^^^ you can cook/poach eggs in brown paper bags too! it's an old boy scout trick... oh wait -- that just sounds wrong.
eggs in paper sackWhen camping, cleaning pots and pans is no fun. No one wants to wait for the water to heat up over the fire and no one likes washing dishes. Solution — Paper Bag. Brown lunch bags work the best. Just place the bacon on the bottom of the bag and crack an egg on top of the bacon. Use a stick to prop the bag over hot coals. Rotate the bag a few times and you have yourself breakfast.
okay, that sounded a bit vague, so here is a better recipe for the same "dish":
INGREDIENTS:
* Two strips bacon (thick)
* one paper lunch bag
* one egg
* one stick
PREPARATION:
Cut bacon strips in two, place at the bottom of the paper bag, covering the bottom. It is important that you have thick strips of bacon as thin ones will stick and adhere to the paper bag when cooked. Crack egg and put in paper bag on top of the bacon. Fold lunch bag down three times and poke a hole through it with the stick, so that the bag is hanging on the end of the stick. Hold over charcoal and watch the grease from the bacon protect the bag and cook the meal.
oh gee, i found another recipe too, utilizing two ziplock bags:
ice cream in a zip lock bag:INGREDIENTS:
* One small seal top plastic bag
* One gallon size seal top plastic bag
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
* 1/2 cup of milk
* Crushed ice
* 8 tablespoons ice-cream salt(rock salt)
* One tablespoon peanut butter
PREPARATION:
In a small seal top plastic bag, pour 1/2 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Close the bag and place in a gallon-size seal top bag. Add some crushed ice and 8 tablespoons of ice cream salt(rock salt).
Close the top and shake being careful not to bust the bags. You could also add one tablespoon of peanut butter... yummy!
