AUSTRALIA'S ORIGINAL AND BEST CAMP OVEN AND OUTDOOR COOKING CAMPING AND LIFESTYLE FORUM

Currently staying at the Achorage Caravan Park at Iluka, NSW.

For a long time I have been advocating that with Heat Beads cooking is no problem at all.

Today I cooked a Date & Ginger Loaf and will let the photos tell the story

Heat Beads starting up in a small chimney. Note I am using my old thirty year old Bedourie Camp Oven

Placing Heat Beads under and on the camp oven. While not in the photo I used a trivet under the camp oven so as not to starve them of oxygen

Looking pretty good with that. I used 8 Heat Beads on the bottom and 14 on top

In the van mixing up the batter

Into a small loaf tin

The loaf tin goes into the camp oven and lid on top

Well it won't cook any faster standing there watching it ;D

Out of the oven at 40 minutes. Bit too much heat on top. I didn't take into consideration the camp oven sitting in the hot sun. Three less Heat beads would have been better.

Cooling off before removing from the tin

How's that for camp oven tucker

Thanks Maggie for being my photographer :-*

Thanks for the cook-a-long. It looked tasty. :)

You're looking relaxed there Derek
It must be agreeing with you.
Tucker looks good as well.

I got an email this morning from the developer looking after our subdivision at home. At the final stage now where I have to plant a 100 odd trees and build a couple of fences so really should think about going home.

Instead booked into the park for an extra week. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Some days I feel guilty at being so relaxed :-?

Cheers

Management and all the neighbours loved it KD. All about being responsible.

If you look a bit further I posted up quite a lot of recipes cooked up in the same park using heat beads, curries, stews, apple turnovers, apricot turnovers.

Had a ball.
