I love how you’ve gone from never cooking to making chocolate chip cookies using coconut oil in a cast iron skillet! You are so perfectly in your element and it is awesome to see you so content.
You was rite we all need cookies 🍪 👍😋👍
Tip for cookies..... if you can find a small oven save plate and a oven save trivit so cookies don't set on the bottom with direct heat they will stop.burning. Cast iron, trivit, then small plate. Cast iron becomes a simple oven. Then options are unlimited.
thats the way i do pies over the coals
😮
The flat skillet is called a 'GRIDDLE',
MY BROTHA...YOU CAN GRILL ON THE GRIDDLE...PANCAKES, PATTY MELTS, GRILLED CHEESE, TUNA MELTS, TOAST..WHATEVER...
BUY SOME COOKIES, OATMEAL ONLY , TO COOK FOR COUZIN CRUZ..
SPREAD ON SOME PEANUT BUTTER, AND HE'LL NEVER LEAVE YOUR SIDE...
Those are called “sticky backs” and we use them in the electrical trade. I assure you they won’t stay very long. They will separate from the plastic part. Another idea is to use the sealer you used on the fan to hold it down. Just my two cents
a dab of silicone on the side of the tabs will hold longer. But i agree the sticky backs by itself won't hold. As soon as the glues bakes in the sun it's a wrap :)
With the thin sticky back between the 3M tape and the plastic zip-tie mount, it will still fail -- better to remove the thin stuff and just use the 3M to adhere it.
When all else fails or is likely to, I use Gorilla brand duct tape!
❌❌❌If you put a wire rack in your pan that'll raise the cookies off the bottom and act like a real oven and your cookies will turn out awesome !!! Skål 🍺🍺🍺
Ooooohhhhhhj GOOD IDEA
Skål! 🍪
i never thought of that, is it ok if i borrow that idea? it works when baking a pie in the dutch oven so it should work for cookies
Shit wrote the same idea before reading this....
If no wire rack available...crinkle up some aluminum foil to create ridges...same effect.
Been following chrome for about a year if not more, and all I have to say is this mans spirit and love for everything is uplifting. Thank you for being you and always being true with us about everything, much love bro!
You can get a chain mail scrubbie at Lee Valley that is amazing for cleaning up cast iron cookware.
I have a chain scrubbie and it works so well.
that flat pan is called a gridle, i have a pan from LODGE co. that works like a dutch oven, its 2 - n - 1 pans, that is how i make cookies over coals except i slice them and set in pan for 8 min. then remove from coals and wait for 12 min., thats as long as i can wait, i also undo the whole roll of dough and make one giant cookie and cut into pie shape slices, i was wondering when you would fasten your solar cables down to prevent wear and tear, nough rambling , thank you for taking me along
They call that a Dutch oven.
Cast iron is all I ever will cook with.
I thought Dutch Oven was something else 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My Dutch oven is cast aluminium with a Pyrex lid.
I don't mind sharing a parking lot, but is it just me? Dude had the entire open lot and he had to park right on your butt?
Hey Chrome & Cruz:) Chrome if the 3m tape doesn't hold up on your roof clips, next time your by a Auto Parts store pick up a roll of auto trim/molding tape. 3m also makes it and has the same red protective peal off but with exterior adhesive. Enjoy your videos that makes this old man feel young at heart. Safe travels!
Can't wait to try cookies in my cast iron. Spending the summer in the sierras near Donner lake
My grandmother used to cook biscuits (American biscuits more like scones) on a fire in cast iron when we camped, and she would turn them over halfway. Maybe try flipping your cookies.
You might consider removing the original sticky pad entirely first. The original will probably separate from the plastic piece first.
When looking the video. I was shouting remove the indoor sticky pad first, but he did not hear me!
@@ewakraft5770 Same.
I use to cook in an iron pan and loved it. Will try to bring it back, still the pans.
I'm here for the ... Cutey - Pie Cruz & the Cookies !!! : )
First bond between plastic and tape is indoor use so it will let go. Use only Vhb tape, but don't touch the sticky stuff.
Hy Chrome I watch you all the time just to hear your giggle which always always makes me laugh and smile Thank you for coming to us from your native land Canada maybe some day I will be your neighbor
To each his own, but when you slammed ALL that relish on the bun. . .the look of horror on my face! 🤣 Then when you put the guacamole on there (which I personally like), WITH the relish (I'm not such a fan). . .double horrified!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 Which then made me laugh. So, thank you. 😊
I thought the same thing! I 🤣😂🤣😂🤣YUCK! He likes it so that's all that matters I guess!😂🤣😂🤣😂
It WAS a weird combo....probably why he likes it. Lol!
Keepin it weird.
Love this...fantastic to see someone livin and lovin their life...and yes cast iron is the best.
This RUclips episode brought to you by Grandpa Chromes Cookies.
Grandpa? Does Danika know this?
Lol 😂
I love your cookie baking process! I have a Cast iron skillet myself and love how it works. It's multi purpose in so many ways. You can try cutting the skillet heating time down to 5 minutes instead? Because it retains heat really well it may help bake the "bottoms" to be more brown? Wow! The freedom of van life definitely helps you become creative and resourceful. Many blessings to you and Cruz on your journey and travels.
Find a round wire rack for a can cooker they are $10 on Amazon or $12 at cabelas anyways put that in the pan tin foil on the the your cover just like baking in a oven cookies won't burn anymore.
Your food looks delicious. Your videos always make me smile!!!
Have you ever looked at the Coleman folding oven? You use it on top of your stove and it folds down flat. You could roast a chicken or make biscuits in that thing.
It's so true, the little additions to your van can make a world of difference!
Hey chrome, cast iron is awesome. I’ll have to do the cookies. Oh, check out Kent Rollins for cast iron tips and recipes.
Not to mention Kent survival!
if you could raise the inside of your pan, like a metal pie plate on top of rocks something else metal that won't burn, it will help with the burning of the bottoms of your cookie.... regardless,,, I love you videos, your advice and adventures with Cruz!
I'm glad I found your channel!
As I was taught in the army pay attention to the minor details as it makes a difference in the overall picture. Van is looking nice.Thought I belched alot 🤣🤣🤣🤣 now that's a burger 😎.safe journey boys 💚
Aluminum foil, must have, so many possibilities. Especially with a fire. Cooking, storing food and tight seal on them cookies. 😎
Nice looking burger!
The rubber trim bits are for dealing with the wind scream when blasting down the highway, Enjoy your tour Chrome, don't have to say the same to Cruz, he's cool ALWAYS!!
We always love "COOKING with Chrome"
About the burned cookie bottoms. Get a grater or clean 80 grit sand paper and rub the cookie bottoms across it until the darkness goes away. That will remove the bitterness and burned taste. I learned this while working in a resort kitchen a couple of years ago.
Keep doing what you do brother.
Ur hoodie is dope. Where can I find one? Safe travels, my dude.
I love cooking in cast iron, and have passed that on to my sons. I am down sizing to live in an RV. Cast iron stays!
For your cookies use a piece of chicken cage cloth to raise your cookies from the bottom of your ban so you have air surrounding all the baked items
With piece aluminum foils
A little dab of “clear silicon” on those tabs👍!!! Enjoying your videos chrome! Great work and stay awesome.
Love the cooking vids in the van! Thanks for sharing!
Check out the Coleman Folding Camp Oven! Set it on your Colman stove and you can bake muffins, cookies, Cornish hen, and so much more. I added a set of pans made for an electric toaster oven to my setup. Also added a pizza stone made for toaster ovens, too. Ideal for a fresh baked personal size pizza! When not in use the oven folds into a compact unit that's easy to store. Well worth the investment and the space for the versatility it will add to your kitchen.
Absolutely stunning scenery!! Cruzy Bear is asking where his oatmeal (non chocolate) cookies are too!
Best tip for cooking on a gas BBQ or portable stove is upside down cake tin to lift the cookies off the frame. They will not burn and you don’t need to turn off the gas.
Got me drooling on that burger! Lol on the cookies! Nothing beats cast iron. Love the pic on the hoodie!! 😉🇨🇦
Lmfao when the music ques after the first bite of your burger. The level of satisfaction was next level hahaha
Some burger!! Where did you get the social distancing shirt, I really would love one??
Hey SUBSCRIBER sent it to me as a gift.
I have two iron skillets and one is 87 years old , it belonged to my grandmother. The other one is about 50. Cast iron is very collectible and restorable.
Chrome, the next time you get glasses, look into no-line bifocals...then you only need one pair.
You may be able to make cookies on that griddle alone. Experimenting is what to do.
Chrome is a “hands on” man! You go Chrome!🇺🇸👍🤠🙏✝️
Learn something new every time I come to hang out with you. Cast iron is the best. That’s what my Gma used and we have them too! Stay safe & Be well! @Dawnoflife always gives you props.
PIZZA with 2 iron skilled. Put the plain dough in the skilled and second hot over it. When half done flipp the dough. Put the top skilled again on second flame and heat it really hot, while u put all the toppings on the dough now. Then second skilled back until dough is done. Or
◇◇Chrome style pizza ◇◇
2 tortillas in pan and toppings on top and really hot second skilled on top. Probably finished after 3 to 5 minutes.
You can get pretty lit if you down a shot of your favorite alcoholic beverage every time Chrome says he’s “so stoked “! 😂😂 Love it!
If the little clips do come off, try scraping off the white sticky stuff that came on them, and putting them back with only the double sided exterior tape, I have actually put a strip of molding back on my car with that stuff and so far it's still there after several years
chrome toaster ovens are small and electric. you can do so much in it. maybe on your wishlistyouput atoaster oven..... i absolutely love mine, so much so that i dont even use my regular oven anymore. with all the extra room you have room to store it whn mot inuse.
Toaster oven’s have a massive power draw that I do not need in my van. They’re very power-hungry
Chrome…the thin Cast Iron pan is called a comal (coh-mawl) they are primarily used for warming up tortilla but it can also be used for melting cheese and can also can be used for heating up meats as the cheese is melted and the tortillas are warming…well hell, I see that Old Gringo beat me to the draw - LOL! Oh well, that what I get for not seeing that sooner. "Scooter" in East Texas...
You have created a almost Dutch oven I do this camping if you place the cookies on a smaller heat resistant pan be perfect 😉
Also check Amazon I picked up a Dutch oven thermometer I can do pizza bake,You can get creative 😊
Those roof top racks look way cleaner with the rubber insert. Nicely done. Coming in 2021! Direct from VanCity VanLife! Cooking with Chrome! The Cast Iron Chef! #castironcookies
Making cookies In Chromes bedroom/kitchen, interesting. I hope you didn’t burn the bottoms of all of them
Nice Cookies in a pan! Suggestion when u at half time baking, heat the top again on the second stove and turn the cookies with the spatula, then put the top back. There finished in less time and get not burned. With ur ironpan baking u can open and check the cookies annytime, no problem.
I just purchased my first cast iron pan . So it’s so interesting thAt you’d do a cooking video using one. I also purchased a Omni pan that’s is made for baking on a stove. It’s a bit expensive but having baking options is worth the price. Thanks for sharing 🎈🎈🎈
AWESOME looking cookies! I just posted a cookie making video in my RV oven. Yours looked much yummier!!
Your flat pan is a griddle. You might try finding a circular grate that fits in your skillet and put your cookie dough on that, it would prevent your cookies from getting burnt on the bottom.
What an ingenious idea, for the "baked" cookies!!!!
Well done! If you can find a tinfoil pie plate or a tin pie plate, put it on the bottom of your cast iron skillet, put your cookies on that when you have heat it up, and it should not burn as easily.
Like I've suggested , I believe a covered skillet with a tight fitting cover (one that is the cover for that pan) would work best to use as an "oven" . But I can only suggest. The griddle you used as a topper would let heat out because its not made to fit that pan. Just trying to help -
In South Texas the flat skillet it's called a Comal. I believe it is Spanish for griddle. Typically used for cooking corn tortillas or softening corn tortillas with some oil for crunchy tacos
I wonder what would happen if you flipped the cookies. That would totally change things
Can't wait to try cookies in my skillet. Cast iron is the best! All I use... Thanks, Chrome!
Hey Chrome. How about trying a small rack in the bottom of the pan, then lay the cookies on the rack and the griddle on the top. Do it all the same way, except add a rack under the cookies, maybe they won't get so dark. Just a thought. Love you and Cruz. Be Safe
Wherever you put those sticky things make sure to use some lacquer thinner on the paint to take any contaminants off it will stick way better😊👍
I sure liked the size of that bean burger. They put potatoes in tacos, why not on your burger. Made me hungry. I enjoy watching cooking in a van, in an RV and cooking outside. I think I will try cookies in the skillet. My griddle gets the most workout with toast, grilled sandwiches, quesadillas, and more! All of my cast iron will be passed down to my kids. I like doing recipes in the DO outside. You and the baby have a fun weekend 😉👍
👍🏻fun, love the smell of baking cookies ☺️.
Baking hint ! When you smell the baking item , it's done ✔
10:03 the McChrome Burger
Road pro trucker oven, you will love this . Most truck stops carry it peace CHROME!
I love your videos and your ideas. I'm glad I discovered your site and always look forward to seeing whats next.
Put the cookies on a wire/mesh rack in the pan. More crispy and doesn’t burn on the bottom
Completely remove the double stick tape and epoxy your mounting hard points to your roof. Works on airplanes
Maybe?The cords need to enclosed somehow. The sun and well the cold may get to them
.Just an observation. 🤪
You can get special RV tape for wires at the RV store where they sell and work on RV's
Great looking bean burger; so, after a couple of hours-breakout the Pepto Bismol!!! : ) Luv the cookies!
I love your style! I got a cast iron dutch oven and skillet combo from Lodge 2for1! Its awesome and i recommend it!
Cooking with Chrome 👍🇨🇦
Put a thick coat of aluminum foil on the bottom of your cast iron pan that will help them stop burning
WOW!!! I’ve been watching for years and this is the first time I’ve left a comment… That burger though!!! 🤤
Chef Chrome! Bon appetite.
watch those wires you zip-tied under the solar panels. The wind when driving will move them around and they may wear through rubbing on the metal support bars.
I make biscuits in a regular skillet on my stove top. Just get the mix that is ADD Water only.
Awesome cookies! Next time try flippling the cookies before adding the lid to your makeshift Dutch Oven and they might not burn . Thanks for another great video Chrome 😊👍🏽
You could try putting the dough on a wire grid so it isn't in direct contact with the base. The heat would be the same all over instead of all at the bottom.
The reason they're called "Interior" is they are not UV resistant. Same with zip ties. They will weaken and fail in short order, usually a year or so. You can buy UV rated zip ties, not sure about the wire ties.
Coleman makes a camp oven that fits right over that propane burner. It folds down flat for storage. I just got one. Haven’t tried it yet but I’m going to try to make muffins soon! Your van is looking awesome!
dammit! It's 5 am in UK (up early because dog needed to go out for a pee) and now wanting to make cookies! All your fault Chrome!!
I'm impressed by the cookies
I just love watching your videos Chrome, and your simplicity outlook on life in general, stay cool😎
The flat is called a comal, it’s amazing! And yes you’re doing it right. If you have some time go check out cowboy Kent Rollins he does some amazing things with skillets. Even over a fire if you’re willing!
Those sticky tie wrap brackets are awesome but they definitely aren’t permanent. We use them in aviation and they fall off after a few months
You r so much fun to watch. Your attitude rocks
Baking cookies in a cast iron frying pan...genius! By the way, love the sweatshirt!
