Prized for its perfect heat distribution and outstanding thermal efficiency, cast iron represents chef-cred status for today's cooking enthusiasts. Cast iron is perhaps best known as the "natural non-stick" alternative to commercial non-stick cookware. Some non-stick coatings may emit toxic chemicals, while cast iron offers potential health benefits such as supplementing dietary iron intake.

With this book, you'll learn how to use a Dutch oven in your kitchen or over hot coals to bake breads and desserts, simmer soups, or roast meats and vegetables!

With new meal ideas and new color photography, Dutch Oven & Cast Iron Cooking, Revised & Expanded Edition offers complete instructions for using the classic Dutch oven to cook mouthwatering food that practically slides out of the pan.

More than 100 recipes are provided for breakfast, breads, main dishes, side dishes, and desserts. Also included are valuable tips for seasoning, cleaning, drying and storing cast iron cookware.

Cast iron skillets, Dutch ovens, and griddles are so durable, they can be passed down through generations of cooks. Versatile enough to go from stovetop to oven, cast iron works equally well on grills and over campfires—and cleanup is a breeze. Start skillet meals on your stovetop and finish cooking them in the oven, or heat up the griddle for a quick and easy breakfast.

Perfect for any camping enthusiast, most of the recipes in this book include instructions for both indoor and outdoor cooking methods—including recipes especially for pie irons!
