What is a "Dutch oven"?
A Dutch oven is a heavy cooking pot with thick walls and a tight-fitting lid, typically made of cast iron or enameled cast iron. It is versatile cookware that can be used for various cooking methods, including braising, stewing, frying, baking, and even deep-frying. Dutch ovens are valued for their ability to retain heat and distribute it evenly, making them ideal for slow cooking and simmering dishes. They are suitable for use on stovetops, in ovens, and even over open flames, making them popular for both indoor and outdoor cooking.
