Title: Milk carton used as bread tin.
Post by: achookwoman on July 23, 2011, 11:44:33 am

I heard recently that someone was using an empty milk carton as a bread tin.  That is to cook a loaf of bread in.  Has anyone heard about this?  What would be the health risks and would it need to be lined ?  Any comments would be appreciated.

hi chookie, never heard of it before but have found something here (http://www.channel4.com/4food/recipes/chefs/gordon-ramsay/marinated-puffin-with-volcanic-bread-recipe). Very interesting, but I would wonder about the toxins from the waxes and inks.

I wouldn't have thought that the inside of a milk carton could take the heat.  :-[

I had to stop a think about this one for a while. I didn't understand what you ment. So you are talking about the cardboard milk cartons?  Sounds quiet odd. Never heard of this before either. I'm interested to see what people come up with.

This happens Chookie.  Under the word 'search' on the top of the page you will see a little square box with either a dash or a plus sign in it.  Click on that and they should come back.

  I've never heard of it either but I followed this link that CP63 put in and found a recipe  by Gordon Ramsay for milk carton bread and  ... puffin breasts!!!  Think I'll make some now?!  Maybe I could substitute shearwater aka mutton bird breasts (our local once-regularly eaten--bird instead).  Wrong time of the year now, sigh, they've all migrated to spend summer in Siberia!

Judy, tried that but think I must have pressed too many other things in between.

CP63, thanks for this link.  Had trouble getting past the Puffins. :-))
Also found a Icelandic recipe for dark rye bread cooked in a hot spring, in a milk carton. I have read that you can cook bread in a well buttered paper bag.

...and I was surprised when I heard you could cook it in a garden pot - how boring is that  ;)
