Our family has used cast iron cooking gear (camp ovens) for generations. We come from the bush and decent cooking in the camp is considered a minimum. Indeed, all the men (as boys) are expected to learn to cook on the coals and traditionally do most of the cooking in a family camp. My mother used to say ' a man who can't feed himself is not much a man in my opinon...' I was surrounded by men (Dad had five brothers) so you learned to cook on coals so you could face them.
My boys are now real good camp oven cooks and we do the lot from damper (type of bread) through hard timers (sort of biscuits) to stir fries and roast dinners. A lot we make up as we go along depending on what's left in the tucker box at the end of a couple of weeks camped.
Hardtimers in the camp oven ready for the coals...
Cheers.
