I cook almost 100% in cast iron. If you are buying new, make sure to only purchase Lodge Logic. It is the only brand left that is made in the USA. All the other brands are made in China and are made from lighter, cheaper materials. They warp very easily and your food will always stick. You can't believe the weight difference between "Browning" brand and Lodge. Plus coming from China, you never know for sure where they got the recycled metal used to make it (I always imagine them using metal from a de-commissioned nuclear reactor. LOL.).

If you are buying used, you can buy Griswold (but most are antiques and expensive), Wagner, or Wagner 1891. I have at least one item from each of them.

Just my $.02

Good advice :thumbsup You definitely want to oil after each use. I use veg oil (no olive oil because it has a low burn temperature). It works great to heat the cast iron item a little before you put the oil on. The oil really soaks into the pores as the metal cools.

Cooking with cast iron is a little more work (like charcoal bbq), but it is worth it in the end. Enjoy!!

I have been doing a peach cobbler and a caramel apple crisp the cobbler seems to be the fav right now and it's the easy'er of the two.

Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler
12" DO
2- Large cans of sliced peaches
1- Yellow cake mix
1- Stick of butter
Cinnamon.


Drain syrup from peaches and put them in first
Spread cake mix over peaches
Sprinkle cinnamon over mix
Cut butter into pats and lay them on top spaced kinda evenly
Bake with about about 16 coals bottom and 10 on top
40 to 50 min

Enjoy!

Splash some Southern Comfort over the top of the exact recipe and you have a southern classic.

The Staub 2.25 Quart Round Cocotte is a good size for feeding two people and runs around $80. Even though they don?t call it a Dutch oven, don?t worry: it?s the same thing. What?s different about Staub is that they put bumps on the underside of the lid that allow any condensation to drip back onto the food. I use my Staub the same way I use all my cast iron Dutch ovens and haven?t noticed any difference one way or the other from the ?flavor spikes.?

We usually cook at least one dish in the dutch oven every trip. My daughter has become quite the desert queen. Be careful though it seems once you get one they multiply lol.

Yes. I started with 1 dutch oven. Now I have 4 dutch ovens, 5 skillets, 4 cornbread pans, and a flat round thing I use for tortillas.

Did some home made chilli in the 12" and cornbread in the 10" a few weeks back. Big hit with the family!
