OK, I've been putting off posting this but hubby said 'can't you put something onto that forum you're always tapping away on' so I give in, here goes..

He wants to know if anyone out there has successfully managed to cook pizza when camping. I mean supermarket bought ones here, not talking making the dough and going the whole hog or anything, but either fresh or frozen supermarket ones. For some reason he has a desparate longing to eat pizza when camping.. dunno, don't ask! Anyway, we can't afford to buy pizza from the take aways on sites!

Thoughts so far are, heat them through on a large frying pan then put them under the grill and move them around a lot (we're talking campingaz two burner with tiny grill here!). Or, put them on the barbecue (!?) or, put them into the portable gas bbq and put the lid on (never been sure if you're actually supposed to cook with the lid on with one of those, anyone know?). Other thought was to take the George Foreman grill, put a couple of silicone sheets in it and slide the pizza in between - you'd probably have to turn it around a lot and it would probably look rather odd...) Any further suggestions? We don't want to buy one of those camping ovens - they look far too dangerous, and anyway I don't want to spend any more money - and it's hardly saving us money that way is it!!?

All suggestions gratefully recieved!

cook it at home and eat it cold?????????

my kids like cold pizza with salad

We have cooked pizza on the cadac and it works great just put the lid on and on high heat for about 5 mins just keep an eye on the base so you do not burn it .the first one we did was a bit black ,but we have the hang of it now

I've seen a Tristar 10 litre electric oven, it takes 9 inch pizzas, and it's £29.99.

It's on the bridgend , leisure and camping website. Hope this helps.

dutch oven on the bbq

just put a few coals on the lid

How about get pizza bases, tomato paste, cheese and toppings

Cook base under grill on one side turn over grill on the other side top with tomato paste and cheese and pop back under and grill till cheese melts

use toppings that are pre cooked i.e. sandwich ham, fried onions put them under the cheese so they don't burn.

I have though long and hard on this for many, many weeks as I and the kids miss pizza too but we try and keep the cost of camping down so no take-aways for us
