    so hear me out - spiral banana, don't take them apart because they'll be too delicate, but skewer through the center with a popsicle stick and freeze it to dip in melted chocolate and roll in nuts... I would DEFINITELY be impressed by that as dessert at a dinner party!!

      Hey Ann! LOOOVE the Cookbook!
      I just wanted to ask, in your book,
      when you are talking about the temperature (C)
      Are you talking about Celcius? Or Centigrade?
      Is Celcius and Centigrade the same thing?

Wondering if others have noticed this ? Some people talk a hundred miles an hour.

    I think if it's a gadget meant to "help" someone perform something, like the first one, you should each have a go at it. Because Ann presumably has more skill than the average person, so if a device could be used by someone less skill to accomplish the goal then it would be good. Can Dave chop the onions as well as Ann or better than the device? Having both people are different levels testing a device will give a better representation of whether it is good or not. Also, there may be some trial and error involved, how long did it take to learn how to chop onions that well vs how long would it take to learn the device and achieve the best results from it?

    I've used the garlic cutter before and it's actually very useful! You just have to do it differently than they did in the video. Rather than one bulb at a time with slow jerky pushes, you'd put all 3 in and give it fast smooth back and forth pushes with your full reach. The reason there were different sized chunks in the video was because they put them in at different times. One bulb got chopped 10 seconds, one for 5 seconds, and one for 2 seconds. Of course they're going to look different!

    It's really interesting how there are completely different campfire-bread recipe in the world. In our group I'm always in charge of the German damper version "Stockbrot", which is also out of a simple dough but with yeast and without butter or milk. The literal translation would be stickbread and as the name says you take the risen dough and wrap it around a stick, which you hold over the flames (or even better only the ember) until its done. It's actually not that easy to get a evenly cooked piece, but everyone can make their own and it's a nice midnight activity and snack :)
    And for health concerns because of the sticks: We take of the bark where the dough goes and also hold it in the flames for a bit to clean it.

Not down for crashing my truck on the way to a damper convention and fighting with a kangaroo before I melt my silicone bag of bread and lose my steak to a bird lol

    When they started describing what damper is, especially when listing the ingredients, it suddenly clicked for me: "Oh, bannock!" That's what we call it in Canada, at least.

    Damper, also known as bush bread or seedcake, is a European term that refers to bread made by Australian Aboriginals for many thousands of years. Damper is made by crushing a variety of native seeds, and sometimes nuts and roots, into a dough and then baking the dough in the coals of a fire.

      I remember damper bread being mentioned when I read The Thornbirds, when they were putting out the huge fire on Drogheda.
      The ingredients Ann and Dave used for the damper are the same as a basic American (bread) biscuit recipe (not a sweet biscuit that Americans call cookies). The damper bread out of the foil looks like a giant biscuit, even when Ann broke it open. Yum! I love biscuits! And now I'm sure I love damper, too!

      You're talking about bush bread, which is different to damper. Bush bread/seedcake was made for thousands of years by aboriginals and was often made with spinifex seeds. Damper is very specifically only referring to the type of bread made with wheat and used by stockmen because it was easy to make. As similar as they are, they aren't related, and a lot of mob would get annoyed with you if you called their seedcake, "damper".

We have to take everything (I mean EVERYTHING) down 25-50 degrees and usually it's still done before whatever the printed time was. I would try dropping your oven temp and setting the timer for ~75% of the stated baking time and then add time as necessary. I'm betting the temp is your issue based on what you're describing and my own (seemingly nuclear) oven...

    Silicone is heat safe up to 220 C/428 F. Wood, on the other hand, burns between 300-600 C; and charcoal can reach over 1000 degrees (hot enough to melt aluminum foil, if touched directly)!
    Also keep in mind that many silicone-type products include plastic fillers that can reduce their heat tolerance and make them less suitable for food/cooking. Make sure you use products as directed 😊

    • @DariusBaktash
      @DariusBaktash 2 года назад +2

      A lot of folks forget this in backcountry cooking, as well as misunderstanding heat tolerance of other materials. Non-stick pans can't be used over open flame fires for the same reason, and even titanium can warp a bit over hotter fire. Aluminum can be used for wrapping, but doesn't stay structurally sound at campfire temps.
      The best materials to date are still classic stainless steel, although titanium for some applications is fine.
