Kitchen Aid Cookware: Lodge Original Finish 6-Quart Cast-Iron Camp Dutch Oven Review

A dutch oven is one of the most versatile items you can find.Many people I know are intimidated by cooking with dutch ovens, but when you take a few minutes to learn how, you can use it to cook anything!It can be used with variety of foods: stews, cakes, cobblers, breads, poultry, vegetables (basically anything you make in a conventional oven).If you happen to forget to pack your skillet when you go camping, turn over the lid and put it back on the dutch oven.Voila!Instant skillet-type cooking surface!

Having used a variety of dutch ovens in my life, I can tell you for sure, Lodge dutch ovens are the best.They are durable and well-crafted.If you have ever had the experience of cooking with a dutch oven that was not a Lodge, you will know what I mean.

You should look for a dutch oven that has a lip on the lid for keeping coals on, and sturdy legs, to keep from crushing the coals.Lodge dutch ovens have these features, and are made of quality cast iron.Lodge also has many accessories for cooking, such as lid lifters and lid rests, inserts for muffins, etc.

Dutch ovens make a great gift for the camper in your life.Highly recommended!
