Unlike the electric ones, at least you can submerge the pan in a sink full of water to clean it without invoking the wrath of the matriarch of the house...

I am really getting the hang of the Campmaster.

Fish & chips for dinner. Smiley

I so want one of those.
What will I leave behind to make room for it.
Got too many cooking options as it is.

People cook all sorts in these things and I was wondering how pastry would go for meat pies.

Thought I would try a little experiment with a sheet of puff pastry.

I cut Pampas puff pastry into rounds.

In the first lot of images I covered a trivet in foil and placed baking paper over it. I put a half tinned apricot on the pastry and sprinkled with sugar.

As you can see they actually did cook. The pastry rose and browned and they were very tasty. I was concerned with the baking paper burning and catching fire but it didn’t.

In the second lot of photos I placed a little dollop of jam and again sprinkled with sugar.

This time I did not use the baking paper.

As you can see as the pastry rose and the jam slid off except one. What it did show though is that the puff pastry certainly will rise and brown.

From here????

I need to play with the heat as the browning was not even and create things where the filling will not come off or out.

As for future pies I am thinking small turnovers or party pie size using my Texas 4 cup muffin tray may be the way to go.

It is all good fun though.

Have you considered piercing the centre half of the rounds with a fork to prevent or at least reduce the rise in the centre?

Similar to a flan base.

Or possibly stacking pastry rings on the outside of the rounds a bit like a vol-au-vent case?
