iv made stews in mine. just chop up some meat, potato, onion, peas and gravy powder and boil it for a while. chop it up small to cut cooking times. works prety well if your going solo. lately its only been used for making brews.

I've used my crusader quite a few times for the usual brew and rat pack and the occasional rice or porridge (oatso simple sachet with water and a spoon of powdered milk, nice and easy way to start the day).

Also managed bannock a couple of times. Carry the bannock mix in a ziploc, add water to mix and put the dough into the mug and cook on a gentle heat. It needs to be turned out of the mug every now and again to cook evenly, or lay the mug on it's side next to a fire to cook in the radiant heat. I found it's very important to keep the dough quite dry. It has a nasty habit of sticking to the mug otherwise!

All in all a nice little experiment. Makes a nice change, eating a savoury bannock (jerky & onion powder) main while the dessert bannock (coconut, almons or dried fruit) is cooking away.

sausage and beans tasted great, stuck like hell.

stiring with a stick to get in the corners sounds like a good idea.

i think my sons swedish army trangia cook set may be better for proper cooking, but for brews, boil in the bag or dehydrated crusader is good

must try and make a lid, would a beer can cut up be heavy enough

I cook in mine all the time, but not with the gel or solid fuel. I've a small pop can stove that sits in the bottom, and it works great as a bomb proof little cook kit. It does get much hotter with a meths stove though, so you can't use the plastic lid with one. I have a lid made from a flattened bean tin ith a wire handle that does the job.

In fact I had a bit of a seafood and sanfire medle in mine this very lunchtime, and very nice it was too :D
