JoeinAR 1,953 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 its my favorite cooking pot.I've got a nice rump roast going with carrots and onions. I will add potatoes later.I will still make mashed potatoes because gravy and mashed potatoes are a match made in heaven.And the smell of a roast makes the house smell wonderful.

JoeinAR 1,953 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 During the late 17th century, the Dutch system of producing these cast metal cooking vessels was more advanced than the English system. The Dutch used dry sand to make their molds, giving their pots a smoother surface. Consequently, metal cooking vessels produced in the Netherlands were imported into Britain. In 1704, an Englishman named Abraham Darby decided to go to the Netherlands to observe the Dutch system for making these cooking vessels. Four years later, back in England, Darby patented a casting procedure similar to the Dutch process and began to produce cast-metal cooking vessels for Britain and her new American colonies. Thus the term “Dutch oven” has endured for over 300 years, since at least 1710.it's part of your heritage my wooden shoes wearing friend. or would you prefer finger in a dyke friend?

I don't think I need a Dutch oven beyond that.my pressure cooker has plastic handles which are thermal treated to survive oven use, but I like my porcelain coated dutch oven. I've used it much more. It makes wonder Boston baked beans.I would like to use my pressure cooker more but I often forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,456 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It's big enough for a 2.5 lb roast (probably a bit bigger too) and a good bit of veggies and liquid of course. I only cook for myself, sometimes my girlfriend or a coworker who stays over, so it's a good size.While I have used it for pasta, beef roasts, and venison roasts, my favorite (and continually successful) meal is a pork tenderloin with sauerkraut and smoked sausage.

gkgyver 1,647 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 So Germany, a nation famous for its sausages doesnt do that?No.In some Bavarian regions, the tradition of bavarian veal sausage breakfast is still held up. But not more than that. We are no elaborate breakfast people. Jam, marmelade, bread, cheese, maybe some ham or muesli.Sausages are mostly a dish in its own right where I come from. A specialty of our region is bratwurst cooked in a vegetable broth with a large dose of vinegar and juniper. Usually served with bread and butter. My mom would kill for it.

Jay 39,156 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Tonight we'll be having sweet potato and chorizo soup. I assembled everything in the slow cooker around 10am this morning. Our kitchen smells awesome right now. It will be ready around 6 tonight, though we have to carefully blend it first since it will be hot and we don't have a handheld stick blender, just a small food processor.
