Mav, A couple of things on cast iron and Dutch ovens: Cast iron is great because of its tremendous ability to retain heat. Thus, once it is hot, it is hard to cool it down. Start super cautious and bring the temp up slowly. When using the dutch oven lid, get a metal rod with a crook and also a hot glove. Those things are always messy but also dangerously hot. Be careful man. Finally, there are some times when having a super hot piece of metal is awesome: steak, hamburgers, pizza. Also on the opposite end, get it hot then remove it from the fire to do a slow cook like a stew. use only the coals on the lid to keep the simmer going. Good Luck.

Best content on KZbin!! I remember when you were an intern for peric. Started from the bottom now your living the best life. Keep up the good work mav

[@jasonluchtel7974]

Must remember, cast iron always remains their heat longer than any other cookware. You don't have to cook on a flame until done, take it off the flame a little early and the cast iron will keep doing the cooking for you. One thing I do love about cast iron cookware is that it will last longer than you and also after use it creates a non stick surface better than any other cookware out there. Just don't clean it all the time with detergents and dawn soap, that takes away from the non stick surface you create. Best to wipe out an oily pan with a paper towel and store your cast iron away for another day. It's always best to have a little remaining oil in your cast iron.

[@mmurphy2317]

...and no one has mentioned "seasoning" the cast iron, which...if not "on the road" as Mav is..can be done with grapeseed oil...wipe on/wipe off...place in very warm oven...for 30-45 mins....remove...let cool down ...store.. use again....remove food..burn off what's left quickly...cool for 25 mins...wipe on/wipe off...g s oil...repeat above procedure about 4-5 uses, until cast iron has "built in" sheen....which when done properly leaves you with a professional cast iron cook's go to cookware...be it Dutch oven, frying pan, sauce pot...or other! You've done good for "on the road again" Mav....Happy trails!

[@huckleberrychris]

At subway, when I was a truck driver, I had them cut the footlong in 3 and wrap them separately. Easier to eat and handle while driving. All I use while camping is a Dutch oven, cast iron frying pan with lid...I love to cook and can do anything. And a small BBQ grill for everything else.

Try seasoning the dutch oven a couple times with oil and fire and you will form a nonstick coating and it will probably burn less on the bottom. Also season everytime after you use it to maintain a good coating. :)
