As promised, after several comments asking for me to show more cooking on the Frybake, I show how to cook from scratch a quick bread, then create a nice hearty calzone in the backcountry.
This looks great! You've just about got me convinced to add a Frybake set to my list of things to get. While I still see myself going for the lighter weight and convenience of cook systems for boiling water combined with one-pot/freeze-dried/FBC meals on most trips, there's definitely times and places where having the luxury of being able to cook up "gourmet" meals with something like a Frybake would be worth it. In fact, I just splurged on an MSR WindPro II, primarily for winter use, but I also like that the stove will be able to easily support and simmer things like a Frybake in addition to other wider pans, pots, and thus be more versatile for use among a small group. I've also always wanted the speed and efficiency of a JetBoil without the weight, so I also just picked up an Olicamp XTS pot to see how that performs. I'll probably be putting both of those to the test tonight in single digits. Dang...the addition of the XTS to my cookware collection also means I'm going to have more options and thus even more hard decisions to make with gear to take on certain spring/summer/fall trips.
Oh man! That calzone looks really good!(The Fry Bake looks like a sweet piece of kit too!) I'm definitely going to try this one. Thanks so much, Devon!
EXCELLENT Brother! Guess this is what we are making this weekend. Yea we're watching all your old videos on Frybakes. Hope to get out with you soon maybe the same place as usual.
Yes the calzone! Thanks for the vid!!! BTW, Mentioned you in the Paria Outdoors survey as to how we heard about their products. They didn't even have RU-vid as an option. Had to write it in.
How do you deal with bear poking around after cooking this? Do you change clothes before bed? Are baby wipes enough to get the food scent off of fingers? Are you sleeping very far from the cooking area? New to this. Going to Canyonlands backcountry beginning November with 2 friends
Be cautious where you are cutting your food! Highly recommend not cutting anything in your lap- especially in the backcountry. Knife to the leg/crotch zone is no bueno.
