Fry pans should only ever be scraped clean. Soak welded on food in water and a little soap (not detergent). Scrub off with a nylon scourer. Grease pan with lard and clean off with paper towel. Re-grease and store. When using, clean off lard with paper if turned rancid and smear on a little more. Add a few drops of oil and a small knob of butter. The butter is your marker of when to add food, wait until the vigour of the foaming is subsiding before adding food.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to print-out a copy of this and keep it in my notebook for next time. Are you sure that this will work with an aluminum pan? Kinda sounds like the instruction for a cast iron pan.

[MrBillTroop73]

A bit of water brought to a boil, and a heaping sprinkle of baking soda tossed in should lift a lot of that burnt mess off of the bottom of the pan. It takes some time, but its better than scrubbing.

It really wasn't very hard to clean up the fry pan. I think using the extra oil helped. Plus there was only one little spot where the pan was burned. The rest was just browned SPAM & eggs that stuck. Bummer, what a waste.

[hoosierarcher]

Get the pan hot, add oil only when pan is hot, then let oil get hot then add food, sticking will be greatly reduced. Double boiler scrambled eggs is actually the best method for making them. They will be the fluffiest scrambles you will have ever had. Adding milk to eggs is bad for two reasons it makes them watery and it increases their likelihood of sticking.

You're right cast iron makes wonderful cooking gear. I personally put up with the wieght to carry a 7 inch cast iron skillet afield.

aluminum,

Don't use it because...

I forgot,

Where the hell am I!

Cool video! You can add 10, max 15% of water to the fuel to reduce heat output and prevent sooting.

The burn time that you get from 5cl of alcohol will also increase from 25 to aprox. 50 minutes.

The reduced heat output and longer burning time should probably make it easier to cook meals like this without sticking using aluminium pans and pots.

just boil off some vinigar in it it will make a nonstick surface

[supercory2]

looks nasty and dry as hell, tell dumb ass he needs to buy a fucking skillet or two

[TheBeebopper]

Yep. Medium heat is good, never high for aluminium. After three uses, it should clean easily, a little warm water and scrub brush after cooling. Washing it hot will strip the grease from the metal surface. Excellent aluminium pans have a ridged surface which means they hold the grease a bit better and you can use them virtually dry but not essential. If the pan does not seem to improve, scour the surface with wire wool to remove the oxidation, clean the metal off with soap etc, grease up.

yeah i love making breakfast over a wood stove it make such a woodsy taste wich i think is amazing!

I think I know what you are talking about here. I know a Green Beret DI who told me he and his men were out training in the wild and had no food. They came across some road kill, a German Shepher that was still fresh--sort of. They cooked it into stew. Good eatin.
