This summer, why not take it upon yourself to cook a few simple meals over a fire?
No disrespect to s’mores and hot dogs, which have earned their spot at the top of the “food you eat around a campfire” pyramid. But they’re not the only foods you could cook and enjoy in the great outdoors — or in your backyard. I’m a cook who doesn’t have central air conditioning in her home, so I’ve frequently relied on my gas grill for making as many meals as I can when the weather gets hot and steamy. As the years have gone by, however, I’ve turned to my backyard firepit as another option.
Start simple with skillet meals or foil packets Think of a hot fire as your outdoor stovetop — if you’d cook it over a stove burner with a skillet or pan, you can also make it over a fire with a grill grate. Once the fire has been burning for at least 10 minutes and a bed of shimmering coals is building under your logs, place a grill grate over the fire as your cooking surface. You can test the heat of the flames by safely placing your hand in the approximate spot where the grate would go.
