Cooking in Mud
For those times when you’re really cooking outdoors… I’m not talking about cooking on your outdoor electric grills or your hibachi mini grill, but when you’re cooking your food over a real camp fire, here’s a little technique that’s kind of fun to try, especially if you’re cooking with kids. Tell them that you’re going to cook their food in MUD!
If you happen to be camping in an area where the dirt is somewhat like clay, here’s what you do to bake a potato. Take the potato and poke some holes in it with a fork or sharp knife. Next, wrap aluminum foil around it. Now, get some muddy clay and encase the entire potato in a layer of mud about one half inch thick, and then bury it in the hot coals of your camp fire. Don’t rest it on top, but bury it completely in the coals.
The mud will protect the potato from getting scortched, and it will recieve good, even heat from all sides. Leave it in the fire for about an hour before removing it VERY carefully. It will be HOT. You will now be able to crack off the baked on shell of mud and peel back the foil to reveal a perfectly baked potato. Now THAT is outdoor cooking!
