Cooking With a Dutch Oven

I have baked delicious one dish meals such as stew and soups in a Dutch Oven that have turned out perfect especially when out in the outdoors. Other meals and snacks that can be made are pizza, rolls, and cakes. Meat is another savory meal that can be cooked to perfection in a Dutch Oven.

There are a few things concerning the cooking source that are important to fruitful Dutch oven cooking. They can cause the difference between undercooked or burnt food. When I am near cooking a meat dish such as ribs, chicken or roast, I like to brown the meat in the Dutch oven on a camp stove. The delcious flavor from the browned meat is in the Dutch oven and makes the finished product tasty. Another thing it does is this gets the Dutch oven hot so when it is placed on the coals, they sustain the heat and energy so it isn't lost trying to heat the Dutch oven up http://www.italianfood-recipes.com/The-Skinny-on-Skinless-Chicken-Breasts-Italian-Recipe.htm.

The heat for the Dutch oven has to be just right. To take a line from the three bears, it must be, "just right." This might seem hard to determine, but if you are using charcoal briquettes it is no harder than counting the number of briquettes to put under and on top of the Dutch oven.
