NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH - DAY 22

The power has gone out and you don't have a clue how to cook if you don't have your grill.  Learning to cook with a dutch oven gives you a lot of options that you may not realize.

Have you ever cooked a meal by using a dutch oven? This is a cooking vessel that is made to be used on a stove top or placed in a standard oven. If you are looking for a fun way to cook food at home or out on a fun camping trip, then dutch oven cooking might be ideal.

Dutch oven cooking is similar to cooking food wrapped in tin foil on a campfire. Food is placed inside the dutch oven that is then heated by placing it on hot coals. This means you can use a simple campfire or the charcoal grill found in a lot of state parks.

The most important thing to remember about dutch oven cooking is safety. Gloves will be essential for cooking with a dutch oven as the vessel will get extremely hot. The only other thing to keep in mind is the recipes you have to use for the meals you want to cook.
