Just want to tell you that I am glad that it is over.

Cooking in professional kitchen is hard and when you have only basic wood stove it is harder. Providing food 5 times per day for 21 days in row for about 40 people is even harder.

What was the easiest and hardest meal you made?

[–] plactagonic@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would be some sort of tortillas and other types of flatbread.

In theory it is simple just make dough and put it on the iron plates (directly on stove). In practice you stand 2 hours directly above hot wood stove and making 100 of them.

Easy meals are necessary, you can't make hard to cook meals every day. Only few times we decided to make our lives harder and make sth like tortillas.

Omg yes I imagine all types of bread are hard to make. I once made pita bread for my birthday. Everyone should have two so there were like 22 pitas to be made. It took so long to roll them out, let it rise and everything else. Next time I'm just gonna buy flatbread

Look at my oldest post, there is "oven" we made few years ago and we call it Igorrr.

I and other instructors make bread and other things in it. It is less work to make one big loaf than lots of small tortillas/pitas. I burned ceramic in it this year.

Wtf that's insane :D it really looks interesting to say the least but hey it works and apparently it works well, so good job. Never did something like that and I can imagine it's a lot of work.

No we use it for fun, it is work but it is mainly for our experiments/whacky ideas that we want to try. The bread is just a bonus ;-).
