That has been done for a long, long time. My father in law use to tell me about his grandfather cooking a piece of pork in the syrup while they made it.

It's easy to easy to serve and eat in the sugarhouse. We break into knots and provide a small paper plate. Pour syrup on it directly from the canner and eat with fingers.Originally Posted by Pdiamond

I eat MRE's for lunch and the wife brings supper down to me.
Sorry to inject a downer on this nice thread, but while cooking food directly in the pan is a fine tradition, keep in mind that if you are SELLING your syrup, this is not an acceptable practice for a variety of reasons. Even eating in sap processing and syrup production areas is frowned upon.

I’m with the Dr. Probably not a good idea cooking in your shack let alone your syrup pan if you going to be retailing your syrup to the public. If it’s just for you then cook on I guess. My grandpa used to say that pouched eggs are amazing cooked in syrup. I’m sure he probably did it in his syrup pan lol. Coffee is the only thing I usually take to the shack with me. Maybe a few granola bars or whatever I steal from the kids lunch snacks.
