Love your site. Thank you so much. Enjoying this

Cast iron cooking.

Any tips or favorite recipies for doing a pot roast in a dutch oven? Great site!

@Jon - Yes, there is a Beef Pot Roast recipe in the list above.

On the front of this recipe page there are some jalapeno poppers it looks like? Do you have the D O recipe for these? They look great! Thanks

Thank you Dutch Oven Dude. I will make them! They look delicious!

I camp with a group of 12-16 every year for a week in the NC mountains, and have had your site bookmarked for many years so I can refer to it again and again. Now the proud owner of 3 well-seasoned Dutch ovens, I'm almost ready leave the propane cook stove at home. The recipes are wonderful, and have brought rave reviews from the campers.

As a side note, I've found flaxseed oil to be the very best for seasoning cast iron. Six or more layers, wiped on VERY thinly between 1-hour bakes in the oven at its highest temperature, have yielded an impermeable non-stick surface that shows no sign of flaking or wearing off.

The Cowboy Stew is Great!!!!!

Does your cookbook include some of the tips for caring for the DO and heating settings etc??



Thanks for an awesome product!

@Jordan - Yes, it does.

I got my Dutch Oven in November. I first used it this past weekend. I totally winged it add made venison stew. It was excellent. We just used coals from the fire, it was done well before usual camp dinner (4:00). I had to call the clan back from fishing. :( Anyway, I'm so looking forward to learning how to use my oven properly. I'll try with briquettes this time, but I hope to use wood coals so I don't have to buy them. That might not fair well with timing. But, I hope it can be learned. Thanks for posting your recipes for free. I think I need your cook book though! Excellent site, I have visited a few looking for recipes. I don't have to look any further. This is perfect! :)

What size DO do you use for your recipes?

Some of the recipes that I have looked at doesn't specify.

@Cristy - every recipe page has text at the bottom stating "All recipes use a 12-inch dutch oven, unless specified."

I just got a dutch oven and haven't tried using it yet. My family does a lot of backpacking. We need to carry our ingredients for miles and sometimes keep them for days outside the refrigerator. Every dutch-oven recipe book I've seen and every recipe I've found online calls for fresh meat, fresh eggs, and other ingredients that aren't practical to carry on the trail. Can you reccommend recipes that use dehydrated ingredients that backpackers would be able to carry?

I am having so much fun with my new cook book. I love love love the lasagna and have made it four times this summer. I've also made the PECS, Bacon Spuds,Bacon Wrapped Chicken Nuggets, Chicken Pot Pie, Fizzy Fruit Cobbler and Sweet Cornbread. The potatoes got rave reviews. I have been trying to make potatoes like that for so long. The Cornbread is also a favorite. I get to get another Dutch soon. Our friend brought his and we paired up to make bread to go with the lasagna, and we made the potatoes and cornbread to go with our fresh caught fish. So yummy! Our friend also has three other cook books. I still like yours the best! So simple and the photos for each recipe are so great.

@Chrstina - Hey, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for the comment.

Dutch oven dude, love you cook book!

I am looking for a chicken and rice recipe I think you used to have on your site. I can't seem to find it. The only part I can remember is toasting the rice with bacon to start and then adding remaining ingredients. Did I get this recipe from you or someone else? If it was you could you please share again? Thank you sir!

Any experience with Corned Beef and Cabbage?

@BR - Must have been somewhere else. Sorry.



@Lynn - Yes, my only experience is that I don't care for cabbage. :-) So, I don't have a recipe for it, but any normal oven recipe works just fine in a dutch oven.

I have just started dutch oven cooking this year. I just ordered your cookbook. Are the recipes that are found here on your website also in your cookbook? Also thank you for all the great looking recipes here I am excited to try them.



Wish me luck!



Rick

@Rick - Some of the recipes here are in the cookbook, but not all of them. I'm making Enchiladas tomorrow night. :-)

Just learning to use Dutch ovens. Would love your book

I just wanted to say thanks Dude! We camp a lot and use a Dutch oven almost exclusively for about 8 years now. Your book and website is awesome for all of our meal planning. My family always compliments my cooking and brags about how good of a camp chef I am! We never have any leftovers and the servings are spot on. I can’t imagine camping without my DO- so many people around us were just having hot dogs and hamburgers all weekend. I hope you have plans to publish a new book with more recipes and include all the ones from this website. Thanks for all the great meals - my family and friends Thank you too!

I have heard about folks using a metal pan (set atop a few pebbles so it is not in direct contact with the bottom of the DO) to hold food while it is cooking. Can Pyrex be used?

@John - I'd never use glass outdoors and I'd never use glass in a dutch oven. The risk of thermal shock breaking the glass is too high.

I expect you could use Pyrex as you describe - much like placing it inside a kitchen oven - but I would stick with a much safer pie tin.

Ive made soooo many of these recipes! been a fan for a long time. ill send you some of my own recipes once i get them just right. today its bourbon street chicken in my 12 inch dutch... more to come soon on that one. Thank you for the site and cook on!!
