dutch ovens - legs or no legs

Have you noticed that some of the cast iron dutch ovens have calves at the bottom while others don\'t?
Have you ever thought about the role of these calves?
Believe it or not, these calves will affect the way you cook in a cast iron Dutch oven.
For those new to cast iron Dutch oven, you can get two types of oven, one with three legs and the other with flat bottom and no legs.
Cast iron dutch ovens without legs are best suited for indoor cooking as you can use them on top of the stove or inside the oven.
You can cook some very delicious recipes in these types of ovens, such as roast chicken and rice, roast beef and potatoes, and soups and stews that have been popular all the time.
Flat Dutch ovens, however, can be used on campfire, but only if they are hung on a tripod.
But now, how about those three legged cast iron dutch ovens, what are they for, and how can I cook with these ovens?
First of all, these ovens are cooked on a campfire, or rather, on a campfire.
The purpose of these three calves is to create space between the bottom of the oven and the hot coal on which it sits.
The space between the bottom of the oven and the coal helps create space for the airflow to reach the coal.
When using the oven with legs, you either want to make a separate fire pit for the oven, or let your original campfire burn into coal, this way you can have enough space between the bottom of the oven and the coal, so the air can circulate on the coal.
Now you can use a flat Dutch oven on a campfire, but you need to put it on some rocks so you don\'t burn the bottom of the food, depending on what you\'re doing.
But sometimes finding a stone is easier said than done, and that\'s why if you\'re really a Dutch cast iron oven enthusiast and an avid camper, the three-legged oven works best.
Just like an indoor oven, you can make tons of delicious recipes with an outdoor oven.
