*Shakes head* Aussies....whatcha gonna do? :P

Aliantha · 08-19-2009, 08:02 PM

Be very careful if you get into bed with one. That's what.

We call those pots camp ovens. They're good for making Damper.

ZenGum · 08-19-2009, 09:10 PM

Down here, a dutch oven involves several people, a large stash of weed, and a car with rolled up windows.

Aliantha · 08-19-2009, 09:25 PM

Yeah well, we have those up here too, but it can be a bit dangerous. It's not quite legal to smoke pot here.

ZenGum · 08-19-2009, 09:40 PM

Not "quite" legal here either.

And now we have driver drug testing, which frankly I support. Driving should be taken seriously.

Aliantha · 08-19-2009, 09:59 PM

agreed.

The correct term for that is hotboxing

Kidney stones?

I know a "hot box" when I see one. That is no hot box.

No no no nonononononono! hotbox is where they train the firefighters. They light a big fnckoff fire in a container and then send a firefighter in there to see if he can come out again. If they don't come out they don't make the grade ...

I clean my cast iron by sprinkling with salt and rubbing with foil... I wipe it down with a cloth and use another cloth to apply another layer of oil.

JuancoRocks · 08-24-2009, 04:14 AM

Burlap works well and does not interfere with the seasoning patina on well used cast iron.

Here's a few of my cast iron skillets and dutch ovens.......I collect Griswold's and others.

Dutch ovens were imported from Europe 300 years ago and sold to American colonists by English, Dutch, and German traders.

George Washington fed his army from Dutch ovens. Paul Revere is credited for developing the flanged lid. Lewis and Clark carried Dutch ovens as they explored and mapped the West, and Dutch ovens were used by "forty-niners" for baking sourdough bread during the California goldrush.

Pooka · 08-25-2009, 09:19 AM

Wow!!! Do you use them all or display them? I've never seen so many in one place outside of a specialty kitchen store.
