More Ways of Cooking with the Dutch oven
April 9th, 2010
We associate these heavy pots with camping. Dutch ovens are actually one of the best cookware to bring along on a camping trip. It cooks well in open fire as well as in conventional camping stoves. A Dutch oven is also a good way of storing food in the wilds. Food will stay hot longer than pots made of aluminum or other materials.
You will be amazed at how this unassuming piece of cookware can do over a campfire. It can roast and bake. You do this by putting coals in the bottom and the overturned lid of the pot. It can also fry, boil, simmer and stew, using the traditional method of applying heat at the bottom. With a Dutch oven and a bag of coals in your trunk, you will be able to cook all of your favorite recipes, even in the wilds.
