Cooking in Weber

kiwi_camper · June 24, 2013, 07:40:32 PM

I am about to get a Weber and would like to know what is the best thing to cook cakes and bread in, in the Weber. I'm thinking a cast iron pot but I'm not sure if I want the extra weight and space it takes in the CT. Have others had the same or better success with other things and if so what?

Thanks for your help

The pizza stone and tray works for damper and pumpkin scones. I haven't tried cakes, but I reckon you could use the pizza stone with standard cake tins no problem.

And yes, the scones tasted as good as they looked, but a bit overdone. Flo Bjelke-Petersen's recipe, but my wife's grandmothers recipe (also a FNQer) is better, just can't find where the recipe is.

They were only in the Weber for about 25 minutes, but I reckon 20 minutes would have been enough.

Normal cake tin is fine

Plenty of info on Webers in the Camp Oven section. Enjoy.

I've cooked cakes and muffins no worries, normal cake tins/trays are fine. Trick is to put some foil under the trivet as shown above by D4D and watch your temp.

Thanks everyone. I could have put this question in the camp oven section but it doesn't seem to get a lot of action in there LOL. Plus, being new to myswag I'm not sure how to effectively search old posts yet.

A little trouble controlling the temp. but i had heard that happens. I just open the lid when it gets too hot.

I put a stick or something in the edge to hold the lid up a bit, works well just be careful where you stick the stick so it doesn't catch fire

That looks fantastic! Better than most bought ones. I'm off to get my Weber this week- can't wait to try out some of the recipes in The Camp Oven section.
