The Art of Learning How to Cook in a Dutch Oven

Dutch Oven

Dutch Ovens originated in Holland, were brought over to England by Abraham Darby – who improved them – then they were sold and brought over to the American Colonies! Many think Dutch settlers into the new world named them.

These days, the name “Dutch Oven” can be seen about everywhere on varying types of cookware. Traditionally though, a Dutch Oven is made of cast iron and sits on three legs to keep it above the coals. The lid has a rim on it to keep hot coals in place and it has a steel handle to remove it from the heat. Many modern manufacturers produce Dutch Ovens, Lodge being one of the most prominent ones.

Cooking pots similar to today’s Dutch Ovens have been in use since around the 7th century. Dutch Ovens last so long they were even willed to children and grandchildren from parents and grandparents. American pioneers and explorers carried Dutch Ovens with them as settlement moved west on the North American Continent. Lewis and Clark, Mountain Men, and Cowboys on the cattle drive all used Dutch Ovens. The Dutch Oven has been continually refined into what it is today. All parts of it were tinkered with until as Goldilocks would say “this one is just right…”

You can purchase a nice model for less than $60.00. We got ours for about that at Wal-Mart a couple of years ago. It’s a Lodge brand in size 12. The number on the top of the Dutch Oven lid indicates its diameter. A 12 inch pot is large enough for most meals you cook in a Dutch Oven and recipes can be easily adapted depending on what size your pot is. The popularity of the Dutch Oven was due to its versatility and that still holds true today. You can boil, bake, stew, fry, roast, etc. in a Dutch Oven and then some.

And don’t forget the accessories such as lid lifter, heavy-duty tongs, gloves, and a lid holder. While none of these are indispensable, they will certainly make life easier for the Dutch Oven chef!

To learn more, including using charcoal, a chimney, and how to place your Dutch Oven go to Pioneer Settler. Once there you can also get recipes and it will tell you how to take care of your Dutch Oven!

It’s a great, easy and inexpensive way to cook and when you are off the grid it can be a life saver!
