Would be great to hear from everyone and what type of cooking gear you carry and use. We recently purchased a Coleman Road Tripper BBQ and find it just...

If you peel the bottom 2/5 of asparagus & cook it all together including peel. Keep a few bits of asparagus, & cut up into short bits. The next day strain out the peel, then make a soup base, whisk in an egg, add a few bits of other leftovers, doesn't really matter what. Two meals out of one for littl...

My wife for the last two days has been making damper including just now, as we are out of bread, in our woodfired stove and oven in the kitchen. Perfect food for cold days. The best thing I ever did was to recover this Rayon One Fifty, woodstove, from an old house I demolished, and fully restored the stove...

got one of these from my daughter for Christmas, absolutely brilliant. 2min 30 to do a ham cheese toastie with a 1000w oven.They're $15 from Kmart. Best part is the time taken to cook, no long load on the inverter.

I came across a recipe for baked beans the other day from Nagi at "RecipeTin Eats" and thought given that tinned baked beans have all sorts of things added to them I would like to try it. According to dieticians they are very good for you. One problem, you can't buy haricot(Navy) beans any more (the be...

From MSM Is this what we will need to consider in the future when we choose our food? Carbon Footprint? Not food that is nutricious and healthy? Are they serious?

Trick is no milk just eggs. Fork slowly wisk add half melted butter. Slow cook and add more butter. Folding eggs over. Butter prevents eggs getting too hot.

I love my camp oven and they can do almost anything. BUT, lacking any form of thermostat has meant some disasters. I learned to improvise, so: 1. when baking, I found that using a trivet to stop contact with the direct heat of the base reduced burning the bottom of roasts, cakes, bread etc. 2. likewise, I...

Not too bad, at $8.85 for the piece, just did a basic brown it in the pan and then a slowish roast. Gravy from the pan with a bit of help. Left overs for lunch the next day. Might get a bit fancy the next time.

Some how it has changed, tastes the same but has the consistency of liquid nails, hard to spread and not like it used to be, not sure if I like it due to difficulty in spreading on fresh bread or toast for that matter
