Amanda Outside: Sharing camping and hiking tips and food ideas so you can get outside more... and eat great food while you're at it!
I'm SO excited to share my love of the cooking iron in this video! Do you have one? There are so many delicious camping meal possibilities! 🤗
I use mine like a panini press for campfire grilled sandwiches. My go to is sourdough with Brie and sliced pears and cream cheese and lox with rye bread.
I love the cooking iron for grilled sandwiches! Brie is a favorite of mine too. I also love the combo of ham, mustard, and Swiss cheese. 🤗
Love my cooking iron! We use it all the time around the fire when we are RV camping :-)
It's definitely one of my favorite ways to cook over the campfire!
We saw someone else using one when we camped in the '60's. My dad couldn't rest until he found a place to buy one. Awesome cooking device!
Hi Amanda! Thank you for this video. Really love the omlette and hashbrown breakfast! Also never thought about putting brownie batter in the pie iron. Will definitely have to try!
Any chance your pie iron ebook will be available again sometime? Would love to purchase. Thanks for considering.
Thanks for making this video. We used a cooking iron several years ago on one camping trip. It was SUCH a disaster and I never ever wanted to use them again! But of course, we didn't use butter and everything stuck to it AND the food was undercooked! Here's to 2nd chances because it has been sitting in our garage collecting dust!
I hope it goes better a second time! Having a good seasoning on the cast iron helps to prevent sticking too!
season it FIRST like any cast iron cookware
Great video. I use mine to make 'pizza sandwiches '. Butter 2 pieces of bread, put pepperoni, mozzarella, and pizza sauce between the bread (butter side out). Place sandwich in iron and cook. They are my family's favorite when we are car camping.
I started using my pie irons a while ago making bannock or fry bread with great results. Just today I made a batch using whole wheat flower and adding honey to the mix after a quick cook I let the bannock cool a bit then smeared some home made blueberry jam on it. Pure perfection. There are so many different combinations you can use for your bannock recipes just let your creative mind take over. Enjoy your cooking irons
That bannock sounds delish!
We went camping this weekend and made some delicious breakfast using these cooking irons. Pre-heating the cooking irons and using a generous amount of butter was key! We are definitely making the pizza pockets on our next go. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️
The crunch on that pizza pocket was YUM!!! You have the best car camping videos on YT! We have a travel trailer that we take camping, but I still enjoy your videos so much. Happy Fall! 🤎
... Seems like there ought to be a movie made from this ... "The Woman With a Big Iron on Her Hip" .... Definitely a different piece of camp gear .. I've seen them at outfitters ,, but in over 50 years in the brush and backcountry ,, NEVER have seen anyone bring one or use one ... you really are a pioneer in showing the world of it's existence but a cookbook too ?? .. 👍 Amazing video Amanda ..
Thanks for spreading the word! I've always been a big fan. Now if you'll excuse me, now I have to go add "cooking iron" to the keyword tags on my videos. 😆
So neat! These seem great for beginners, too. Now I'm hungry lol
Yes I think they're a great way to get started cooking over the campfire!
I never thought to use my “pie irons” for omelets and pizza pockets. Great ideas! Thanks for the tips.
You are so welcome!
Oooh love all the delicious food you made with the cooking iron here! I was contemplating getting a cooking iron and yep...this video convinced me!! 😍 Just got my first cast iron skillet, trying it out ☺️
I hope you love it! The cooking iron really is so much fun! 🤗
@@amanda.outside thank you!! I have a feeling I will ☺️
Just love my irons, and my Dutch oven. Use them even at home....
Thank You for your videos as I share them to friends who now want to get some iron
We always called them mountain pie makers - loved making cherry pie!
We call those "mountain pie makers". Eggs are so good in them and bread with pie filling is a popular choice here. Pizza toppings inside bread is my favorite!
What about the hot dog cooking irons? I have two of them, a two dog that I bought and a three dog that I found at a remote camp site. They cook almost any kind of sausage better than any other method.
Bush pies are another great one. Especially when you experiment with different breads.
Wow thank you for your post I will have to get some of them
we used to call those 'pie irons' and what came out were called 'hobo pies' try phyllo dough and canned beef stew...yummy, or just PB n J sammies toasted in the iron, or just add all the S'Mores stuff encapsulated in graham crackers.... you can use them at home in your yard/garden fire pit too....
fudgy brownies WITH coconut pecan frosting.....
Phyllo and beef stew?!? Daaaaaaamn!
Wow! inspirational, educational, AmandaOutside your channel is wonderful 😊
So glad you liked this one! Thank you for commenting 🤗
Prices on those are pretty reasonable considering the quality and they should last a lifetime.
Yea they are great quality!
I left mine at a campsite and I'm still kicking myself! Hopefully it's in a good home, that's the one campsite I seem to forget things at and last time they used my cast iron grill for years haha
I just love this kind of cooking. You can really make some great grub by just be creative!! So glade I watched this video. Thanks Amanda
I just got one of these, and can't wait to try it out in the desert next month!
I have the big one. I like to get sliced sourdough round because the slices fit the big Iron. I make a single grilled cheese and cut it in half for me and my daughter. Sometimes we have that for breakfast.... shh camping rules mom don't know. 😊
Wow! Great video thank you! I just bought one of these and I'm excited to try it out this weekend! Definitely got some good ideas from your video
I need to go to storage and dig mine out. Those recipes look divine! 😊
Thank you Amanda I really enjoy your content. I think I will end up getting one of those cooking irons. Have you heard of fry bake pans I bought one and it’s a little pricey but I think it will be fun for back packing.
I wonder if you would like to do any content on one. It is light weight and you can put coals on the lid or build a stick fire on the lid.
We called those Tonka Pie Makers when I was a Campfire Girl in MN. Maybe they were made in Minnetonka, MN?
I always use bread for pizza. Really easy. Thay are fun to use.
As an Aussie…. It’s a must have when camping a Jaffle iron. They are the best similar to your one, so so good - my favourite is baked bean and cheese jaffle (White bread) and butter of course it’s delish 😊
Camp cooked jaffles are the BEST!
@@shannonkatereadsstuff delish and so easy for lunch, dinner, snack or breakfast! Drops mic 😂
I’ve Been eyeing the snow peak sandwich maker. Sorta like a panini / pie iron. I’m thinking Ruben’s or Banh mi’s or Korean Toasts.😊😅 my family had little money we would use butter, white bread and favorite pie filling for campfire pies.
Yay second like and comment. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Happy Halloween!!!!! 🎃 👻 🎃 👻 🎃 👻 🎃 👻 🎃 👻
Thank you for commenting!
Now I gotta dig out my pie iron! Yum.
Will coconut oil work in place of butter?
My sister has a dairy allergy and we're going camping this summer, stumbled upon your channel, and can't get enough of all your advice, recipes, and tricks
Country crock makes a good plant based butter. I use it for everything. Just trying to eat less dairy
OMG I’ve been using cooking irons since I was a Girl Scout but I’ve never done BROWNIES!!! Definitely doing this on our next trip. Last weekend it dropped to 30 degrees brownies would have been perfect wish I’d seen this first 😂
I love my pie iron! I bought your ebook so fast!!
Sounds great
Do you flip the cooking irons? And how long were they on the fire to cook?
We’ve been using those for decades. We most often made pies out of bread and pie filling. Called them pudgy pies
Great video Amanda camp chef is the best
Love it! Do you deal with yellow jackets much out there? Something that always frustrates me
😳😍 my face when I realized cooking iron brownie is the ultimate corner piece.
Where’d you get the pizza dough ?
I would love to know about your camp dishes…what brand are those plates please?
Thank you for spreading the gospel of the Cooking Irons! 😂
Omelets would be great with that as you showed us, just flip it over and get both sides of the omelet.
You never mention what kind of dough you use for the cooking iron pizza.
When cooking with the cooking iron do you have to flip it to cook other side? You didn’t show that with any of the recipes you made in the video? Thanks much! 😊
CampMaid makes great knock-offs, but I prefer to buy USA-made items. The Rome brands is awesome and their products are made to last. The cast iron won’t crack, they are also already seasoned and I’ve actually used them at home on my gas stove and grill. Buy Made In The USA!!!
Who knew! What great quick ideas while camping. I'll have to pick one up. You always have such great ideas. 🙂👍🔪🏕
Excellent
I like to get breaded chicken, first toast it in the iron, then make a grilled chicken parm sandwich.
Where did you get the single square one? Or can you cook two different things at once in the double? Start the hash browns and once you flip add the eggs for an omelet? I don't know but I accidentally ordered the single in the link and it's round, definitely need the square for all those sandwich recipes!
I dig your channel
A good self defence tool too
hey amanda! with the pizza pockets, do you make the dough there and then or do you prep at home then take it with you?
I usually buy pre-made dough and store it in the cooler. Then about 30 minutes before I want to cook, I will take the dough out and let it warm up to room temp so it's easier to shape.
@@amanda.outside amazing, thanks 😘
We used ours and everything stuck to it. Not enough butter and we need to work this one in I suppose.
You made eggs and potatoes, but no bacon. When you are camping bacon is required. Cooking when you are camping is fun.
Just an aside, I wonder if anyone has done youtube videos on things they can cook with an Easy Bake Oven.
I want the book, but we're vegetarian, how many of the recipes are just veggies or could easily have an equivalent? :) :)
There are 31 ideas in the ebook and at least 20 of them don't have any meat. A lot of the recipes do have dairy, butter, and/or eggs though. Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@amanda.outside your the best!
does cooking spray work okay in place of butter?
I asked for my double last Christmas and tried it out over the fire, not a very good first attempt, scorched beyond eating. I see you use a grill to cook it over the fire and that may have been my error. So It's not like a dutch oven and needs the distance as a buffer? Wondering how you tell when food is finished cooking?
Just bought the ebook for all the recipes and the answers to all these questions 😄
I have a dumb question. Can you only use it over a fire? A lot of times I go camping to a more desert type place where you can't have a fire, just a stove. These do look cool. I ended up not liking the griddle I bought, it's hard to clean.
Yea the cooking iron is for over the fire. Unfortunately when we have fire restrictions, I don't get to use it.
@@amanda.outside Another reason to get out there more often!
@@joybird30 ...all cast iron needs to be well seasoned first ..
I use mine on a camping stove all the time. Don't let fire restrictions stop you.
@@verdexj160 no way! That's awesome!! Thanks
Now I know what a cooking iron is.
🤤🤤🤤
Your the ….. Gordon Ramsey of OUTDOOR COOKING….
This is my favorite comment 😂 I love Gordon Ramsey!!
Another reason: You'll get a little more iron in your diet. 😁
First.
No. Check the seconds
I'm the only one that posted 3 mins ago or longer. Stop being jelly.
Look at the comments section and you'll see that 14 minutes ago I posted something just before you. Read the comments before and after you post because you're mistaken. Have a great day.
@@mariegarner8770 Mine was from 17 mins ago beating yours by 3 mins. Learn to math. Besides you're on drugs there's no comments whatsoever from you but those responding to my legitimate first post. Maybe you can see it but no one else can.
@@joewenzel5142 wow. Resorting to insults. Nice.
hi, Amanda, we love your channel very much and it fits our new outdoor gadgets very much. We have sent a colaboration invitation to your email. kindly check and look forward to your reply. Phoebe
How do you know how long to cook each item?
