Dutch Ovens – For You Camp Cooking Needs
Camping is just one of the few outdoor activities I love to do. Just being out there and being one with nature gives me a sense of comfort. Even though the trek to the campsite and setting up camp is tiring, I still feel content and accomplished. But it isn’t always fine and dandy. I’ve had my share of camping mishaps. One I will never forget was when I forgot my Dutch oven.
A cast iron dutch oven, also known as cowboy dutch ovens, is a sturdy piece of kitchenware. It has three legs, a wire bail handle, and a concave rimmed lid. The lid is shaped as such so the coals from the cooking fire can also be placed on top and below the pot. This style can provide uniform heat, transforming the pot into some sort of oven. It is very ideal for cooking over campfire, so when I forgot that during one camping trip, cooking our food became a bit of a challenge. It’s a good thing one of my companions had a small pan with him. It wasn’t as big and as sturdy as my Dutch oven, but it would have to do.
