Hello everyone!
I have been wanting to get into dutch oven cooking for a long time and I'm finally going to do it. I camp most every weekend in the summer and by then I hope to have a camp DO and table. For now I was thinking of starting with a home DO and using it in my oven, Big Green Egg or on my stove.
I cook for a family of 4. Would the 10" be a good size? I visited the Lodge site and their dutch ovens seem to be 'pre-seasoned' - will I still have to season it? I am dying to make things like a pot roast or a prime rib. Are there other recipes I should start with until the DO gets more seasoned... I know that cast iron cookware gets better the more you use it. I would really like to get my DO and cook a pot roast right away.
Any advice for a newbie is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
