I assume both are home use rather than camping. If you cook it in a pot or bake it in the over, you can use the Dutch oven. So.... generic type ideas... Stovetop gumbo soups beans posole rojo pot roast stews Oven cobblers fritatas meat loaf cornbread bake bread so seriously, if you have a recipe, try in the dutch oven
July 30, 20187 yr It's a long process, but Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon recipe makes heavy use of a dutch oven and is absolutely delicious. Peeling those pearl onions sucks.
July 30, 20187 yr Author Started these an hour ago. Two hours to go. Fuck it no class until 1. Edited July 30, 20187 yr by Hank_Hill
July 30, 20187 yr Girlfriend bought a new Lodge dutch oven that we used this weekend when we were camping. Made beer bread, garlic parmesan potatoes, and a blackberry/peach cobbler. I was a little nervous about using it for the first time on the trip but everything turned out really good. Plus, it was kind of cool using campfire coals as the heat source.

July 30, 20187 yr Author Yea it was so basic had my doubts. Turns out pork doesn’t need much help being delicious
July 30, 20187 yr I did a Mexican pot roast a couple weeks ago. Really easy. Usually serve it on tortillas, but this last time my daughter and I made cornbread waffles.
July 30, 20187 yr for the cast iron - if you have a gas range - best way to cook red meat. ribeyes, lamb steaks, pork chops, etc. for the enamel, stews a nice. braising always nice. look up some nice meat and veggies braises for the enamel. save the stock for bonus wins.
July 30, 20187 yr Made this schweinebraten in my enamel dutch oven yesterday: Used this recipe as a go-by (didn't use leeks, changed proportions a bit on some other stuff, but generally followed the technique). It was out-fucking-standing. http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/authentic-schweinebraten-german-pork-roast-bavarian-style-446331

If you simmer the pork chunks in the dutch oven, eventually the liquid cooks off, leaving behind the fat. Crisp the chunks in the dutch oven in that fat. It requires attention to the pot as the last liquid dissolves....but man, it's good stuff.
July 30, 20187 yr Author That was all dutch. Just put it in that dish for pulling. Few bits were over done (oh no crispy pork) but overall pretty much perfect.
July 30, 20187 yr That's impressive. I'll have to try that for one of the tailgates this year. Usually I just smoke a pork shoulder but the crispy carnitas texture is >>>>>

Peeling those pearl onions sucks. Dutch oven is perfect for any meats like short ribs or shanks that need to be browned or seared before slowly braising. Not gonna post recipes, but usually after the meat searing, you take the meat aside and saute the aromatics in the pan juices until soft, add back the meat and other veggies and wine/stock and finish in a slow oven for many hours until the meat is tender. Then pull the meat and reduce the stock until it reaches the desired viscosity. Don't salt or season before that point or you will be screwed with a sauce that is way too salty. Not to hijack, but an Insta-pot or an electric pressure cooker does this kinda stuff really well, too.

July 31, 20187 yr I only use our dutch oven when we camp and it's been a while but from what I remember: Stew meat Can of golden mushroom soup Beef broth or water, whatever you have Can of tomato paste Whatever veggies you like: celery, jalapeno, carrots, onion, garlic, potato Whatever seasonings you feel like, you can't screw this up. Cook it for many several hours and it'll be good as fuck

Not quite as good, but took about 2.5 hours instead of 6.
July 31, 20187 yr Cherry chocolate dumP cake (not dumb) 1 box Devil's food cake mix (I usually add a teaspoon of shredded coconut and tell diners that "It looks like weevils got into the cake mix.") 1 can of red cherries in syrup 20 oz bottle of cherry coke Pour cherries into Dutch oven, sprinkle cake mix over the cherries (with or without weevils), and pour on the cherry coke. I've only done this on raft trips with a 12" Dutch, but this is the charcoal distribution: 5 or 6 underneath the oven, 20 on the outside rim of the lid, and 3 or 4 on the middle the rim
