Where Did All the Corn Roasts Go?<br />
Corn roasts were a regular community<br />
event in the Ottawa valley. It was custom<br />
for the party host to supply and cook the<br />
corn while the guests brought potluck<br />
dishes to share. A tripod would be set up<br />
and a big cast iron cauldron would hang<br />
from a chain over the fire. A fire would<br />
be lit under the cauldron, the water was<br />
brought to a boil, the corn was dropped in<br />
and scooped out with long handled nets.<br />
There was usually a can of melted butter<br />
hanging over the fire to dip the cobs in.<br />
The guests would help themselves to<br />
corn, side dishes and salads.<br />
My mother-in-law and father-in-law<br />
had so many good memories hosting and<br />
attending corn roasts in the Ottawa valley.<br />
For their 50th Wedding Anniversary, they<br />
decided to host a corn<br />
roast, inviting family,<br />
friends and neighbours<br />
to their celebration. I<br />
had never hosted or<br />
attended a corn roast so<br />
it was a really exciting<br />
experience for me. As<br />
a city girl, it was hard<br />
to imagine cooking on<br />
a cauldron over the fire.<br />
However, my husband<br />
put himself through<br />
university by growing and selling corn<br />
and hosting community corn roasts on<br />
the weekends.<br />
We all got to work planning this big<br />
celebration. My father in law welded the<br />
old cracked cast iron cauldrons together.<br />
The tent was rented, the food and<br />
decorations were ordered. On the day of<br />
the party, the whole community pitched<br />

in with peeling potatoes, frying turkeys,<br />
and boiling corn. It was so entertaining<br />
watching the turkeys going in and out<br />
of the deep fryer and watching the corn<br />
being cooked over the fire. The food<br />
turned out delicious, thanks to all the<br />
volunteers who made the day a success.<br />
Everyone had such a great time. I<br />
wondered why corn roasts weren’t being<br />
hosted in my area. I wanted other people<br />
to experience it. I began searching for<br />
old, antique, cast iron cauldrons but they<br />
were broken or too expensive. Then, I<br />
happened to stumble upon the Cowboy<br />
Cauldrons. It was exactly what I wanted<br />
to bring to my customers. Now, my area<br />
will have the chance to experience corn<br />
roasts and campfire grilling on a whole<br />
new level.<br />
The Cowboy<br />
Cauldrons are made<br />
of plated steel and will<br />
not crack like the oldfashioned,<br />
cast iron<br />
versions. They can<br />
be used two ways for<br />
cooking. If the fire is<br />
under the cauldron,<br />
it can be used to<br />
boil water for corn,<br />
potatoes, crab or lobster<br />
boils. If the fire is inside the basin, the<br />
grill can be placed on top for cooking<br />
or grilling anything! You can use them<br />
for campfires or for hosting campfire<br />
cooking dinner parties. If you are<br />
looking for ways to spend more time<br />
outdoors, enjoy cooking, entertaining,<br />
socializing and relaxing at home; you<br />
will love this product.<br />
