Dutch ovens were originally thick walled cast iron cooking pots with a tight fitting lid, which made them especially suitable for campfire cooking. Nowadays, they can be made of anything from Aluminum to ceramics, some are electric and some are even made for use on a stove range or in a regular oven. In the United Kingdom they are commonly known as "casserole dishes".
Dutch Oven Campfire Cooking
Dutch ovens designed for campfire cooking usually have three legs and a slightly convex lid. This is so they can be placed directly over the campfire, with coals placed on the lid to create more uniform internal heat. This effectively turns the Dutch oven into an oven. On the other hand, home-cooking Dutch ovens are usually smooth bottomed.
Whether you use your Dutch oven when you're outdoors or at home, or both, you'll find they are ideally suited for long and slow cooking recipes such as roasts, stews and casseroles.
