Today I want to talk about using a camp oven trivet, 10 years ago when I started Camp oven cooking, everybody told me to go out and buy a trivet and put it in the bottom of the camp oven, instead of teaching me heat control.
So that way your food doesn’t burn and being a beginner right you listen to those around you as you think they have more experience than you do.
But further on down the track, when I learned more about heat control, I figured out the didn’t need to use a camp oven trivet.
