All the Items Needed
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
