My Pie Iron Pizza Experience
Chef Jake White leaves his review on the Camp Chef Round Pie Iron.
You’re not going to believe this! I have a new toy for you that will take your fireside creations to the next level. I recently ordered my Round Cooking Iron from Camp Chef and now I take it with me on every single camping trip. It’s so fun and easy to use that I’ll even bust it out on the fire-pit in the backyard when friends are over. Its cast iron design makes it nice and durable for traveling and cooking over scolding hot coals. With proper maintenance, this product will be helping you curate sweet memories & savory delicacies for years to come.
BUT WAIT! Before we go any further, make sure you have your beverage of choice ready. Now, I'm not suggesting you mix drinking with fireside cooking. If of legal age, save the drinking for when you're finished with the fire. It’ll be well worth the wait. Not quite sure what to pair with your meal? Don’t fret! Nat Geo’s, Wine’s of the World” will “upgrade” your evening by delivering quality wines right to your door!
It’s important to keep things simple when cooking at your campsite. That’s because If you’re anything like me, you’re seeking out the best primitive & dispersed camping you can find which are sites that can often be hard to get to. What I'm trying to say is - it’s ok to CHEAT! Go buy yourself some store-bought frozen pizza dough and begin thawing it out. Buy some pepperoni. Buy canned tomatoes & make a delicious sauce and bring it all with you! Once you’ve found the ideal location, get that fire roaring and start organizing your cooking area. Open your Camp Chef Pie Iron so that the inside is exposed. Spray it down with a non-stick oil spray and place your stretched out dough inside one of the cast iron trays. Make sure you leave some dough sticking out over the sides so you can seal it later. Next, you’ll want to put your sauce and toppings inside, keeping in mind that the dough will expand so try to fill up the cavity with toppings as much as you can!
Once your pie iron pizza is loaded with toppings, stretch the sides over top one another to seal the pizza up. Latch the two ends of the round iron and swing the handles together to latch the round pie iron into place.
You’re almost finished! Next you want to gently place your camp chef pie iron near the hot coals and rotate constantly for about 10-15 minutes, depending on the strength of your fire. When the outside is golden brown and the inside is steamy, melty, and cheesy…you have arrived at the culinary campfire mecca. Pat yourself on the back while you're waiting for your pizza to cool and let your day dreams tantalize you about all the other endless possibilities and ways to use the Round Pie Iron from Camp Chef.
What sweet recipes can you come up with? Pictured below is a cinnamon sugar bread with walnuts made in the pie iron!

What did the peanut say when an almond tried to pick a fight?
Cashew Outside! heh…….heheheh…..ok, fine. It’s still funny to me.
Corny food puns aside, your kids just brought home loads of candy on Saturday night. Yes, you want them to indulge but the incessant snacking of tasty ghoul-themed confectionaries has your kids bouncing off the walls almost as fast as your head is ping-ponging trying to keep up with them! While your unconditional love may have you spread thin, have some peace of mind knowing that those Almond Joys little Joey is munching on might actually contain some nutritional value. ALRIGHT FINE - I’m stretching this one a little bit but let’s talk about another quality superfood. You probably have it in your pantry, and if not you’ve almost definitely tried them before (sorry to you nut allergen folk out there). I’m talking about almonds. Almonds are a delectably tasty tree nut that is packed with essential nutrients. Enjoy this infographic below to learn about the nutritional power of almonds. At the very least, it’ll help you keep up with those crazy kids!
