Thanks for sharing this vid! After trying several "camping cups" I discovered the Sea to Summit "X" series of bowls, mugs and plates and consider it the best "folding" stuff around. I thus own several X-Mugs and yet never thought to use it like this! I also own a Soloist and a Jetboil that I've steam-baked in before using silicon cupcake molds (wonder if the x-mug would fit in that stove's pot too?) so I can't wait to give your method a try! Again, thanks for the video!
@BanjoOz Thanks for the thoughtful comment! I also have a jetboil and hadn't thought about baking in it because of the form factor. If I ever find my silly feet silicone muffin holders I might try it. I really like the x mug though because it holds all of the batter from one small pack of grocery store muffin mix so you can make a size that you can share once it's done if you are so inclined...laughing. It's also soooo fun to pop the foldable mug off the muffin because it lets go with such ease!
Can you mix your water into the cake mix with a stick, in the packaging? Then put the pack in your mug with 1/3 cup water? With a low flame that should be plenty of water to steam for 20 minutes.
Nice idea Beebopper if the betty crocker bag were bigger it's only 6.7 oz and mostly filled with the product I could probably stir with a stick yet there would not be room for cooking and rising and there would be no stability in the bag which would result in a mess and my motto for camp cooking is No Mess Trail baking:-)
I do plan to see if stirring with a stick or spork will work once I add the half of cup of water needed to bake the product. I'm not quite sure if there is enough space.
@LoveRise In the house I use a stick for stirring when making soups, sauces and custards. I find a spoon is less effective in the main and next to useless for dough, where a small pallette knife is best. Just bought a clip together steel knife fork spoon set and the knife looks about right for mixing a small quantity of dough.
@TheBeebopper The camp 'table' knife works well for small dough quatities (1/2 cup cones), although I did mix it in an enamel cup. This was easier than doing a similar small quantity in a small mixing bowl with either a pallete or a proper dinner knife.
Nice :o) That pot is great !Isn't it? It has great heat distribution. With my Banana Boat side jet burner. I boiled 1 liter in 7 minutes. I was impressed :o) On to part 2
Yes, I really do have quite a collection of cooksets, pots and stoves since I'm addicted and there is not a 12 step program for recovery:-) So even with my collection the gsi soloist is really becoming a favorite of mine especially coupled with the sea to summit folding cup which I plan to buy another which I feel will suffice for cooking for 2.
I also have the optimus crux stove that will fit in the soloist with the fuel when I don't feel like using alcohol. I may conduct another test to see how long it would take for the muffins to cook when using the optimus.

Those are good ideas Beebopper (just love your screen name, so much fun to say and as a songwriter I feel it's also very musical, nice ring to it!!)
Thanks for sharing!
