Let’s Go Dutch
You can prepare meals at camp a few different ways: by camp stove, open fire, charcoal grill, solar oven or Dutch oven.
Dutch ovens are heavy cast-iron pots that make baking outdoors easy. You can also steam, fry, sauté or boil food in them. Some Dutch ovens are made with aluminum, which makes them a lot lighter. The design of both is the same: a round pot with legs and a rimmed lid to hold hot coals.
This design lets you evenly cook by placing coals above and below the oven. You can adjust the temperature by adding or removing coals. For example, if you want to bake something at 350 degrees and you have a 12-inch Dutch oven, you put 17 coals
