured on top wouldn’t hurt either.

[@blackoracle69]

you got it

[@jeffrichards5106]

Great tip Blackie, Thanks! I was wondering if you could bake the pre-made Pilsbury biscuits in the canteen cup? like you did on your video using the Pathfinder skillet with the spacer on your Coleman stove 👍

[@blackoracle69]

Yes you can!

I never baked in a canteen cup before but I did a lot of baking in a Dutch oven for bigger groups. I see a lot of similarity to Dutch oven baking. If you had a lid for the cup can you use it and place coals on top of the cup? Thanks for the great video

[@blackoracle69]

yep in another set i have a good lid just for that

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

I definitely am looking forward to trying this with cornbread. Couple of questions Blackie... 1) Your canteen cup is stainless steel. Is that preferred over an aluminum cup ? 2) Instead of the every day aluminum foil, could you use for the lining and cover, the heavier aluminum "pans" that goe for $2-3 that you cook a turkey etc in ? Yeah Blackie, we attended the same "school". I remember life before microwaves and instant gratification i.e. - popcorn on the stove top in the pie tin and expanding foil. There really wasn't much wrong with those days. And I'm sure you already are, but keep an extra eye open for the Alabama "Bonnie and Clyde". At a hair under 7 feet tall, I don't think he's going to be out in daylight... but who knows. Stay well !!

[@asmith7876]

You can hand down that stainless steel cup to your children. I bought one used, surplus 40 years ago, used throughout 4 years in the Army, take it on every trip to this day. No telling how old it is but it will certainly outlive me.

[@blackoracle69]

i have sued the aluminum and the stainless i like it better but thats just me.. and i have thought about lining the cup with the parchment paper for baking it should work instead of foil but foil is so useful i prefer to carry it

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

@@asmith7876 Thanks. I promised my gal we'd spend a week at Glacier National Park next year so I'll be getting a few items here and there. I'll stick with Stainless steel.

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

@@blackoracle69 I think I'll stay with aluminum as well

[@asmith7876]

@@baronedipiemonte3990 I’ll also add they are becoming rare and expensive. Apparently they only camelback water carriers nowadays, no longer issued the cup and canteen. I love mine, have several. Made many an MRE meal back in day when they were inedible, with no heaters. Good luck and have fun.

[@MAXCOBRALAZERFACE]

I bought some fish fry batter and I have a mini Cast iron pan. I’m going to try and do a better job of cooking bluegill this summer. Any suggestions?

[@blackoracle69]

yes i prefer to make a bed of coal off to the side of the main fire bring the oil up to temp first and dont be shy a bigger pan and more oil will cook better since the cool fish will lower the oil temp stop the fry action and allow the oil to soak into the fish so you want the oil at a roll and add the fish in a slow even pace as you add it to the oil hope this helps

[@performanceregina]

Great idea and explanation of how to bake… but since KZbin is a visual platform, perhaps it would be better (more informative and interesting) to actually make a video showing it being done instead of a video simply explaining how to do it?
