Cooking, roasting, baking
You can use the Dutch Oven in the oven as well as over an open-air fire or with a suitable barbecue grill.
The various heat sources such as barbecue briquettes, charcoal or campfire embers do not necessarily
reach the same temperature. Furthermore, the Dutch Ovens with plane bottom surface (without feet)
are suitable for all types of stoves.
On a campfire
When using the Dutch Oven on a campfire, you have to try several options: Each type of wood creates
different embers an accordingly burns more or less quickly. When you place the Dutch Oven next to
the fire you can cook a few dishes with the heat that emanates from the fire. It is however essential to
turn the Dutch Oven regularly, so that it is evenly heated from all sides.
With briquettes
High-quality briquettes are easy to use and reliable. They mostly have a similar size and can store heat
for a long time. It is the easiest way for you to adjust the heat for your Dutch Oven.
The amount of briquettes that you need under the Dutch Oven and on the lid also depends on the
cooking methods. This is the rule for all Dutch Oven sizes:
• For simmering soup and stew: 1/3 of the briquettes on the lid and 2/3 under the Dutch Oven
• For baking bread and cakes: 2/3 of the briquettes on the lid and 1/3 under the Dutch Oven
The following table offers you information on the necessary amount of briquettes depending which
Dutch Oven you use. Here you can find the total amount of briquettes and how you should distribute
them on the cast-iron lid and underneath the Dutch Oven in order for your Dutch Oven to reach a
certain temperature.
