A Dutch Oven is extremely low maintenance – so low maintenance it is almost “dummy proof.”

But it is an easy and convenient way to cook food in a survival situation that uses very few precious calories setting up; all you really need to do is monitor it as your food cooks.

The Dutch Oven is a tried and true method of cooking that virtually anyone can master. The key is having a sturdy pot and hot coals or heated rocks from a fire.

Can you think of ways to make this amazingly handy cooking method even better?
