Let’s talk biscuits

[Diamond_c]

My DW and I enjoy a “ big breakfast “ usually once every camping trip. At our house we have an electric stove and oven. In my life I’ve only had gas for only a few months all together. We always make caned biscuits.they’re quick and easy and we like them. My question to all y’all camper chefs is, how do you make biscuits in a gas oven and get them done ( top, bottom, and inside) without burning them? I either burn the bottom and the top is not done, or I turn them over about 2/3s they way through and nd the middle still not done. Please help ! Thanks

Absolutely a Dutch oven and charcoal outside is my go to, but on a “ to rainy “ of a day I was looking for other options. I hadn’t thought of the convection microwave. That sounds like a great idea !

Look up “air bake cookie sheets” on Amazon. I never could cook anything without burning it until I bought these.

I have used a large 12 inch iron skillet to cook canned biscuits. I use bacon grease or spray PAM. The biscuits on medium heat. They stick together. I turn the whole batch over about midway through cooking time. I cover them. When they are browned on both sides, I remove from heat but let them sit in a covered skillet for a few minutes longer.

Ideally I make biscuits in a Dutch Oven out side with charcoal. Super easy to get the heat right and does a much nicer job. But.......when I have to cook inside with the oven....there is a pizza stone on the diffuser that the burner is mounted to. I cook them at 400 degrees on the bottome shelf for 10 minutes, top shelf for another 10....then to brown them slide them under the broiler/burner(the absolute bottom of the oven)and baby them to brown them....and by "baby" I mean you need to be there with a hot pad rotating the pan hear and there around the bottom to evenly brown them.....but you don't walk away or carry on a conversation when browning..........

Not here. A pizza stone equalizes the bottom heat. OP is having an issue with top heat. A pizza stone doesn't help this but it does help baking overall. Better than NOT putting in a stone.

My RV has a convection/microwave. Problem solved. Everything bakes perfectly in a convection.

To add to bgum...a pizza stone on the solid shelf above the burner not covering the holes helps to even the oven heat. People are amazed when the wife will bring out a perfectly baked cake from our rv oven.

Thus are the limitations of RV ovens. No top heat.

Try cooking them inside a Dutch Oven with the lid on. Biscuits like a high heat of around 400-425.
