Woodstove Cooking: Stovetop Baking
My good friend Helen in Powell River always offers me tea and "nummies" when I come over for a visit. In case you aren't familiar, a nummy is something delicious, yummy. Helen's nummies range from macaroons dipped in chocolate to sweet muffins. Ed's sure a lucky husband. He get nummies all the time.
At our cabin, I like to bake nummies of my own. Since our wood stove is going 24/7 during winter, I've created some unique ways to bake including a gutted toaster oven and a cast iron dutch oven. Here are a few of my nummy success stories. Follow the links for the recipes.
Toaster Oven Cabin Cake -- This cake doesn't have any eggs, perfect for minimal cabin ingredients. The toaster oven traps the radiant heat. Cooking time is slow, but this moist cake still comes out great.
Dutch Oven Rustic Apple Pie -- I put a metal rack inside my cast iron dutch oven and bake cakes and pies using the trapped heat. I used my wood stove thermometer and it gets to about 300 degrees inside. Some heated rocks on top of the pot to provide extra heat.
Dutch Oven Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Here is another stovetop dutch oven favourite. The cake is really rich, but nummies are NOT meant to be diet fare.
Thanks for looking at my "nummies" pictures. Stay for awhile, take a look at my index, there's lots more to see. Or come to www.PowellRiverBooks.com for more information about Wayne's Coastal BC Stories series of books. -- Margy

Yummi Nummie! ;)))
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky as I don't like sugar :-))) (I would take on weight very quickly, even yogurt makes me take on weight!).
ReplyDeleteWhy are these called nummies and not yummies ?
Thank you very much for visiting my blog.
Oh Margy! I'm supposed to be on a diet!!!

ReplyDeleteYou must be familiar with Sheila Mills' dutch oven cookbooks? She and her husband run trips down the Salmon River in Idaho where I'm from.
Your nummies seem particularly yummy. I love trying new receipes, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love your stove....and I'm sure it makes great nummies. Thanks for all the recipes, too. That pineapple upside down cake sounds delicious, and it's one of my hubby's favorites so I'll give it a try.
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! Your nummbies look yummy! I must come over and have a sample one day! And I'm sure you meant to say that nummies are NOT meant to be diet fare. Right? lol

I have never heard of nummies, but I haven't met a cake, cookie, pastry, or pie I didn't like.
ReplyDeleteyuummm! your nummies look wonderful! better than my nachos!
ReplyDeleteWe cook many nummies over the campfire in a dutch oven. The hot rocks sound like a good idea. We try to put hot coals on top, but hubby never makes a big enough fire or else he gets too impatient to cook.
ReplyDeleteYou betcha, nummies is good thing and a perfect N post for today. It all looks great as does your blog. Glad to hear PT is a favorite stop and thank you for stopping by today.
