The dutch oven, invented in the Netherlands, was first mentioned in print in 1769. It took several forms, but today it is mostly a large metal or ceramic pot with a tight lid.
The flat lid was an innovation by Paul Revere. A dutch oven with legs (to stand in the coals) is called a camp oven.
The Dutch name for the oven is "braadan."
Yesterday two friends dropped by. Susan, an excellent cook, served them spaghetti for lunch. They ate several portions each.
In the process Susan used three Dutch ovens. Is that too many?
