What is a Dutch Oven?

LOL! I didn't know a dutch oven was an alternative heating method (effective but smelly!).

Seriously, a dutch oven is a cast iron kettle. Sometimes it has a glass lid, other times it has a metal lid that you can shovel hot coals on. It's wonderful because it retains heat so well, and distributes it very nicely. It can work on the stove top or in the oven.

Le Crueset makes some really fancy and expensive ones. I got mine at an outlet store . . . either Corelle or Paul Revere . . . ages ago. Sometimes you can fiind them in camping stores.

A Dutch oven is a deep casserole used for boiling, making soup stock among others.

If you have already used a dutch oven ground casserole, use the same one to bake in your oven.

A dutch oven is where you fart in bed under the covers and pull the blanket over your girlfriends head.

Its when you let one go under the covers and then pull the sheet over your spouses head. Thats a dutch oven!

Here is a different kind http://www.amazon.com/Dutch-Ovens-Cookware-Baking-...

Its just an iron pot with a tight lid

A Dutch oven is a thick-walled iron (usually cast iron) cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid. It is commonly referred to as a 'camp oven' in the Australian bush, cocotte in French, as a 'casserole dish' in British English, and is similar to both the Japanese tetsunabe and the Sač IPA: [satʃ], a traditional Balkan cast-iron oven.

I believe a porcelain dish with a lid will suffice...

A dutch oven is when someone farts under the blankets in bed. (i think with someone else in the bed) Seriously, Its just some slang, AND IS NOT A COOKING TECHNIQUE.

i think a dutch oven is when you use a bottom pot that contains water.and the top pot has what you want to cook.hope this helps.

Its when someone farts under the blanket and traps you in it
