Benefits of Having Your Own Dutch Oven

 

There are several kitchenware that’s being sold in the market, one of which is the Dutch oven. It is a pot made up of different materials—it can be ceramic, aluminum, stainless steel, or the most common, cast iron. Those that are made up of cast iron are heavier than our average pots, but the bright side to this is that cast irons are capable of holding onto more heat and are good at spreading the heat evenly. This, by itself, is already very advantageous. To put it simply, Dutch ovens are one of the most versatile cooking pots in the market, and we’ll prove it to you in this article where AllHome will be sharing with you the benefits of having a Dutch oven in your home by looking at the different methods of cooking you can do with just one Dutch oven.

Frying 

Fried chicken and lechon kawali are two examples of deep fried foods that can cause so much oil splatters, but we’d endure that because deep fried foods are one of the best foods in the world. Thankfully, with the tallness and even heat spread given by a Dutch oven, frying foods won’t be very messy. 

Cooking Soups, Stews, or Chilis

In cooking soups, stews, or chili, Dutch oven is also a perfect candidate. With its ability to retain heat, the intensity of the flavors in your ingredients will definitely come forth. Any type of soup or stew can be done in a Dutch oven, however, if yours is made out of cast iron, it will be best if you avoid using tomato or wine based soups with it as the cast iron and the acid from tomato or wine might mix.

Roasting 

Again, with the Dutch oven’s ability to keep the heat in, it is great for roasting foods. Aside from the fact that it can slowly cook your food in low heat, a large Dutch oven can fit a whole chicken and have it roasted in an hour and a half, so if you’re craving for a roast chicken, yet don’t have access to stores that sell one, then you can easily make your own at home. Additionally, after roasting your chicken, the drippings it left in your pot can be turned into a delicious sauce.

Making Casseroles and Lasagnas

Making casserole and lasagnas in a pot? It’s possible with a Dutch oven! You can put in many layers of cheese, pasta, or other ingredients, and the Dutch oven will definitely have them evenly cooked leaving no portion of the layer raw.

Breaking Bread

The most amazing thing that can be produced with a Dutch oven is probably bread. It is common knowledge that doughs need to be kneaded before they can successfully become bread. However, in the last few years, the recipe of no-knead bread has become a popular dish and this can be achieved with a Dutch oven. So if you’re feeling creative with your Dutch oven and would love to have some bread, you can try making one with it.

Making Desserts

Meal times will never be complete without a dessert. It’s not all the time when you have fruits on your table or ice cream in your refrigerator to end a meal, and it can somehow be disappointing to our stomach when there’s no dessert. Well, with a Dutch oven, you can make many desserts like a skillet cookie, and it’s actually really simple! Just put your cookie dough in your Dutch oven and bake it until it’s golden. Top it with marshmallows and chocolates, if you have,, and done! You have a chocolate marshmallow skillet cookie. 

With the wide range of recipes that can be achieved with a Dutch oven, AllHome believes that it should find itself on the wishlists of every home chef anywhere. A versatile kitchenware that can withstand high heats, be used on top of a stove or in an oven, and tends to produce rich flavored meals due to its ability to exhaust the flavors of your ingredients–definitely a must buy! So, if you’re someone who is passionate about cooking and is ready to take their culinary skills to another level, then a Dutch oven will be worth your money and might just become your next best friend in the kitchen.
