Until recently, I didn’t know what a Dutch oven was. When I first heard the term, I admit to doing a quick online search because, being a keen cook and baker, I felt a bit ignorant not knowing. Then, I realized I’d been using one for years, but I called it a cast-iron pan. Mystery solved.
A Dutch oven is an indispensable piece of cookware in the kitchen, and I wouldn’t be without mine. So, for you to benefit too, here I explain what a Dutch oven is and how you can make the most of one in your kitchen.
