What are your go to recipes for reheating leftovers on your heater. I like the small loaf pan ideas for a cooking container. I was thinking of B&G and I will try it my next time out. I also like the baked ziti and mac and cheese ideas as well. Im just wondering what other caserole type dishes do you like to bring on the ice.

My weakness is my stomach!!!

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what's B&G?

biscuits and gravy

In certain circles you would be cast from the group for asking such questions.

Nothing beats hot chili and hotdogs! It's been known to bring in hungry ice holes from all over the lake!

I like to use the Chinese food style containers from the dollar store for re-heating. Lasagna, spaghetti, and sauerkraut with bratwurst are 3 favourites of mine.

That's what I was eating when I asked! Never even thought to bring it on the ice with me, that's going to have to happen this year.

I figure it would work in those small aluminium foil loaf pans. My wife also made a bunch of twice baked potatoes and froze them. I think those would work too, maybe take a bit longer because of how dense potatoes are.

I have a thick pie tin and I set it on my little buddy and pour almonds in it. Then I just snack on them while I'm fishing. Good to know others use their buddies to cook on. I also heat up my jerky on it. Anything I snack on I warm up first to keep the ole core temp up.

I would be really afraid of getting gravy or chili sauce on my ceramic heating element. I think I will stick to the MSR stove and Weber Smokey Joe.

I like to get shaved ham or roast beef from the local deli. I put it in a loaf tin with some butter and set it on my buddy heater. Some buns and a cheese slice or two, and you have a nice hot sandwich to eat on the ice. Simple but good.

ROAST BEER? NOOOO

Hahaha! Ooooops. There i fixed it.

most days i like to bring any chinese or japanese noodles soup with hard boiled eggs. i used the loaf pan foil to heat the water. pour it and its ready in less than 5mins. plus the soup really warms your body up.

I ahvnt gotten into cooking on my buddy yet, but my plan this season. But I do frequently get a package of my favorite hot dogs, drop thawed hot dogs in my thermos fill with boiling water, and pack it in my gear. By lunch time you have cooked hot dogs. Then I place a bun on the heater buddy for 20 seconds a side. Fish out a dog with a fork and slap it on the bun. cheap, fast and easy

puddy · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 04, 2015, 01:15 PM »

That's genius with the hot dog, I never thought of that. May have to give that a try, heck you could heat up some chili on the buddy heater and have chili dogs.

DSCOFF · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 04, 2015, 04:59 PM »

-20c on the ice with a nice hot butter chicken and rice.

this is definitely a "life hack"
soo easy! fool proof. as long as you don't get "plumping" hot dogs...
also I suggest having a thermos dedicated to hot dogs, or at least food. hot dog stank, and coffee stank are 2 stanks that don't stop stankin. I couldn't imagine both stanks combined

We ate about 3lbs of honey baked ham on houghton lake saturday. I think some close shanties were wondering what the hell was going on that ham was warm and cooked up perfectly

what is holding the grate on the heater? just the weight of the food?

DSCOFF · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 06, 2015, 05:43 PM »

I modified some electrical conduit clamps and attached them to the top. The grate tucks under the clamps and rests on top of the buddy heater cage. Stores away perfectly in the storage bag for the heater.

thebear · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 06, 2015, 07:11 PM »

Are those drilled into the unit itsel?

Yes. I drilled a pilot hole and used a course threaded screw just long enough to get into the metal body of the heater.

never thought of it now that i have one of those heaters you guys have given me a few ideas.

excellent idea! Thanks a lot. I really like putting soup or something in the stanley thermos, pop tarts are always a favorite of mine to warm up as well

rayclargo · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 07, 2015, 10:14 AM »

thanks dscoff you solved my problem, Great idea.

During hunting season, I set aside 5-10 pounds of stew meat depending on what I shoot. I make a bunch of stew and freeze it in individual freezer bags. I take out a bag the day before I'm going out then heat it up in the shanty. Not much better than that on a cold day.

This is my go to ice fishing food also. I use a small coleman stove.
