There’s nothing like making a home-cooked meal over the fire, under the starry night sky. A spun steel camp oven is an essential part of your camping gear collection. With it, you can make more elaborate meals even in the wild.
When you invest in a steel camp oven, you want to ensure you’re caring for it properly so you can use it for many years to come. Our oven experts at Goldline have put together this guide to help you maintain your camp oven.
How To Clean A Steel Camp Oven
Before your next camping trip, don’t forget to clean your camp oven thoroughly. Here are a few pointers to help you clean your camping oven.
- Never use cold water. It’s best to use warm water to avoid damaging the steel. Especially when the stove is hot, never rinse it with cold water.
- Oil the stove after cleaning it. Use a paper towel with a small amount of oil to coat the oven. This helps prevent rust build-up.
- Avoid dropping the spun steel camp oven. Dropping or knocking it against other metal objects can dent it and affect heating performance.
How To Prevent Rust
The best way to prevent rust is to oil your camp oven after cleaning it. Otherwise, you risk pulling a dirty, rusty oven out of storage. Always store your spun steel camp oven in a cool, dry place.
When transporting and storing your oven, we recommend using a canvas bag. This protects the oven and keeps all utensils and accessories together.
How To Cook In A Steel Camp Oven
Camping cooking may come more naturally to some people than others. When cooking, it’s essential to bring all the ingredients and tools you’ll need. Here are some helpful tips for cooking in a spun steel camp oven.
- Pre-prepare vegetables before your trip. Chop onions, peppers, and garlic ahead of time and store them in zip-lock bags to save time and stay organised.
- Don’t forget aluminium foil. It’s useful for covering dishes, saving leftovers, and wrapping meat or vegetables for grilling.
- Season your camp oven before use. Scrub the base with hot soapy water, dry it thoroughly, then coat the interior and lid with oil. This helps create a non-stick surface.
