Buckingham Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Camp Dutch Oven 4 Litre, Black.

Product Description:

Buckingham Pre-Seasoned Dutch Oven is a robust and versatile cooking tool, perfect for outdoor cooking over a campfire or in a fireplace. Constructed from high-quality pre-seasoned cast iron, it offers excellent heat retention and even heat distribution, making it ideal for slow-cooking dishes such as stews, casseroles, hams and baked stuff. The oven's flanged lid doubles as a griddle when inverted, providing extra cooking options for frying or grilling. It also has integrated legs, offering stability when placed directly over coals or embers, ensuring consistent cooking on uneven surfaces. A strong wire handle allows for safe and convenient lifting or hanging over the fire using oven gloves or a hook. With a compact diameter of 24 cm, height of 19 cm, and a 4-litre capacity, this Dutch oven is well-suited for preparing meals for small groups during camping trips or outdoor adventures. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the oven to maintain its pre-seasoned finish and ensure long-lasting use.

Care Instructions:

●       Hand washes the Dutch oven with warm water and a soft brush to protect the pre-seasoned surface. Avoid using harsh detergents.

●       After washing, dry thoroughly to prevent rusting.

●       Apply a thin layer of cooking oil after drying to maintain the seasoning and prevent sticking.

●       Store in a cool, dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Safety Precautions:

●       Always use oven gloves or heat-resistant mitts when handling, as cast iron retains heat for a long time.

●       Avoid placing the hot Dutch oven directly into cold water to prevent thermal shock and cracking.

●       Use wooden or silicone utensils to avoid scratching the cast iron surface.

How to Use:

●       Preheat the Dutch oven over the fire or coals for a few minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.

●       The flanged lid can be inverted and used as a griddle for frying or grilling.

●       Position the built-in legs over coals or embers for stable cooking or hang it from a tripod using the wire handle for elevated cooking.

Other Notes:

●       Suitable for outdoor cooking, such as camping or open-fire cooking, but not for use in dishwashers.

●       Ensure the Dutch oven cools down before cleaning or storing to avoid damaging the pre-seasoned surface.

●       Regularly re-season the Dutch oven by lightly oiling after use to extend its life and maintain non-stick qualities.

Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Construction:

Made from high-quality, pre-seasoned cast iron, this Dutch oven is built for longevity. The pre-seasoning not only enhances the non-stick properties but also improves the overall flavour of your food over time. It ensures even heat distribution, which is critical for slow-cooking meals evenly. The cast iron also retains heat exceptionally well, keeping your food warmer for longer, even after removing it from the heat source.

Flanged Lid as Griddle:

 The multi-functional flanged lid is designed for both coverage and cooking versatility. When inverted, the lid can be used as a convenient griddle, perfect for making pancakes, eggs, or even grilling meats. This added feature maximises utility, allowing you to prepare a variety of meals with just one tool.

Wire Handle for Safe Handling:

The sturdy wire handle is designed with campfire cooking in mind. It allows for safe, easy lifting and manoeuvring of the Dutch oven, especially when hot. The handle can be used to hang the Dutch oven over a campfire, offering a controlled cooking experience.

Built-In Legs for Stability:

Designed specifically for outdoor cooking, the Dutch oven features built-in legs that elevate it slightly above the coals or embers. This design allows for proper air circulation under the oven, promoting consistent heat around the entire pot for evenly cooked meals.

Compact Size & Capacity:

With a 24 cm diameter and a height of 19 cm, this Dutch oven strikes a balance between portability and capacity. The 4-litre volume is ample for preparing meals for small groups, making it ideal for camping, trips, or family picnics. Despite its robust cast iron construction, the size is compact enough to be manageable for outdoor adventures while still offering the capacity to cook hearty one-pot meals like stews, casseroles, hams etc.
