Customer Reviews of The Complete Book Of Dutch Oven Cooking
Customer Rating:   Summary: the complete book of dutch oven cooking Comment: this book spends too much time on history and stories. beginners need to know how to determine the temperature of the oven. advanced cooks may know how many coals to put on and under but charcoal is better to learn with. twelve chapters of history and differances of cast iron and aluminum is too drawn out. the final blow is when there are only 19 recipes and most do not appeal to me. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't judge this book by the cover !!!!!!!!!! Comment: I had thought this was a great book for learning how to use Dutch Ovens for cooking. Lots of good general info and many nice pics. But, when it comes to the recipes I just don't get how the author can get them so screwed up. As I am new to Dutch Oven cooking I followed the recipes and cooking times precisely. I just wish the author had taken the time to take each recipe and follow it as per the directions to re-test the directions. Many of the cooking times are just plan screwed up and incorrect. As an example, there is no way in this world that the 1 hr cooking time for the sausage and sauerkraut recipe is anywhere near close to correct. Being new, I followed this literally and found that 1 hr is totally inadequate to get the dish to cook thoroughly. Tonite, I am trying the Big Woods Chichen recipe. One hour is completely inadequate for cooking. I am now trying to get the recipe to cook at 2 hrs. I'm sure my rice will be completely overcooked when the chicken is finally done. I am using a Viking professional stove which has been tested and calibrated and am also using a Lodge Dutch oven. Please don't waste your money on this book. It looks good but when you follow the recipes to the letter the results are poor and very disappointing!!!!!!!1 Customer Rating: Summary: Good history and some other ibformation Comment: This book has just saved me from worrying about gifts for my friends and relatives who camp or hunt. I plan on giving this book to many friends. The book is a great mix of history of the dutch ovens and the food cooked in them. I find it well written from the non-expert's view and would make a good book to introduce people to dutch oven cooking. Customer Rating: Summary: Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Dutch Oven... Comment: Mr. Fears takes the reader from point A to Z with every bit of information you could possible need. This beautifully photographed book includes various qualities of dutch ovens, how to season them properly, accessories, care & maintenance and many tasty recipes! Our next camping trip will have an easily achieved gourmet element! Customer Rating: Summary: GREAT book for information Comment: This book is excellent for all the information you may want to know on dutch ovens, how they are manufactured, seasoning, storage, care, how to cook (several ways), etc. There are only a few recipes which are good. I would buy this book again as a reference book. It is great to give as a gift with a dutch oven.

Choosing Appliance -> Energy-Efficient Refrigerators The EnergyGuide label on new refrigerators will tell you how much electricity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) a particular model uses in one year. The smaller the number, the less energy the refrigerator uses and the less it will cost you to operate. In addition to the EnergyGuide label, don't forget to look for the Energy Star label. A new refrigerator with an Energy Star label will save you between $35 and $70 a year compared to the models designed 15 years ago. This adds up to between $525 and $1,050 during the average 15-year life of the unit. Choosing Appliance -> Salad spinner While some may consider this a bit on the gadgety side, I think it is a must as dressings do not stick to water-logged salad greens. The Complete Book Of Dutch Oven Cooking
Useful info -> Hobs Hobs are becoming a style point in modern kitchens, and accordingly available in all colours, stainless steel and interesting designs. Wide hobs, multi-fuels (electric and gas) and five or six ring burners offer flexibility but consider your usage before choosing - If your kitchen accommodates more than one cook at once, position the hob away from the oven, that way you don't get in each other's way. |
