Camping essentials for dutch oven recipes:

• I love using this Lodge Cast Iron Skillet for all of my sauteing.
• These silicone tongs are perfect for flipping and grasping hot food.
• This 9QT Overmont Dutch Oven is my favorite for one pots style meals over the fire.
• These long handled wooden utensils make stirring easy and they don’t melt or get too hot!
• This cast iron scrubber set is perfect for safely cleaning your cast iron.

Tips for cooking with cast iron:

• When cooking with cast iron, be sure to season the surface first.
• Always use gloves or oven mitts while cooking as the surface of the iron will be hot.
• Cook the recipe over an open fire using hot coals, not open flames.  A fire that is too hot will burn the outside of your recipe and not cook the inside.
• Be sure to clean the cast iron with a rough vegetable scrubber, rinse and dry thoroughly before storing.
