You will need to ask the Master, AKA Mr British Red, he knows the best way, I think it involves ovens and bacon fat

sorry guys but one more question and then i will be able to season and then cook with them, thanks for help so far. Now then on the instructions supplied by both BR and the web page that mad dave supplied it says to use conola and Crisco oil but can u use any cooking oil or are they the ones you have to use.

 

[Mesquite]

You can use any cooking oil to season them Drew

Might be a bit obvious, but it says on the original link that they are pre seasoned! so in theory you should be able to use them straight out of the box - but then i am no expert

 

[Shewie]

A tin of corned beef, cubed
3 Tatties, chopped
1 Leek, chopped
1 Carrot, chopped
1 bottle of Newcy Brown
1/2 pint of beef stock
2 beef oxo cubes, crumbled over the mix

The Pre-seasoning is mainly to stop them rusting before they are sold, I'd never cook in a dutch without scrubbing off whatevery 'it' is they coat it with, and seasoning it (at least three times)
I think the first meal cooking in a new Dutch should be something that takes a long time (three hours Plus) I did a Cassoulet, using Belly pork, chicken, and wild boar sausage.
