The Dutch Oven
A Dutch oven is an iron cooking pot that has a
tight-fitting lid. Traditionally, most Dutch ovens were made of cast
iron, but modern ones may be made of ceramic or thick cast aluminum.
Although its name suggests that it might have been created by the
Dutch, the Dutch oven was actually invented by an Englishman called
Abraham Darby. Darby created the oven after he made a trip to the
Netherlands to study Dutch cooking utensils in 1704. Initially, the
Dutch oven was mostly used for outdoor cooking, but today, it is also
used as a cooking utensil in the kitchen.
