And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I've used mine successfully for years, as you can see below. It's useful to be able to pile coals on the lid.
You bet. 450 oven, 20 minutes covered, 22 minutes uncovered. Then half an hour in a 325 oven to fully bake high hydration dough and develop a weapons grade crust.
Use mine for roasting meats to baked beans. Particularly favor building a fire pit, build up nice bed of coals, scoop enough out to fit the oven, cover it with rest of coals, some fresh hardwood over that, for the smoke flavor that adds to what cooking, with beans like to leave those going all day, of course with lots of bacon or salt pork and dark maple syrple, that way they are ready for dinner time. No other method comes close to how fabulous tasting what you cooked comes out. Really don't matter what you put in, comes out fantastic, from chicken to corned beef. Started using dome scrap iron and sections of old chain in with the coals seems to increase cooking heat time a bit more.
I have a 10" that I use to bake bread in the oven, I have to heat the pan before I put the dough in.

My wife used one with a glass lid to make bread. I challenged her to enter it at the county fair. She won the blue ribbon!

ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like folks hanging around the campfire on a cool evening while a nice cobbler slowly bakes in the Dutch oven. Good times!
ReplyDeleteSome mighty fine looking food there. Thanks for the heads up, y'all!
