How many use Dutch ovens for cooking while camping?

We have them in South Africa and I realy enjoy using mine over some good bushveld wood coals.

Yep, started using one a few years ago when my son started Cub Scouting. My favorite dish so far is a quick and easy peach cobbler using home-canned peaches. Mmm, mmm, good.

Don't laugh, but when I was taking my kids camping (a few years ago now) I of course wanted to make the peach cobbler recipe where you use cake mix and canned peaches and I found a pyrex dutch oven for a couple dollars in a second hand store. I bought it figuring if it worked once I'd be happy and big surprise but it does a great job with the bonus that everyone can see the stuff cooking inside. If I ever break this one I'll be replacing it with another pyrex one.


for every hour in front of the computer you should have 3 hours outside

LOVE cooking in dutch ovens. A spill over from my Boy Scout days. I've a few cast iron ones for out of doors, and a few enameled ones for indoors. Did a braised leg of lamb and provencal style white beans a few weeks ago in two of them.

I have Dutch ovens from 5" to 16" and cook with them regularly. Just returned from a scout camp out. One of the boys in the troop made the comment he didn't eat as well at home.

Makes me realize I haven't cooked outside with one in a while. Use my inside Dutchie when I make chili.

I too haven't used one for years. I used it the most while camping in the scouts. We would make peach cobbler with bisquick. It was good, and I don't really care for peaches. Apple cobbler was my favorite. I have some fond memories of summer camp at Camp Ma Ka Ja Wan in Wisconsin.

Mix equal parts of honey, soy sauce, and chili sauce. Grease you oven with a thin layer of crisco and lay pork chops or chicken in the bottom of your oven and pour sauce over it. Cook for a little over an hour.

Also works well with an oven and an open skillet.

We use them for camping, and my mother and my wife used them in their kitchen, nothing cooks food as well, any ranch raised lady knows that..

I have a number of them, from 5" to 22". The 22" one is used for large gatherings or turkeys. I've cooked a 41 pound turkey in the thing; that's about as big as I could get in the pot. I use smaller ones (16") for other dishes such as scalloped potatoes, enchilada casserole, easy bake chicken meals, etc. They are a great way to cook in the house or outside!
