Ok gals, I'm tryin' the skillet cookies tonight!

[Shawna]

This will be an all-out experiment as I am trying the cookies in the cast iron but am also baking them on the top of the woodstove. I used the toll house bar cookies recipe, so we'll see how it goes! I'll let ya know!

 

Have a fabulous evening everyone!!!!!!

Let us know how they turn out!! If this works, it opens up other possibilities for things you'd think you need an oven for...

Well, chaulk it up to one experience tried and learned LOL! They baked great, except for the bottom, whihc had a lvely black crusty layer I tried setting my cast iron pan on the rack that's on the bottom of my canner, but it apparantly wasn't enough space between the pan and the stove. I used my water bath canning lid to cover the cookie, which worked good. So, next time I am going to try placing a cooling rack on the stove and setting my pan on that. Other than the bottom, they cooked up great!

 

Will try another experiment later today LOL!

They sell trivets for the cast iron pots some 1 inch and 2 and so on, check Lodge Cast Iron products.

This is a little different, but I have mixed up brownies and cooked them on the barbeque grill with the lid down and they turned out fine. I preheated the grill with the lid down first and did the rest just like an oven. I think it took a little less time than the standard oven. This is great in the summer time when the outside temps are awful.

There's always the no-bake chocolate cookies.

I used to use the cast iron thingies from the top of an old gas range as trivets on the wood stove. I don't know what they are called, LOL. They are the things you set the pot on over the burner.
