How to care for your cast iron Dutch Oven
There is more than 1 seller with this at Amazon, a search led me to another page with the same oven for substantially less, but it changes often. Dutch ovens are a classic and versatile cooking tool that is used by cooks and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. There are several companies that still make cast-iron, and this model is made for one of the biggest groups of users, the Boy scouts, with the scout logo on the lid. My review is mostly limited to the outdoor uses, but I use one in my home oven as well. This model measures 12 inches in diameter at the top with a depth of 3. 75 inches, 6 quarts. It has the tripod legs and a recessed lid best suited for cooking in coals. Be aware that those legs make it harder to use in a conventional oven, you need to maneuver the legs if possible into your grill rack. They cast-iron manufacturers make a legless version with the domed lid for a home oven, and I have used it in a fire as well. On this 3 legged model, you can use the lid as a skillet...
nothing like lodge
I have quite a bit of cast iron--most of it off brand and I can tell you that from now on I will only buy lodge. We really like this dutch oven. We camp as scouts and as a family and plan on handing this down when we are too weak to pick it up. It sure is heavy. There is a difference in quality with lodge.
Second Oven
Wife say's "we need a second oven".
If you've heard that recently, then consider this cast iron camp oven (smaller and larger available). It works in the oven, over a camp fire, with hot coals under and on top and in my case inside my "Big Green Egg" barbecue. I'm a baker and I've got a great, easy to make bread that bakes to perfection in the camp oven.
