UL Baking

>"Sam, by 'dry bag' are you talking about the zip-loc 'big bags'? Those are still current."

Hi Joshua,
I do use the large dry bag for my down bag. I just hadn't found them on the Ziploc web site. They're a little on the heavy side but have worked well for me.

Read the descriptions carefully though.. these things run big (read huge).

"I just hadn't found them on the Ziploc web site"

They're there, I just can't figure out how to link directly to it.

"Read the descriptions carefully though.. these things run big (read huge)."

Yeah… no kidding… I have some (I forget which size), they're pert-near gargantuan.

Oh man, you know what would rock? I mean really rock? Cheddar cheese biscuits! Like the kind you get with your meal at a certain seafood restaurant chain.

Adapt this or a similar recipe (this is the first one I Googled) and you'd be the envy of everyone at chow time.

Yep! Yumyumyum! That would be easy to do, even with biscuit mix……

Hello All

Please check out this video of using a G.I. canteen cup for baking:

I have been trying some similar with my Caldera cone w/ MSR ti kettle. Either it's not baked all the way through or burnt on the outside. I've tried the "warm delights" which works, but they are not enough for a meal. Does anyone have any experience with this set up?

I like the idea of using rocks in the pot to minimize burning rather than water so you can get a crust on your muffins. I'm going to try this soon, but I am a bit nervous about overheating my pot and warping it. I'm going to be using an adjustable alcohol stove (FeatherFire) so I'll keep the heat really low.

I also like the idea of using muffin/cupcake aluminum cups. These things are super thin/light and they seem easier to get your baked goods out of because you can peel them off.

If you have a pot you don't care about as much, try it out at home. Then you learn the mistake curve before you use your pricey pot on the trail ;-)

awesome post…just what the doctor ordered!

also read about using silicone collapsible mug, but the retrieval of finished goods is tricky at best…roflmao
now looking for reflector type oven…multiFUNctional campfire reflector / oven
thinking tin foil and coat hangers

silicone muffin/cupcake cups with their own support :) my gf has a set and we've used it car camping before.. might have to bring them on our next backpack trip too.

I can't believe no one has posted this yet. Jon has done a TON of research on UL baking, and has developed a pretty incredible system, it seems. I haven't tried it yet (gluten issues), but his Youtube vids are pretty dope.

Heather – thanks for the shout out! BTW, I just got done baking a gluten free loaf of bread, I’ll post the video on YT tomorrow. Jon
