great video Blackie... I first became aquanted with the dutch oven while in Arizona by way of the Mormons who carried it with them on their trek west but as I learned they got the name in this way... 1/ Dutch History A ‘Dutch oven’ is called a braadpan in the Netherlands, which roughly translates as a frying or roasting pan. The modern Dutch design that is currently being used has transformed to an enameled steel pan, mainly used for frying meats. They are a lighter and cheaper weight steel pan to what are now considered a ‘Dutch oven’ is suitable for gas and induction cooking making it ideal for modern indoor kitchens. It looks it most resembles the heavy lidded pots that can be used on the stove top, or in an oven to make casseroles. 2/ English History The Dutch initially started producing their cast cooking vessels in the 17th century, creating a range of pots, pans and casserole dishes. These were initially cast of brass. Their process used sand to make the molds and produced a high-quality pot with a smooth surface, compared to the English at the time that were using loam and clay. Interested in their effective techniques, the Englishman Abraham Darby visited the Netherlands to observe this casting process. He returned to England and in trying to create a cheaper product further refined the process to use the more economical metal of cast iron. Darby eventually in 1707 patented a casting procedure and named it the “Dutch oven”, thus explaining where the Dutch name originated for this cooking pot. 3/ American History The Americans then brought these English pots to their new colony and continued to make changes to the English style Dutch oven during the colonial era. Paul Revere, the famous Patriot, is credited with adding legs to the pots and designing the flat lid with a ridge for holding coals. Colonists and settlers used this cookware for its versatility and durability. Famously Lewis and Clark carried Dutch ovens with them on their expeditions through the American West and it was one of the few items that they took home with them at the completion of their expedition. The Dutch oven was a prized possession, used by pioneers, homesteaders, miners, and ranchers. In 1896, Joseph Lodge built a cast iron foundry in Tennessee, where the Lodge Company still produces their famous cast iron Dutch ovens. bushcooking.com/history-dutch-ovens/
Very good discussion as always brother! My camp cooking implements are among my favorite possessions. I enjoy the art of campfire cooking as much as any activity in the woods and the different vessels that help me achieve it are near and dear. BTW I hope to see that new carbon skillet in a video sometime :) That was a very nice gift indeed! Thank you for all you share my friend. Take care.
I have 2 of the Swiss sets, been thinking of adding a "Dutch oven" for more versatile meals. I do have a couple of Lodge cast pans and they are great but heavy. Camp cooking at the park tools. There are just so many ways to use it all. Thanks Blackie
Can you do a showcase of your storage at the house, for all your inventory. I am curious how you store all this, and if you organize in any manner. Thanks.
Love the Dutch ovens.a good friend just gave me a deep 12" ,now to get a small one I believe you can get a 5 or 6" ,that will complete my collection of them. I like your new skillet. I'm gonna have to get one of those. May retire my heavy cast iron ones if it works good
I beg to differ Blackie, there are at least three types of dutch oven (though growing up in Australia we never called them Dutch). Check out the Bedourie made of steel which has been about since the 19th century, there are also a number of newer designs.
oh there many i was doing living history for 25+yrs and we cooked with cast iron pots..dutch ovens..roasters ect..plus i did not mention you can get dutch oven in aluminum..for less weight
should be able to..the idea is to add weight to the top of a pot with a tight fitting lid( or snugg i should say)..the usual steam pressure to lift the lid and escape is X..by adding say a pound of some weight evenly on the lid i force the pressure to be higher to lift the weight..now you never gonna get true pressure cooker levels here the lid would pop off or the pot would burst..but in the hunting camps i was often in as a youth the old woodsmen would add weight to the lids on tough cooking meats ..like heart /tough old bushtails /whitetail rib meat..i will do a down and dirty on it for tue
Just looked up that skillet on Amazon. They are selling for 40 dollars for the 10 inch and the 12 is 45 bucks. Wow. I have been looking for a carbon steel skillet so far nothing.
your skillet is a tad small for a family. I had to think about carrying a bigger pan with a lid and leaving the big pot for two at home. Would be a bit heavier, though. But, as a "one tool option", such a big pan with high rim and lid is much more versatile than a 4qt pot. What do you think?

My grandfather would have loved to see this video. He was, in my opinion, a dutch oven master. Thanks for sharing.

Most of this can be found at Goodwill a lot cheaper.
I found that skillet on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B01D0468Q2/ref=twister_B06Y3M5F1V?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Blackie, please show us the specifics of that pressure cooking stuff! Also, do you know if you can do it with an MSR Seagull?
should be able to..the idea is to add weight to the top of a pot with a tight fitting lid( or snugg i should say)..the usual steam pressure to lift the lid and escape is X..by adding say a pound of some weight evenly on the lid i force the pressure to be higher to lift the weight..now you never gonna get true pressure cooker levels here the lid would pop off or the pot would burst..but in the hunting camps i was often in as a youth the old woodsmen would add weight to the lids on tough cooking meats ..like heart /tough old bushtails /whitetail rib meat..i will do a down and dirty on it for tue

@@sosteve9113 there is no way I going to spend that kind of money. I am a cheap skate.

i have such a cast iron pan..we commonly call them chicken cookers..big deep pan with a domed cover lid...can cook a whole chicken at once
@@BLACKIETHOMAS those would be too heavy for sure, needs horse and wagon ;-)
