Dutch Oven Baking: Getting to know the utensil

[Mesquite]

Jas Townsend has a new video out which is the start for a new series about getting the most from your Dutch Oven. It promises to be an interesting series and I thought folks might like to follow it as DO's are a popular baking utensil for bushcrafters

For those of you that don't know of Jas Townsend he specialises in historical cooking mainly focusing on 17th and 18th century recipes and styles and his videos are always extremely interesting and mouth watering

Info on the video

This is the first video in a short series on baking in a "Bake Kettle" or Dutch Oven. Today we experiment with getting this utensil to the correct temperature for baking. We finish the video off by baking a loaf of bread. The Dutch oven was perfectly suited for use on the frontier. One can fry in it, make stews and soups with it, as well as bake in it. While the first two cooking methods are fairly easy, baking with a Dutch oven can be a little intimidating. With a few hints and a little experimentation and practice, baking in this 18th-century pot can be easy and rewarding.

I've been following Jas Townsend for a while now, always find the videos interesting and though-provoking - I just wish I could remember some of the recipes whenever I go to the woods.

Cheers for the heads-up Steve
