Quality Cast Iron great graphics, The Camp Chef DO-10-Sacagawea 6 Quart Dutch Oven
First look: Super black and double seasoned, it used to be just seasoned one time, now it is done twice to insure a full seasoning. This is now called True Seasoned Cast Iron. (the wax and film is gone!)
Quality: no milling marks and the lit fits perfect.
This series of Dutch ovens is great, I have several sizes and styles, the 6 quart is the "most used"
Next is the The Camp Chef DO-5-Mini 3/4 Quart Dutch Oven this one is great for sauces and deserts.
for the big contests and cookouts the The Camp Chef Lewis & Clark 12-Quart Dutch Oven is best.
I am a big fan of cast iron cooking and think the food just tastes way better. My favorite Pan is a Griswold early 1900's model.
Sturdy cast-iron for the price, Dutch ovens are a classic and versatile cooking tool that is used by cooks and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. There are several companies that still make cast-iron, Lodge, Camp Chef, Stansport, and others. My review is mostly limited to the outdoor uses, but I use one in my home oven as well.
I received this Dutch Oven as part of a set that included skillet, a pot lifter, and a metal box with the same Lewis And Clark Expedition Anniversary logo. That was several years ago, and i have had no problems with it. Like many modern cast iron pieces I have had to re-season the item before I used it. It is an economy brand, so I actually had to season it more than once, but that is common with all brands and the "pre-seasoned" claim does not mean much. This model has a notch in the lid that can be twisted to line up with one on the pan to let steam out or to insert a thermometer, but I have never used that feature. It is sturdy, big and heavy. 6 quarts is the "standard" size used by Boy Scouts in our experience. It is 10 incehes diameter on the bottom, about 4 inches deep, and very heavy. The handle is strong and has not warped on the fire. It has the tripod legs and a recessed lid best suited for cooking in coals. Be aware that those legs make it harder to use in a conventional oven, you need to maneuver the legs if possible into your grill rack. Many cast-iron manufacturers make a legless version with the domed lid for a home oven, and I have used it in a fire as well. On this 3 legged model, you can use the lid as a skillet in a pinch if you need to in camp, just remove it and flip it over. You can do it all with Dutch Ovens - cobblers, stews, beans, roasts, dumplings, you name it. It is the ultimate "one pot" pan.
QUALITY & Durability of cast-iron: There is a reason you can find old cast-iron pans in antique stores, it lasts forever. I have quite a few pans inherited from family members and even some garage sale finds.
Lots of promise but very disappointing quality, (What's this?) I was very excited about this oven - I wanted a 5- or 6-quart camp oven with a griddle-top lid, and this oven seemed like it would be a perfect fit. But then I received it and was pretty disappointed with the build quality.
Smaller then I thought it would be, The description is a bit vague for my taste. When I got it I was expecting a larger oven. 10 means in diameter and it holds 6 quarts which is on the smaller size for dutch ovens. Good size for cobblers and possibly meats. Good product and nice because it comes with a lid lifter for free. I really like the Commemerative lid which can also be used as a skillet. Nice feature.
