Dutch Oven Champs

Trix4me · Mar 23, 2010

Just read about the IDOS competition. WOW! I consider myself a pretty good cook with a Dutch Oven, but I've not attempted anything like most of those recipes. How many MMers are Dutch Oven Cooks? What is your favorite recipe/menu/specialty?

Here is the link from the Deseret News:

Wow is right. I can barely cook that in a conventional oven at home, and I dont consider myself a very good cook with a dutch oven but I sure like to try. Swiss steak is always an easy one for me as well as a half of backstrap wrapped in bacon then finished off with 1 cup sugar,1 cup ketchup,3/4 can coke (mixed well) and let cook 45 more minutes. Even my wife and motherinlaw eat that, and neither one of them eat any wild game.

I'm not that extravagent. I'm more of a cowboy cooker than a gourmet chef when it comes to DO cookin'. I like to stay close to the traditions of the pioneers. I make a mean apple cobbler in my DO. I also make a damn good mexican meat pie. No I'm not cooking mexicans, I use mexican steak instead of burger and I use alot of fresh chilis and various types of mexican cheeses in the batter that's used for the topping. That's my very own creation as far as I know. Buddy it is good.

I LOVE THESE RECIPES AND HAVE A QUESTION ON A PRODUCT.

DOES ANYONE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE DUCH OVEN LINERS THAT THEY SELL. THEY LOOK LIKE THE CLEAN UP WOULD BE MUCH FASTER!

HAVE ONLY TRIED A FEW TIMES WITH THE "DUCH" AS I AM USUALLY HUNTING AND NOT TAGGED OUT LATE IN THE TRIP.

HAD GOOD REVIEWS FROM MY CORISH GAME HENS WITH MANDERIAN
ORANGES AND RUSSIAN SALID DRESSING. ALSO HAD THE CAJUN HOLY TRINITY THAT IS:ONION,GARLIC, AND BELL PEPPER. CHICKEN BROTH AND
THE USUAL TONI C'S OR LIKE SEASONING - A FINE GRAVY CAN BE MADE FROM THE DRIPPINGS AND WORKS OVER RICE,SPUDS, OR PASTA

I WILL BE BACK TO THIS TOPIC WHEN I HAVE MORE TIME!

LaGriz,

We used them on a trip we went on a few weeks ago. They worked well as far as I could tell, and yes, clean up was a breeze! We made main dishes, sides and desserts using them and really could not tell a difference in taste, texture etc...

Definitely worth a shot if you ask me.
