The cast iron multi-talent, also known as the "Black Pot," which cowboys used to cook their baked beans in Western films, is becoming increasingly well-known and popular in the outdoor scene. And rightly so, as it can boil, fry, braise, smoke, bake, and much more. The Dutch Oven represents a slower pace of life, sociability, and fun outdoors over coals and fire. With it, BBQ classics like pulled pork, brisket, or layered meat, pasta and pizza, cowboy burritos with salsa sauce, sauerkraut casserole, bacon-wrapped dates, baked apples, bread, cakes, and even ice cream can be made. Carsten Bothe, an outdoor specialist, campfire cooking instructor, and Dutch oven pioneer, shares his expertise in this book with great passion and experience, covering everything from purchasing advice, seasoning, heat regulation, maintenance, and handling for all pot variants. He also provides readers with a variety of new recipes.
