Box Oven
Supplies:
* Cardboard box with flaps removed
* Heavy duty Aluminum foil
* Scissors
Cover the cardboard box inside and out COMPLETELY with aluminum foil, placing the shiny side out.
The bottom of the box will be the top of the oven.
To use the oven, place the pan with the food to be baked on a footed grill (or similar) over the lit charcoal. The grill should be raised about 10" above the charcoal. Set the oven over the food and charcoal. Prop up one end of the oven with a stone to allow the air circulation for the charcoal or cut air vents along the lower edge of the oven. Control the baking temperature of the oven by the number of pieces of charcoal used. Each piece of charcoal supplies 40 degrees of heat. Construct a removable oven top or oven door.
Bake bread, brownies, roast chicken, pizza, coffee cake etc. Works just like a regular oven. Suggested baking times--30 minutes or less.
Try the oven over the coals of a campfire
