Dinner On The Fire Pit


 
It is getting cooler and I decided to cook our supper outside. Used the fire pit. I decided at the last minute to use the iron skillets. It is easy and taste great. We had chicken and butter beans. Added a bit of bbq sauce to the chicken and made sandwiches.  


 Cooking on a fire pit is a natural way to prepare food that's been practiced for thousands of years. Here are some tips and methods for cooking on a fire pit: 

  • Use natural fuel
    The type of fuel you use can affect the taste of your food. Charcoal is best for large, bowl-shaped fire pits with vents, and wood can give food a smokier flavor. Avoid using lighter fluid.
  • Place a grill on top of your fire pit to turn it into a barbecue. 

  • Cook directly on the coals
    This traditional method uses white-hot charcoal to sear meat and create a crust. 

  • Cook corn on the cob
    You can cook corn directly on the coals, or wrap it in foil to prevent burning. You can also soak the corn in cool water for 30–60 minutes to keep the husk from burning. 

  • Cook burgers
    Burgers are a versatile option that can be customized in many ways. 

  • Make campfire nachos
    Layer tortilla chips, cheese, and your choice of toppings in a pan with a domed lid. 

  • Try other cooking methods
    Other ways to cook on a fire pit include skewering, pot cooking, frying, and spit roasting. 

  • Cook red meat
    Well-seasoned cuts of red meat like rump steak or lamb chop can create a delicious caramelized crust and smoky flavor.
