Dutch ovens

Best Camping Gear Reviews loves Dutch ovens. For those of you that don't know what a Dutch oven is, 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, and as a "casserole dish" in British English. Dutch ovens are very common as camping gear and camping equipment.

There are many Dutch oven manufactures. Perhaps the best Dutch oven manufacture is Lodge Logic. Lodge Logic makes several good Dutch ovens in different sizes. The most popular Lodge Logic Dutch oven is the 6 quart model. The Dutch oven is made of cast iron for added durability, but is a bit on the heavy size as a result of the cast iron. The Lodge Logic Dutch oven can be purchased at your local camping gear stores such as R.E.I. or Cabelas.

Best Camping Gear Reviews has recently added a section to the camping equipment site specifically for Dutch oven recipes. As time passes, Best Camping Gear Reviews will have chicken, meat, desert, and many more Dutch oven recipes listed. If you have a favorite Dutch oven recipe, please email it to us.
