Wood-fire or Buddy Soot If you support your cooking pot directly over a buddy burner, or cook over a wood fire, the outside of the pot will become coated with soot. "Fairy Ajax" will make the pot much easier to clean. "Fairy Ajax" To make cooking pots easier to clean after cooking on a wood fire or buddy burner, first coat the outside of the pot with the following magical mixture. Mix approximately equal quantities of washing-up liquid with Ajax (or Vim or similar), I can only find Ajax in the shops now, so I bought about four cartons. Then paint the outside of the dixie or other cooking pot with this mixture. At the end of the camp, you just need a plastic scourer to clean this, you even have the cleaning stuff ready on the pot. |
