What is a Dutch Oven?

RE: What is a Dutch Oven? By cett (152) Profile Contact Thanks to everyone who took the time to explain what a Dutch oven is. Leastways, now I can safely follow a recipe requiring this object knowing that a casserole dish is the same thing. Pity I didn't ask earlier, I missed out on some good recipes simply because I didn't know what implement to use! Thanks again. Posted on 05/29/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is a Dutch Oven?

By duckie43 (57) Profile Contact Originally a Dutch oven is a cast iron pot with a tight fitting cast iron lid. It can be used over a camp fire, in a regular oven or stove top. If you want to bake in it over a campfire, you set it in the fire and place hot coals over the top. Posted on 05/28/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is a Dutch Oven? By cookwie (1260) Profile Contact For the average house with a stove, a dutch oven is a big pot with a lid. No legs. Mine is: 5 inches high, 10 inches diameter Hope this helps.

I have just discovered dutch ovens and am in love with them. They cook with less enegy. The cast iron holds in heat better. Posted on 05/28/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is a Dutch Oven? By cett (152) Profile Contact Thanks carolb, for the wiki site so I could read about it. Just one more question. is the American version with the three little legs underneath? We just call it a casserole dish where I come from but it hasn't any legs underneath. So in American recipes, which one is used, legless(lol) or no?

It's large -- not as big as a stock pot, but large that you could cook a large pot of soup, or 6 cobs of corn in water, etc. Go to this website -- it gives you a description, as well as the history as to why it's called "Dutch" oven! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_oven Posted on 05/26/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is a Dutch Oven?
