Trains made BISQUICK? | Pancakes on a SHOVEL | K-37 Kitchen

[@ivanthevaluable2559]

Petition for an easter egg in Century of Steam to be implemented; if the engine already has a hot enough fire and the player tosses a shovel-load of coal into the firebox, the shovel will instead have a pizza on it, which will then go into the firebox resulting in a slice of pepperoni shooting out of the smokestack.

[@the_darkgameryt]

i will sign

[@Alawo-]

Where do I sign?

[@robertbalazslorincz8218]

No. How about a FEATURE? Be able to make food on the engine in game for the fun of it.

[@GarrettPitts]

You know it's a serious K-37 kitchen video when hyce gets a food sponsor.

[@christopherspringer2764]

125 years? Well done, 20, and Happy birthday! What a milestone! That's an eighth of a millennium.

[@masonkuykendall]

I can't believe Hyce got sponsored by hello fresh on a k-37 kitchen episode, Is it bad that I could tell a sponsorship was coming? I've been on this site for too long... Still cool bit of trivia on pancake mix! Have a good breakfast!

[@PowerTrain611]

It's not the first time!

[@GarrettPitts]

Like poetry!

[@Hyce777]

We do make it obvious... Lol! It is the third sponsored ep of K-37 kitchen and the second by hello fresh, I will say. Lol!

[@tomstech4390]

I have an extension that skips sponsor spots... I went back to watch it to see Hyce's spin on it. I wonder which recipes could be done in K-37.

[@jesseusgrantcanales]

@@Hyce777 I have an idea for an alternate title for your cooking videos! How about? "Firebox Food?" Or "Boiler Bakery"? :) That way long as it is in the fire of a steamer, the name can fit any of your engines.

[@Anonymus-ih7yb]

When you mentioned that it is 20’s birthday this month I immediately thought of a railroad museum celebrating the birthday of a locomotive by throwing a cake into the firebox 😂

[@RAT-215]

491 also got to eat a cake that way on her 95th birthday

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

I remember watching an old documentary about how British freight crews on the LNER would do all this eating while waiting for the "high speed" passenger trains to clear the right of way. While it's most famously with Bacon and eggs, I would not be surprised if they tried to do stuff like this (though given that we are talking about BRITS here, how edible it was to anyone else is another matter entirely)

[@kristoffermangila]

I remember the episode of the UK's #TheWatercressLine where they cooked pulled pork - by stuffing it in the smokebox of a steam locomotive and letting it sit there while they're running it nearly all day!

[@oriontaylor]

Now I’m imagining an amorphous blob of beans on the scoop. Ick. 😄

[@emilioi.valdez6680]

Glad to see K-37 Kitchen come back after several months without an episode. I was starting to miss this.

[@KidarWolf]

I hope she liked her pancakes as much as she liked all the other wonderful foods you've cooked in her firebox! I was telling my dad about this series the other day, he's a steam loco nerd like me, and he said he's not sure he'd eat it from a coal fire, but from a wood burner or from starting the fire up, he thinks that sounds like good food!

[@oriontaylor]

I’ve had pizza off coal fires several times - quite a few restaurants do it (though I doubt many have an oven this size).

[@drewbarker8504]

The historical connection of Bisquick as a ready-to-go mix Ans the railroad is such a cool connection, and this brings it full circle. Also “T-19 Tavern” as a fill-in for the big K could be a thing. Although boiling mash in the firebox or with steam heat would be laborious. 😂

[@gundamwarrior]

Breakfast foods are honestly my favorite thing. You can never go wrong with breakfast foods.

[@ET_Don]

When I worked for the UP as a diesel mechanic (still had the title of Journeyman Machinist from the steam days) we used to find cans of beans or soup between a turbo and intercooler on the GE locomotives, left there by a train crew to heat up.

[@traintrackerdave9026]

Since finding and following you about six months ago, I have really enjoyed your videos on the railroad museum. A life long wannabe railroader, you help me fulfill some of that engine crew want. You are now my favorite newest nerd (said with love). Thank you and keep the videos coming.

[@buckduane1991]

My grandma’s secret to pancakes was a couple scoops of cottage cheese added to the bisquick, and sometimes a half tablespoon of sour cream. She said it’s how grandpa liked it, and he got the recipe from the train crews on the Green Bay & Western who did make hotcakes in the firebox of their steam engines. Plenty of fresh dairy around the area, and after the Great Depression it was a treat to add it to anything. Grandpa was a gandy dancer with them from 1942 to 1944, age 16 to 18.

[@railstofails1396]

happy birthday 20! 125 years, thats a good long life for any engine. give her a cake!

[@markmcculfor6113]

About to take my Mechanical Engineering Junior year finals! I miss listening to you and Kan talking about engineering!

[@CJ-jo6do]

You should try and get ahold of Gordon Ramsay to see if he's willing to stop by sometime and join you in a little loco cooking. 😅 He has been known to do fun little side quests like this.😄

[@PowerTrain611]

That would be an incredible crossover

[@Hyce777]

That'd be absolutely hilarious.

[@happiestcamel5064]

Dammit peaches, you’ve burnt the sauce

[@wesw9586]

That would be purely amazing!

[@Rocker-1234]

"WHERES THE LAMB SAUCES?!?!?" "The engine ate it chef"

[@IsaacDaBoatSloth]

K(not)-37 kitchen is my favourite KZbin series

[@railstofails1396]

I’d Love to see more of these K-37 Kitchen videos. As im the only one in my family with an interest in trains this helps get the rest of my family involved as they watch alot of cooking stuff. A best of both worlds

[@Hyce777]

It'll be a bit, but they'll be coming soon enough! Haha. Nothing filmed at the moment. So we have to wait until the August steam up.

[@nielsleenknegt5839]

In belgium we also he pigs in blankets... The pig is steamed leek or chicory and wrapped in a blanket of ham. its served in cheese sause, and warmed in the oven and usually eaten with mashed potatos. If you are not partial to the leek or chicory, blankets without pigs are good to.

[@JBF-GST-Tanda]

Talking about cooking on a steam train, I heard that some Chinese locomotives were equipped with meal reheater cabinets that're directly fed by superheated steam tapped from the boiler. Much more powerful than a microwave oven or a domestic pressure cooker

[@TheOneTrueDragonKing]

I hope to come by the Colorado Railroad Museum someday and I hope to be around when the K-37 Kitchen is fired up and serving to the general public. You should seriously consider doing this as a restaurant.

[@thomasdecker7631]

My uncle started his railroad career firing on the Canadian Northern. He told of being in the hole out in the middle of nowhere for hours on end, said it was OK as long as there was a general store where he could buy something to cook on his scoop.

[@underminerox]

491 with a moustache got me so good 🤣

[@rgsrrofnc]

Pancake Cake - with 125 candles! 🙂 We tried Hello Fresh last year when Sharon was in the hospital for a couple weeks straight. She ordered some for my folks and I to cook. We used EVERY pan in the house for a single meal. Sure they were good but wow... they did not believe in single pan meals!

[@Hyce777]

Yeah they don't advertise dishes not being a part of it... lol! Probably something they should look into.

[@patricksheary2219]

Hi Mark, this K-37 Kitchen episode was so fun! I love Bisquick pancakes and so much better when made in famous 20’s firebox! Beautiful memories of my grandma making them. Never realized the railroad connection, so cool. Learn something new everyday. I could smell them and the sausage all the way from Golden to D.C.! Mmmm. 😋 This made my day! Thank you so much Professor making for this video, and as always cheers to you!

[@Rocker-1234]

I gotta admit this turned out surprisingly well 😂😂😂 who woulda thought one of the most tempermental things you can cook in a pan would turn out as one of the best in the loco

[@rclass707]

I have cooked on the shovel quite a few times. I have also cooked mini snags and bacon on my live steam loco on my back yard railway. 😋😋😋

[@oriontaylor]

If anyone likes both good food and history, definitely find a copy of Porterfield’s book Dining By Rail. Excellent selection of the first class food that used to be available in dining cars. New York Central’s pancakes with maple syrup in the batter are amazing.

[@PowerTrain611]

Would it not be "scoopcakes" since there is in fact no pan involved?

[@Hyce777]

I suppose! Lol.

[@Dallen9]

That's actually pretty neat. I wonder how I missed the fact Bisquick came from the railroads after all these years. funny how 20 stole her bit of sausage. Happy Birthday #20.

[@Austriantrainguy]

Happy birthday 20🥳🥳! Small sotry: when I used to volunteer at the nearest museum-railroad, some friends and I were doing a shift at one of the two locos that worked on that day. One of my coworkers turned up and told us with a smile: "let´s make bread !". He had a box under his arm and in it was the yeast dough whitch he apparrently prepared at home. We slapped the dough onto the coal shovel and put it in the firebox and left it there for ca. 10 minutes, maybe less and when we pulled it out the top looked nice and brownHowever the bottom side was compledtely burned. In the end it was not so bad.

[@rdreher7380]

Sending love from 20's birthplace ❤I wish her big birthday celebration was one year ago, when I came to Denver in April. I seriously need to get to planning my next Colorado trip.

[@Locomotion_Commotion]

Hey Eric! Sad to see him go. But some good lookin’ pancakes!

[@paulw.woodring7304]

Don't turn on the blower whatever you do! You can also put a can of something wrapped in a rag up in the turret to heat (punch a hole in the lid first so it won't explode when you go to open it). Using the electric side heater on a Diesel locomotive also can work, as well as the engine oil intercooler.

[@Hyce777]

Too much blower certainly ruins it! Lol. I've got a clip in the Grilled Cheese episode where I tried to cook while under way. The draft ripped it right off the scoop.

[@paulw.woodring7304]

@@Hyce777 When I was on the Cedar Point railroad 45 years ago some of the guys tried shovel cooking. Back when TV dinners came in aluminum trays, you could cook one in less than a minute, but yeah not when the engine was working hard. We had a former B&O steam era fireman as a seasonal engineer for years, the late Ike Henry, who related a lot of steam era practices and folklore, including shovel cooking.

I lived in the Denver area for 8 months, attending and dropping out of CU Boulder. My only regret before moving back is not visiting the CO RR Museum. Beautiful machines.

Happy birthday-month 20!

[@Texaskeykeeper]

20 sitting proud as always, like she’s glad to be there to represent her once magnificent RGS.

[@notarealname6347]

Coincidentally I actually had waffles & sausage for dinner last night. So seeing you do pancakes and sausage is just pure timing. Also, I actually have a suggestion for the next cooking vid: either soup or a casserole. While the latter is just to see how possible it is, the former is definitely to see if the stories of engine crews cooking their premade soup that they put in their thermos’ actually was possible.

[@pyromaniacal13]

Happy Birthday, 20!!!

[@liljokerbro9478]

Love k-37 Kitchen. You guys should roasted potatoes and cheese next

[@PRL2204]

These are always so enjoyable to watch, and I love when the rest of the crew swing by and chit chat as well. Great content my dude, stay safe and please keep up the great work! 😁

[@baileyweaver2459]

Now we need hellofresh made in a k27

[@notarealname6347]

I had waffles with sausage for dinner last night and then this gets uploaded. Guess we all had breakfast food on the mind. Also, I have a good suggestion for the next cooking vid: either soup and/or casserole. The latter for just the hell of it, but the former to see if the stories of engine crews cooking their premade, uncooked soups in their thermos’ actually did work.

[@kholdanstaalstorm6881]

Happy birthday to 20 and a shout out to Luke for the perfect pancake fire!

[@EngineerMan106]

You’re so lucky you can film on your railroad! If you could I’d have the coolest videos. Our railroad just bought 800 ties to reconnect the main to a historic coal camp. We’ve been disconnected for at least 6 years! Let’s hope tourism is better than the past years.

[@737Garrus]

I love how "K-37 Kitchen" is typed out in Rio Grande font!

[@AppalachianMountaineer1863]

We used to burn rejected coal at my job. It was this glorious mound of red hot death it burned so hot that the polymer fibers in your clothes would start steaming, but you could wrap a potato and a steak in foil, toss it into the coals and in 5-10 minutes have a perfectly cooked steak and potato meal.

So now standard equipment on a steam engine is a cupboard of Bisquick, butter, and long-handled Hobo pie makers with the fixings!

[@wilfstor3078]

The syrup comment hit me on a personal level, since I've been sending my friends in the US syrup from my familes sugar bush Maybe I should bring a bottle to the next volunteer social at the Toronto Railway Museum whenever that is this year

[@andrewframe8046]

Oh hey! 70 also rolled out of the Baldwin shops in April, albeit in 1922.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

If I ever get a steam engine, you can bet that I'll be making pancakes in the firebox. And agreed, butter the pan just like that! I do that, and then I put extra butter on the pancakes after I flip them, then flip again and add even more butter. Doesn't even need syrup. Though, we'll frequently add shredded zucchini to our pancakes, it makes them even better.

[@bluescrew3124]

Love this!

[@TwinLitz2]

[@TrainMedia00]

The best place to serve the best pancakes followed by a K-37 kitchen and Hyce.

[@rdreher7380]

Maple syrup is not just a Canadian thing. The state tree of New York is the sugar maple. We and New England are also maple land. 20, being an Upstater by birth, deserves to have real New York made maple syrup :p

[@oriontaylor]

Some of the best maple syrup I’ve had came from just east of Watertown.

You can't just *say* that Japan has a Rio Grande Southern caboose and *refuse to elaborate,* man, come on! Details! Enquiring minds want to know. I gotta know.

[@Hyce777]

Tokyo Disney has former caboose 0409? I think that's the number. It's been heavily modified but it's genuine RGS.

[@ShadowDragon8685]

@Hyce777 this calls for a fundraiser to send the 3¾ Idiots to Tokyo to show off RGS Caboose 0409! How did it _get_ there? And why?

[@alastaircross4713]

@@Hyce777 yep, it's RGS 0409/D&RG 0510... or rather, what's left of it. According to an RGS fansite, most of the body of 0409 basically got scrapped and renewed in 1959 when it was sold to the Magic Mountain theme park in Golden along with RGS 42. The bogies/trucks, chassis and end walls are genuine RGS at least!

[@alastaircross4713]

@@ShadowDragon8685 not sure about the timeframes, but my suspicion is that it moved to Japan sometime between 1980 and (very) early 1983 during Tokyo Disneyland's construction. The RGS fansite I've looked at doesn't provide any dates for its movements beyond 1971 when it moved from Monument back to Golden for a restaurant-bar in Heritage Square. No ideas about why it was chosen, either. As to showing it off, the caboose is parked on a short section of 3' gauge track at the Western River Railroad's display station. I don't know if it would even be remotely possible to get permission to get up close to it, barring seeing it from a passing train! Definitely would be worth seeing the 3/4 Idiots do Japan. I'm heading back for my third trip later this year. Four weeks' worth of train riding, photography, and model train buying!

[@nssrrailfan]

Hope to see you at National Train Day! I love all these videos! Duluth is waiting for you! I recently need some pancake batter.

[@LynxSnowCat]

(re: the front edge of the pancake cooking through quicker than the back) When refinishing my trenching shovel (using a heat gun instead of fire this last time) I noticed that heat takes longer to penetrate the back than the mouth because of the greater thickness. I'd estimated it took five times as for the wax/oil I was using to wet onto the metal at the heel than the leading edge (by the speed the working spot moved). My workaround was to apply -an excess- more wax around the edges so that the liquid running over the surface also spread the heat more evenly; while focusing the heat towards the on transition between blade and handle. Perhaps similarly putting an excess of butter around the edges (cooling it) while keeping flames more towards the bottom/cup will help result in a more evenly cooked (if less flat) pancake?
