Oven Cooking
Dutch ovens are
perfect for any type of outdoor activity. But you don't have
to go on an outdoor trip to enjoy dutch oven cooking. You
can cook right in your own backyard. Instead of barbecuing,
do it in a dutch! Fire up the briquettes and start cooking
away. Your guests will beg to be invited back.
Cooking techniques such as roasting, baking simmering,
stewing, frying, boiling, steaming, and many others are
easly done on the campfire with only a single utensil, the
dutch oven. Think of the possibilities, delicious fresh
baked bread that will rise up and lift the lid, cobblers
made from berries picked fresh at the campsite, incredable
deep-dish pizzas, stews, quishes that melt in your mouth,
cornish game hens roasted to perfection, and imagine a
chocolate cake a foot in diameter! These and many, many more
are very possible and sometimes easier than they are at
home. With very few exceptions, you can duplicate any home
recipes on the campfire using the dutch oven.
Dutch ovens come in different shapes and sizes. You might
want to start with a 12-quart dutch with three legs. The
flat-bottomed dutch ovens has its limitations. Be sure the
lid has a lip to it. That way the briquets won't roll off
the lid.
There are tons of recipes you can get on the internet. So
get cooking!
