- All the Items Needed
To get started here’s what you’ll need:
- Stove and Fuel
- Pot with a Cover
- Muffin Tin (I used a cut up soda can)
- Muffin Mix
- Bag to Mix it in
- Something to get the muffin Tin off the bottom of the Pot
- Poor Mix into Bag
First Step
Prior to going out I’d have the mix already in a zip top baggie in the amount that I’d be using on the trip.
- Add Water and Knead till thick
Second Step
Add water a little at a time and knead the mix. The goal here is consistency, you’re aiming for really thick but still having all the mix dissolved.
- Rocks on bottom of pot to Hold Muffin Tin Off the Bottom
Third Step
Add water to the pot. This will be your cooking medium so make sure you have enough in there.
You’ll need to find something to put on the bottom of your pot to lift the muffin tin off the bottom.
You also want to keep the tin away from the sides.
I used rocks in this case.
- Put Muffin tin on top of Rocks
Fourth Step
Pour mix into muffin tin.
Place the tin on top of the rocks.
Make sure that it’s pretty stable or else it could be dislodged by a heavy boil.
- Ignite Stove and Cook
Fifth Stove
Ignite stove and let it boil. You can’t really over steam cook something so just make sure to cook it long enough.
I’d shoot for letting it bake for about 10 minutes to start with.
Cooking time will vary greatly with the size of the muffin tin and the amount of mix you put in it.
A word of warning though steam baking uses A LOT OF FUEL so only do this on your expedition if fuel isn’t that big of a concern.
- Enjoy!

ENJOY!
