Customer Review: For Family Camping This 10 qt Ducth Oven Can't Be Beat !
Summary: 5 Stars
Camping with the family or in a large group can pose long cooking prep times possibly detracting from your enjoyment of your camp out. However, with this 10-qt Deep Camp Dutch Oven by Lodge not only can prep times be intergrated with other activities, but you can make anything in that oven that you can at home! YES, you can make anything in a Lodge 10-qt Dutch Oven that you can make at home, and make the portions needed for your family or group. My wife and I have been using Lodge Dutch Ovens to cook incredible and tasty meals on family and group camp outs for over 20 years, and still have our first oven up and going.
Cooking for two parents and four kids, or a large group is a snap. Stews, bisquits, bread, pasta dishes, that home spun spicy chili, soups, cassaroles, meat loaf and other meat dishes, baked egg dishes, pies, cobblers, you name it... and you can make it with this Dutch Oven, and make it in the quanity needed for your family or group. No one will go hungery with this large 10-qt Ducth Oven.
This cast iron item is made to very high standards of quality in materials and craftsmanship in manufacturing. In so, the oven is heavy and care should be used in lifting and moving it. The proper care of this cast iron oven is simple. DO NOT DROP it (it can crack), just hot water to clean, wipe dry and keep it seasoned. Also, the amount of coals (charcoal or wood) is much less than what you might think you may need. You DO NOT set the oven in a blazing fire or in a big deep bed of coals. This grossly excessive amount of heat will damage the oven, not to mention rendering your food as a black lump seared to the bottom. Only upwards to 40-ish charcoal bits are needed for an oven of this size. The instruction pamplete that comes with the oven clearly describes the amount of coals needed for different cooking situations. Please, take the time to read those directions. Should this care be maintained the oven will last a life time... several life times in fact.
Lodge also offers a cast iron lid lifter, a lid rest, and a trevit. I highly recommend that these items be purchased with the oven. The lid gets very hot (which also has coals on it)and the use of the lid lifter makes checking the food safe and easy. Also, when the lid must be lifted off of the oven to stir the food or add items you need to sit that heavy lid down somewhere. If you don't use the lid rest and use a rock, a table or bench you run the strong possibilty that some dirt, twigs, leaves, bugs or other crud may stick to the bottom of the lid and fall into the food when the lid is placed back onto the oven. Buy the lid lifter and lid rest to compliment this awesome Dutch Oven. Also, for cooking items that need to be lifted off the bottom or require air space under the food... get the cast iron trevit available from Lodge too. This is a great tool for cooking bread and bisquits in their own tins resting on the trevit.
All of Lodge's Ducth Ovens are made to the same high standards, but for a family or group camp out the large 10-qt Deep Ducth Oven is very well worth the investment. The use of smaller ovens for side dishes or for smaller meals is a good choice too. Many, many uses, ease in use, ease in clean up (as long as you don't burn your food to the bottom and sides with too much heat), ease in care, and long, long life... this item can't be beat. For cooking ideas there are scores of Dutch Oven Cook Books out there. Browse those cook books and buy one or two that you like. Practice cooking with the oven at home several times BEFORE you go on your outing, and in no time you will be a Dutch Oven "chef" creating wonderful meals for your family or group. Good eating equates to good camping ! Enjoy, and I'll see ya out there.
Description of Lodge Original Finish 10-Quart Deep Camp Dutch Oven
Original finish 10 qt deep camp dutch oven. The portable "camp stove" is the pot that does it all. Flanged lid for hot coals inverts for use as griddle. Integral legs on oven for campfire and fireplace cooking. 14" diameter, 5 " deep. To season, follow these easy directions - Wash with hot, soapy water and a stiff brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Spead a thin coat of solid shortening or vegetable oil over the entire pan including handles and exterior surfaces. Line the lower oven rack with aluminum foil to catch any drippings and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cookware upside down on middle rack of oven and bake for 1 hour. Turn off the oven, leaving the cookware in the oven until cool. Your cookware will look slightly brown, instead of the familiar black but it is ready for cooking. It will blacken with cooking.Dutch Ovens
