Benefits Of Dutch Oven Cooking

By Karl Westinghouse


When investing your money and time in something, you want to know it will be worth both, and this is a good thing. This means you won't let anyone take advantage of you or the money you worked for. When it comes to kitchenware, it is advisable to choose according to price, as it usually sets the standards. This goes for Dutch ovens as well. A Dutch oven is something that will definitely pay off as you use it, so be smart and choose well. If you know someone who's an experienced user of Dutch ovens, ask for advice, although most people recommend a simple cast iron Dutch oven.

If you're thinking about buying a Dutch oven, you'll have quite a few choices to make. The first is to decide which type you want. There are cast iron ones, aluminum ones, enameled cast iron ones, and so on. Enameled Dutch ovens have one good side, and that is the fact that you won't have to season them when you buy them. However, keep in mind that enamel is not suitable for high temperatures, so say goodbye to deep frying if you decide to get an enameled one.

Making food in Dutch ovens has many benefits, but requires patience, seen as only the process of cleaning has two steps, as it mustn't be washed, or, god forbid, put in a dishwasher. One of the great benefits of having a Dutch oven in the kitchen is the fact that it is very suitable for use outside, like when you're camping. It is heavy to carry, but once your stew or meat with vegetables are done, you won't regret carrying it.

One can really easily benefit from buying a Dutch oven. Keep in mind you can buy them in stores, and online as well. Experienced chefs recommend buying Dutch ovens made of cast iron, as they are traditional and supposedly best. One of their features are the fact that they retain heat for an insanely long period of time, and also excellently stand high temperatures. The fact that they retain heat for this long means that you won't have to heat the food up, which is, according to some researches, very unhealthy.

Seen as we live in a really fast world, in the world of fast food, fast decisions, fast cars, cell phones and time, it is understandable why people cannot spend hours and hours in the kitchen making one meal. Using a Dutch oven in a kitchen really is a unique experience, and everything that comes out of it (bread, pies, sour, stews, meat or fish) has exceptional taste. However, cleaning a Dutch oven properly takes time. This is why many decide to go with enameled Dutch ovens, which, if of high quality, can even be used in dishwashers. True Dutch oven lovers tough, disagree that enameled ones are real ones.

If you know anything about Dutch ovens, you probably know they're suitable for different uses, like when camping and when at home, and this is one of their great benefits. An even better benefit is the fact that they are accustomed for both uses. When you use them on the stove or in the oven, you can use them safely, because they have heat proof handles, and when you use them outside, their lid has a lip, so the coals wont fall and will keep the food warm on top as well.
