Cast-iron pans and Dutch ovens

Cast iron pans come in several varieties. For example, you can choose from a cast iron frying pan, wok pan, frying pan or even a poffertjes pan. They are available in different colours, shapes and sizes. Made of cast iron, they are very strong and can last a lifetime! Dutch ovens are a household name for the adventurous cook.

Why legs under the Dutch Oven?

The Dutch oven is a cast-iron cooking pot that owes its name to Dutch blacksmiths. The Dutch oven allows you to prepare delicious dishes and makes roasting, stewing and baking a breeze. There are Dutch ovens with or without feet and we are happy to explain the difference below:

Dutch Oven with legs

Because of its legs, the Dutch oven with legs stands more firmly in a campfire
The feet under the pan allow the coals underneath to get sufficient oxygen
This pan is less easy to use in the Kamado, on a grill rack or indoors in your oven or on the gas cooker

Dutch Oven without legs

The Dutch Oven without legs can also be used indoors in the oven or on your cooker
You can also use it better, for example in your Kamado barbecue or on a grill rack, as with a tripod
If you want to keep distance between your briquettes and the bottom of the pan, this is more difficult and you will need, for example, a trivet
