As a Dutch person i felt obligated to teach everyone a bit more about our famous Dutch Oven. Since everyone is saying they should give their spouse a Dutch Oven i can only concur that you should! Dutch Ovens are great!!
Generally a cast iron pot is used and put over a campfire or on a grill. You out some hot timber on the lid to make heat it up more evenly. Or you can just hang it on a tripod. If you wanna use a conventional oven you can also use aluminum or ceramic pots.
Look at that!! This is what you treat someone too!
Pastries in a Dutch oven? No problem!!
Chicken? No problem!
Perfect cuisine!!
As you can see a Dutch Oven isn't that hard to work with. So go treat your spouse on an authentic Dutch Oven! They deserve it!

always better over a campfire

My wife appreciates it when I use the Dutch Oven to its fullest potential. The aroma has even woken her up!
FrozenFoodGuy
You're a great husband! I don't understand why people show so much hate towards Dutch Ovens. It comes in so many flavors and cuisines!
BlackWolfLeon
What about German ovens?
firagablitz
When cooking with a Dutch Oven with your SO, do you recommend beans?
FrozenFoodGuy
Definitely! I make a lot of bean dishes myself! You can add some chili for extra aroma and flavor.

How do you get your wife's head in there without the farts escaping?
FrozenFoodGuy
Well when you're cooking a Dutch Oven you obviously put the lid on first to make sure everything is inside. Then you heat it up!

I'm Dutch. Never heard of this though...
FrozenFoodGuy
Here we mostly use the ceramic ones or the enameled pots known as braadpannen. Great for making roasts or stews!

I was hoping to see the bedroom dutch oven at the end of this.
FrozenFoodGuy
I do not recommend setting up a campfire in the bedroom. Unless you live in a mansion and have a fireplace there.
Rysty
Just a silly name for a cast iron pot. TIL absolutely nothing of interest.
rankiniv42
I’d call the three-legged ones camp ovens. You can flip them over and set the lid on the legs as a griddle. And they’re good for pizza.

The smell that comes from the Dutch oven is the best part.
rayeofsunshine
I have a Dutch oven. It will be willed to my daughter.
FrozenFoodGuy
That's great!! I'm using the one my grandfather passed on to me.
Noob3rts
As a Canadian with a Dutch mother and Dutch family, yes yeS YES. THE FOOD IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOD.
TheBluePowerRanger
I once gave my wife a Dutch oven and she actually threw up. It was one of my proudest moments.
IWasToldThereWasCake
In South Africa we use these. Hard to beat a Potjiekos. The food that comes out of these things is brilliant
0atmealTears
Takes an hour and a half to clean though. And you gotta do it every time, minimum of half an hour after cooking. You just gotta

I'm Dutch. I know what a 'Dutch Oven' is, but i've never seen anyone use such a cooking pot in the Netherlands in whole my life.
thatbeardedswede
I guess you have seen a braadpan. That's it, but unlike most of the other things you have, that one has developed through time.
FrozenFoodGuy
It's an old cooking technique. These days we just use ceramic or aluminum pots in a normal over for stews. Still used outdoors tho.
MotherflippersThinkEverythingIsAMotherflippingJoke
I got one for Christmas. I love it.
BoozeHound001
So do they smell like farts?
FrozenFoodGuy
I guess that depends on what you've been eating...
jeandolly
I'm dutch. Never ever have seen one of these... Must be a 17th century thing.
FrozenFoodGuy
It's indeed an old cooking technique. These days we just use ceramic or aluminum pots in a normal over for stews. Still used outdoors tho.
kekron
My boy scout experiences taught me that everything tasted better out of a dutch oven. Such good food was had.
TheWanderer22
Amen. We use to make pizza that was fantastic
coolguysdontlookatexplosives
Agree. Dutch oven pizza was a classic in my troop.
KanyesGayFish
So isn't it just a crock pot?
FrozenFoodGuy
I once made rabbit this way for Christmas. Was the best Christmas meal i ever ate! Used a conventional oven though, not a campfire.
asificareokido
My Polish great grandmother made a delicious fried rabbit in a cast iron skillet! Memories!
CooCooCaChew
Ah Cast Iron ... great food and a workout while you cook
ExpertWhale
Cobbler, peach cobbler, blueberry cobbler. Soo delicious.

make sure you clean that shit out after or you're going to be sad. Source d.o. left in car all summer

There is more than one definition of a "Dutch oven".
ImADerpskiDog
It's where you pull the blankets over your partners head then fart.
FrozenFoodGuy
That doesn't seem like an efficient way to cook. Now i'm always interested in new techniques, so if you got any recipes maybe?
HessianGhost
First, make you some chili in that fancy cookpot of yours...
CantankerousNarwhal
Everyone knows a Dutch oven is when you're in bed with someone and you fart then pull the covers over their head and trap them in there
Hapsnap
As a Dutch person : I don't think that this kind of Dutch oven is a thing in Holland
FrozenFoodGuy
As a Dutch person i can tell you we know them as braadpannen en they are great for roasts and stews! Either on the stove or in the oven.

No advanced chemistry needed! Just torch everything up with the lid closed!

Wut, Dutch ovens are actually Dutch? Most of the stuff with proper names aren't really from the place. Canadian bacon? Nope, just ham.
5knotcans
Or the terrible lie that it is right and fitting to die for ones country and "french fries".
TonninStiflat
They are not. Wikipedia tells you the full story.
FrozenFoodGuy
Allow me to provide the link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_oven
TonninStiflat
A marketing trick, based on them having been better quality in the 18th century. ;)
FrozenFoodGuy
I'm not saying you're wrong! I merely provided the link. My post was meant both humorous and culinary, allot of people understood the joke.
FrozenFoodGuy
Yup they are! We used to have allot of marshland before we changed it into cultivated land. Dutch ovens were widely used!
FrozenFoodGuy
Why am i being downvoted? I'm not bullshitting here... check the provided wiki link in the other comment.
iforgotwhatiwasdoinghere
The wiki article says they aren't used in the Netherlands, at least not what you picture in your post.
FrozenFoodGuy
You are correct! We use (hope i translated this correct) enameled pots here, and generally people do it on a stove or in a conventional oven
FlyingDutchGirl
As a Dutch person; I have never heard of nor seen this kind of Dutch oven...
FrozenFoodGuy
They aren't used much anymore these days. Generally people now use ceramic or aluminum pots in a conventional oven. This is more outdoorsy.
iforgotwhatiwasdoinghere
Wikipedia tells us they are called braadpan now.
FlyingDutchGirl
Ah, the braadpan, got me one of those
FrozenFoodGuy
Of course you do! Every Dutch person should have one! I even own two of these braadpannen!!
FlyingDutchGirl
I don't think I know anyone who hasn't got one. I guess my next goal in life would be a second braadpan.
kgliucat
Literal Dutch Ovens are good ways to cook food while "Dutch ovens" are good ways to cook your SO.
noboruryu
I call it hotboxing not a Dutch oven.

Definitely not brave or stupid enough to click that link now
FrozenFoodGuy
I was! Worth it! Very informative video on how to cook with one of these.
Elephanthead
Can you roast your SO too?
FrozenFoodGuy
I'm not sure if is legal to cook your SO. Though they say human meat tastes sweet.. Still, i don't think it's a nice thing to do to your SO!
Cal1te
Oh I think your thinking of a Deutsch oven.
IStillGiveOutDickPics
According to cannibals, Human flesh taste like veal with the texture of pork.
FrozenFoodGuy
I could imagine that. Not sure if i'd find that tasty though...
akbrewer
He meant farting under the covers and pulling them over your SOs head
