Interesting history of the Dutch Oven

The name Dutch Oven has been used for black iron cooking pots, kettles, and ovens over the last 300 years.

In 1704 a man by the name of Abraham Darby traveled from England to Holland to inspect a Dutch casting process by which brass vessels where cast in dry sand molds. Upon returning to England Darby experimented with the process and eventually patented a casting process using a better type of molding sand as well as a process of baking the mold to improve casting smoothness. Darby eventually began casting pots and shipping them to the new colonies and throughout the world. The name "Dutch Oven" may have derived from the original Dutch process for casting metal pots.

To this day the name "Dutch Oven" is applied to various black cast iron pots and skillets. The most common application of the name is to a cast iron pot or black iron with a flat bottom having three legs to hold the oven above the coals, flat sides and a flat, flanged lid for holding coals. These ovens have a steel bail handle attached to "ears" on each side of the oven near the top for carrying.

A well prepared meal from a Dutch Oven has a delicious flavor unmatched by most other cookware!
