Camping Trick: Boil Water in a Plastic Bottle
I’ve cooked muffin mixes and sweet breads by putting the dough in a ZipLoc-type freezer bag and dropping it into a pot of boiling water.
Try that one sometime, it never burns the dough and won’t melt the plastic bag as long as there’s enough water that the bag doesn’t rest on the bottom of the pot - and don’t seal the top of the bag or steam will pop it open & keep the open top of the bag out of the water unless you want to make dough soup.
Then, if you really feel like showing off it looks even easier to boil water in a plastic bottle. Watch out for splashing hot water on your mitts though. Anyone who can go try this in the backyard firepit or who doesn’t mind possibly getting a bit of plastic in their grill please leave a comment below:
