Only thing is, you can't put the water in it, and walk away and forget it. One day in water, and you will find yourself re-seasoning in a hurry!

For those interested in learning more, and with great recipes and links, go to the International Dutch Oven Society's site at: www.IDOS.com

I found that site in the 1990's while a scout leader, and doing a lot more dutch oven cooking than I currently do. Haven't looked at it in a couple of years. It appears that it may be a pay site to get to most of the good stuff. That's a shame. But if you are really into Dutch Oven cooking, it is probably well worth the price!

I recently acquired to cast iron dutch ovens never actually cooked in one so I have some research to do.

with about 5 various sized skillets and about 10 Fajita cast iron Fajita serving pans. I snugged a couple of those
and secreted them away to the house before the lot turns into a rusty pile of fused metal. hehe.

Nice Snags!
