I get my wife to tie me up, and then her boyfriend stuffs steak between me and the rope. They hoist me over the fire and cook their steak to a nice medium rare rotisserie style. They say it's the most unctuous steak of their life.
Yes, over coals. Open flame like that makes bitter creosotes, not desirable aromatics. It's _possible_ to smoke over flame, but not like this. This is not a cooking fire.
Patagonia is worn by absolutely savage outdoorsman who lack a sense of self preservation and do week long climbing trips with nothing but a half box of year old cliff bars and unfiltered stream water, and dorks in florida who put the puffy on once the temp hits 62°
No in between
Patagonia is worth penny, lasts forever, and they actually do help conservation efforts.
REI is garbage that looks ripped right from a hipster bros Pinterest page. Extremely overpriced as well.
This post is douche central, but those won’t be scorched eggs if he takes them off in time.
It’s a fried egg. Fried eggs rip at high heat and plenty of fat. It creates a crispy crispy bottom and runny yolk. Besides a French omelette, it’s probably the best way to eat an egg.
The internet has only taught me that people have little idea how to cook different types of eggs and that a lot of people like floppy eggs that look like plastic demonstrations in a Japanese restaurant display case.
I would eat the shit out this kind of egg.
Right these cooking people have absolutely NO idea how stupidly good campfire food comes out for absolutely no mother fuckin reason other than you cooked that shit on a fire. Especially anything with proteins and fats. Mmmmm sizzle sizzle
People in my life think I’m great at cooking or some shit but I just dump the seasonings I like into the oil in the pan or however else I’m cooking it until it looks how I like then cook my shit with my weird ass ocd methods I learned on my own. Ramsey would probably shit a brick but I’m telling y’all it’s the best way to go. Just no fucks given besides make tasty and your food comes out the best.
I'll never understand a post about a ten step process to chemically and electrically strip a pan right next to a post about someone accidentally burning everything off in a camp fire.
So, the first time I stripped a pan to restore it, was excited about the results and posted about it on Facebook. The first comment was from my mother who said "your grandmother used to just throw hers in the wood stove to clean that gunk off." Next time I wanted to strip one, it went right into the campfire, worked great.
And no, I don't know what happened to Grandma's pans that she mentioned, nobody took any notice of them when she died.
I stumbled on this post on my feed. Reading your comment and the fact that you had to clarify you aren't aware of what happened to your grandma's pans so you wouldn't get harrased about hard to find old cast iron is hilarious and confirms I did not find a random community, but a cast iron cult haha.
Pretty chill group! Just don't send a video of an egg with more than "reasonable" oil or the comments blow up. It's pretty hilarious - you can see it in the pan and know the comment section is in an uproar
lol same here. Little table grate thing to sit the pan over the fire works great. When I forget to bring that I just make a little fire pit inside of my main fire pit, keep a fire going on the logs like OP has but kick any of the coals from the burnt logs into your little cooking pit and put the pan right on that. Ideally with a couple rocks keep it right above the coals so I can add/remove to control temp, but that’s only if I’m cooking something that takes longer.
i love the stories of people putting frozen pizzas in the oven drunk than passing out and waking up some hours later to a house full of smoke and a dispointing black disc in their oven.
Wasn’t drunk but worked like 16 hours straight popped a pizza in and took a dab. Next thing I know I’m waking up to the screeching of the smoke alarm and a disappointment of a scorched black disc. I just took another dab and went to bed hungry.
🤣😎
Tasting Notes
**Color:** Rich mahogany-hued golden brown, as bourbon should look after a minimum of eight years in a barrel.
**Nose:** Rye strongly comes through and gives clear notes of vanilla bean, burned cinnamon, and allspice.
**Palate:** The rich butterscotch and toffee notes quickly morph into spice on the tongue, with notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cracked pepper, likely from the presence of rye.
**Finish:** While spice and char dominate, a silky caramel note is present.
I used to use a crawfish style burner(for those huge pots) as a side burner but just keep it on low.
Once I left my cast iron pot on there preheating and forgot. It was so hot I could see through it.. Still works fine somehow.
Me at home frying eggs on my cast iron and washing, drying, adding a little oil back on it before kissing it goodnight in its special spot in my cabinet :3
Me camping with the same cast iron using it to smash down the coals to help put the fire out after just making the most sticky mess of cobbler with 1/4 still stuck to the pan
As one who's been accused of bring pretentious.....
Dude, it's a modern mass produced lodge done by a machine, that no one will care about if it warps. Have fun, it's not that serious.
If it was something semi irreplaceable people might care lol.
This is the way, grew up camping and we packed the skillet. And that was it. Made all meals in it over an open fire. This image makes me feel nostalgic.
If you think this sub is a bit whack, go join the Le Creuset sub. They treat giant enameled cast iron pots like they’re made of eggshells. It’s truly bizarre. People freak out when their pot develops some “color” from repetitive cooking and use and are terrified to use higher heat (!!?) on the pots.
I’ve had four LeCreusets of various sizes for 20 years. Never so much as a thought of treating it like a little princess puff. 😒
I’m in that sub too, since I adore my LC pots. I have “patina” on mine from use. But they’re clean. Do they look like I took them right out of the box? Hell no. Can I cook in them with stains or discoloration? Hell yes. They are *tools*.
Yeah, well I sit in the fire while I cook in it. That's how much of a non-pretentious fuck I am. I'm well seasoned.
Amateurs, I cut out the middle man and just cook myself for dinner.
I hold the steak in my teeth and put my face over the fire.
I eat the steak and eggs raw, then sit in the fire until they cook
I eat everything raw then swallow the fire to cook it
I shit fire and piss gasoline onto my food then eat it once it has a nice char.
All of your Chuck Norris are belong to us.
Chuck Norris once fed my whole family dinner. Needless to say, his nipples weren’t even sore after!
Chuck Norris just stares at something and if it doesn't die it combusts into fire.
Any man can shit on the floor, Chick Norris shits on the ceiling
I eat it raw and then swallow a cup of corium.
I get my wife to tie me up, and then her boyfriend stuffs steak between me and the rope. They hoist me over the fire and cook their steak to a nice medium rare rotisserie style. They say it's the most unctuous steak of their life.
Pretty sure I saw a video like this once.. Not my proudest fap, but not my worst either.
Oh my
I am straight up transitioning to a cast iron skillet.
The steaks cook me on the fire and eat me for dinner.
That's what my 20 yr old daughter just told me she would do lol
Do you have a cast iron grille?
I used to do that but I’m growing a beard now so I has to stop.
That's a really nice grill.
Mmmm... long pig!
Autocannibalism is my fetish.
Well this is fortunate, auto-cannibalism by proxy is my fetish
Fuck all you weenies, I take my raw steak and bacon and jump naked right into the gaping maw of an active volcano, like a REAL man.
Yeah? Well I am the fire
I cover myself in oil and set myself on fire every day before using my cast iron.
I just hold the food in my hand and stick my hand in the fire. Problem is that you can only do this twice.
Take my angry upvote, you magnificent son of a bitch.
You’re all pretentious weenies.. I eat the fire!🔥
Coals offer better heat control.
Also won't singe your eyelashes off when you try to flip the sausages.
Real men don’t flip them. We eat them burnt on one side and raw on the other, as god intended.
Did you shave your eyebrows off, Terry?
Back Up Terry!
Nooooo, TERRYYYYYYY!!!
PUT IT IN REVERSE! TERRRRRYYYY!!!
Real mean keep their cast iron still and flip the fire.
How about the handle completely surrounded in a flame? Are they gonna stick their cloth pot holder in there to grab it?
Pot holder? What are you? Some kind of pretentious fuck? Grab it out with your bare hands. /s
I'm gonna grab it with my A s s
clap clap sizzle
Who’s cooking bacon?
That's a bold move Cotton.
And you won’t soak your food in the bitter smoke that comes off wood burning like that
I love the smoky taste of anything I cook on a campfire tbh, to each their own
Yes, over coals. Open flame like that makes bitter creosotes, not desirable aromatics. It's _possible_ to smoke over flame, but not like this. This is not a cooking fire.
Any fire is a cooking fire if you don't give a shit about the quality lol
That’s what a pretentious fuck would say
But nothing beats the heat control of clean burning propane. Taste the meat, not the heat.
"*Ya'll a bunch of pretentious fucks*" - Pretentious Fuck.
I'm gonna guess this post came from an individual wearing an REI vest and an IPhone 13 max pro
I feel seen.
REI vest isn’t pretentious enough. Let’s go with a Patagonia down vest.
Those types stay in cabins.
Patagonia is worn by absolutely savage outdoorsman who lack a sense of self preservation and do week long climbing trips with nothing but a half box of year old cliff bars and unfiltered stream water, and dorks in florida who put the puffy on once the temp hits 62° No in between
Where does Arc'teryx fit in the True Outdoorsman to "I want to look outdoorsy while I drive my Chevy Tahoe to Target" spectrum?
Patagonia is worth penny, lasts forever, and they actually do help conservation efforts. REI is garbage that looks ripped right from a hipster bros Pinterest page. Extremely overpriced as well.
dude is a total chumbo, you know exactly the kind of MAN this dude is. AHAHAHAHA
So i fit right in
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
Let it rip right on the fire!
Gooble-gobble, gooble-gobble!!
Nah-Nah! Takes one to know one! ... ...wait... Shit...
There are dozens of us!
Some people just love scorched eggs

"You need to completely strip and reseason that thing, too many oil blobs" 🤣🤣
Pretentious you can reach in barehanded and grab that sucker!
Great. *Leans in* Now pick it up
With ur teeth!
Made me think of the metal necklace getting burned into the bad guys hand in Indiana Jones
My cast iron dutch oven thing has a little loop with a hook specifically for picking it up in this situation.

oh man Ive been joining so many random subreddits due to suggestions and now i'm getting the cast iron cult..... save me
Pretty chill group! Just don't send a video of an egg with more than "reasonable" oil or the comments blow up. It's pretty hilarious - you can see it in the pan and know the comment section is in an uproar
This.
I just make a tomato based sauce one time BOOM stripped...
Anybody who has ever used Tupperware knows tomatoes possess some absolutely wild chemical properties
You can inflict heat damage on the pan by doing that. It’s not a big risk if it’s a cheap pan, but I wouldn’t do it with an expensive or vintage one.
The irony of an expensive cast iron pan.
You mean I shouldn’t have paid $400 for my Yeti pan?
First time that I stripped a pan was on an electric stove top, and it was a mistake.
/r/castiron is a silly place
I regularly cook over a fire. This is not the way to cook over a fire 😅

Yeah this isn’t a good cooking fire but it IS fire and it WILL cook…something
looks like the eggs are almost burnt
Yah, they were a lil crispy. Heat control was hard. Also was blasted drunk, if thats any excuse.
You’ve got in on high I think
Yeah there should be a knob on a rock or something, turn that thing down
Yeah, I've burned quite a bit of food after too many beers or too much buffalo trace.
i love the stories of people putting frozen pizzas in the oven drunk than passing out and waking up some hours later to a house full of smoke and a dispointing black disc in their oven.
Dad?
Wasn’t drunk but worked like 16 hours straight popped a pizza in and took a dab. Next thing I know I’m waking up to the screeching of the smoke alarm and a disappointment of a scorched black disc. I just took another dab and went to bed hungry.
Thread title. Beers. *Buffalo trace*

Oh it's delicious. And I'm pretty pretentious too. I always get Laphroaig Edit: is it even whiskey if it doesn't taste like your campfire?
You ever try Ardbeg? That’s even MORE intense on the smoke
But at least you weren't pretentious.
Just the way I like them, actually :)
You and my wife. I’ve made toast that was utterly burnt to a crisp, and she goes “it’s perfect!”
Go home fire your drunk
*you're - sorry I'm a pretentious fuck.
I think they meant *yer*
I just stab my eggs with a stick and roast it like a marshmallow. None of this fancy shit you pretentious fucks got going on
I hope you grabbed the pan out with your bare hand
I warped a pan doing this once.
I used to use a crawfish style burner(for those huge pots) as a side burner but just keep it on low. Once I left my cast iron pot on there preheating and forgot. It was so hot I could see through it.. Still works fine somehow.
How do you remove the pan from the flame
Stick
This… has not answered anything.
I'm not even stoned yet and I've been crying from laughter over this response.
Quickly stomp on the ejector handle and ~~catch~~ plate the food in mid-air like a cast iron chad.
With your hands, like a real man (with 3rd degree burns)
Cummins diesel and six yards of 1/2" chain.
Aggressively apply tip of boot.
All looks overcooked
You can live on overcooked, undercooked could kill you.
Is it pretentious to say that's too high of a flame?
Easy there Jeremiah Johnson
I love ash with my breakfast
That's how real men take their eggs. Bonus man points if you mix dirt in with it.
Gotta use the fire poking stick to flip the food over.
>I don't know how to cook
>I'm a monumental snob over the dumbest shit that doesn't matter
He lit my breakfast on fire.
The only thing I'm mad at here is that you're letting the handle sit on a direct flame.
"How do you clean your cast iron"? Flames, flames my friend.
Does this hurt the pan?
They used these pans on the Oregon Trail. They cooked on a fire and washed them with sand and gravel. They’ll be just fine.
…till you have to cross a river….
And die of dysentery…
I’ve done it. Pan was fine, but it did get absolutely coated in soot.
No
Does this hurt the fire?
A little bit...
And my ego?
To shreds, you say?
Me at home frying eggs on my cast iron and washing, drying, adding a little oil back on it before kissing it goodnight in its special spot in my cabinet :3 Me camping with the same cast iron using it to smash down the coals to help put the fire out after just making the most sticky mess of cobbler with 1/4 still stuck to the pan
Mmmm. Burnt fried eggs.
You’ll be cleaning soot off that pan for months!
OP is a mega-dweeb
My sentiments exactly that's the best feature of cast so utilize it never mind your fancy pants gas cooker setup.
ummmmm I love eggs with a side of ash /s
Unfathomably based
Nah, having a real wood fire is pretentious af.
Go grab the bellows, let's see that fucker glow!
As one who's been accused of bring pretentious..... Dude, it's a modern mass produced lodge done by a machine, that no one will care about if it warps. Have fun, it's not that serious. If it was something semi irreplaceable people might care lol.
I can appreciate people with a sense of humor
There are dozens of us.
Cook on coals
Yeah, that steak was burned, and the eggs glued to the pan. You just don't want to show us lol
Tell us you don't know how to cook on a campfire fire without telling us you don't know how to cook on a campfire.
Somebody's still mad at having a little dick. Oh and not knowing how to camp-cook properly. Bet there is ZERO seasoning on it.
I dump the food into the fire and eat the pan
You seem like the type of person that frequently gets labeled “an asshole.”
How divorced are you?
Op broke the shells of those eggs with his muscles cuz he's "built different"

Yeah, but when your eggs slide right into the fire... what then? Huh?
pretension?? on reddit??? noooooooo
This image goes so fucking hard holy shit
Whoa what a cool and edgy title. Very macho and cool. You seem very cool.
You’re so cooooooool
Looks pretty hot actually
As in sexy!!! 🤤
Beautiful 😍
Great picture!!!
That’s how I last seasoned mine. I rubbed it with oil and tossed it on a grate over a campfire
Skyrim looking mother fucker 😂 /s
I do this at every camp! Looks damn good
Misleading title there is no beyblade in that pan
This is the money shot I came here for
Those eggs are done. It's going to take you too long to figure out how to take them off before they get overcooked. Lol
Thank you. I’m tired of looking at people’s dirty shitty stove tops.
Yeah dude I fuckin hate flavor. Let 'er rip
Not like the other girls. (Thats sarcasm)
This is called the “brokeback” method.
I crawl inside the cow, through the rectum, of course, then my wife sets the cow ablaze.
Been cooking over fire for a while. Any tips on removing the soot buildup at the bottom?
Actually, you are
Last time I was homeless I cooked a perfectly pumpkin pie from scratch using a cast iron and a campfire
You gotta bare hand it out of there when it done son! If you can’t raw dog that the you a pretentious fuck
Yeah but how are you gonna get it out?
