Does anyone have experience using Dutch Ovens?

My husband has recently started collecting a variety of them...all shapes and sizes.  We've used them to make a pork roast with all the trimmings, and a chicken dinnner as well as a variety of other dishes. 

Just put all the ingredients in, and put coals underneath and on top of the lid and let it go.  How many coals you use depends on the size of the oven.

My sister uses hers to make breakfast burritos. 

I've made chili over the campfire with one. 

Good stuff!

It's been a while but yeah, I have. The really good heavy duty cast iron

ones.

You can make pretty good biscuits in them, too, if you're careful. They

can stick if you don't have it seasoned right or use some type of grease.

HA camp cooks in the olden days used to just slap some bacon grease

in there, right?

we haven't tried biscuits yet...but i'm sure we'll be trying lots of different things this summer.

and yes, i'm talking the nice heavy duty cast iron ones.  we have 4 of them so far, ranging in size from approximately 4 quarts to 4 gallons.

I inherited my Mother in law's Dutch Oven.  It is my most prized possesion of hers.  I haven't tried in over the coals, but use it often on top of the stove and in the oven.  It makes the BEST roasts I've ever tasted.  Beef or Pork, they are amazing.  They get the most wonderful flavor.  Hams too!

Hi Greeneyes ::whello::

yes, they are amazing!

not all Dutch ovens are designed for use with coals....does yours have legs?  we have 2 with legs about an inch long, and 2 without.

The ones without legs work well over the campfire though, we bought a tripod to sit over the fire, that it can hang on.  My husband also made a heavy duty contraption to hold the heavier ones too.  Looking forward to trying it out soon.  :)

No, mine sits flat.  I'd LOVE to have one with legs.  You will have to share some of your best recipes with me:D  My Mother in law used to brown a chuck roast and put it in the Dutch Oven with all kinds of veggies.  She'd pour V8 juice over all and simmer for 2 or 3 hours.  My goodness was that ever heavenly!  She could buy the cheapest cuts of meat and get them so tender and juicy.  She also used hers to make huge pots of homemade chicken & noodles and beef & noodles.  Gosh..I'm getting hungry!

These posts are bringing back memories of my mother using her heavy duty cast iron Dutch oven to make the best beef pot roast I've ever tasted in my life.  So tender and delicious.  She put in veggies and the right amount of water.  I guess most everyone thinks their own mother was/is the world's best cook. :D

I'm going to really enjoy browing this site.  Thank you!  Those of us that own Dutch Ovens need to be sure and let each other know if we try any of the recipes.

My Grandmother and my mom used Dutch Ovens.  The meals that came out of those old cast iron pots were the best!  I've never been able to really keep mine from rusting!  No matter how much I seasoned my pot, nor how much I dried it after washing, it still seemed to rust!I think their replacement today is suppose to be the "Slow Cooker or Crock Pot"    In my opinion they don't even come close.....................

Well I never used soap because I was told it would ruin the seasoning of the pot.  I did however put the lid on!  Maybe I'll try again! ::nsmile::
