My great aunt, born 1858, had no oven in her home. She made her bread, cakes in front of the fire in her one room cottage and cooked over or in the fire in winter and in her old style,, garden fire pit out in her garden in the warm weather. She died in 1960, at almost 102. I was almost nine and was devastated. I loved watching her cook and keep house. She was single but always sociable and busy, cooking three times a day for herself and a bone who called on her. She was found dead in her chair by a neighbour who smelled her flowering bread burning and went to see if she was OK. Cooking to the last, dear old Aunt Melia! Incidentally we have a bread oven in our ancient cottage, similar to the one used in making the rye and Indian bread. It has a cast iron door and has collapsed inside, but is still an interesting part of the development of this 500+ year old home.

Lifelong Boy Scout here, and my fellow camping enthusiasts will tell you the dutch oven may just be the #1 camping essential. My personal favorite meal is breakfast, we would always make "shipwreck" where you cook frozen hash browns, a breakfast meat, and some nice fresh crunchy onions and peppers in the dutchie and add a bunch of scrambled egg towards the end. Don't forget the cheese! :)

They are so heavy, though. Seems insane to lug around something made of cast iron for cooking when in 2024 there are better modern options. They are great for bread and soups at home, but carrying around one of those is a lot of wasted energy.

Unless my eyes are getting worse it appears to me that you say to rotate the dutch oven 90° and then the lid 90° but what I think I saw was you rotated the bottom 180° and the lid 90°. I get it that the main idea is to rotate everything to balance out the heat. So which is it, the bottom is 90° or half way 180°? Great show!

I've always wanted to let you know about a book I had growing up called George Washington's Breakfast by Jean Fritz. It tells the story of a young boy pretty obsessed with our first president and eager to emulate him in every way possible. He (and his mother) try to answer the question of what George Washington ate for breakfast. The best part is that they start with contemporary sources about breakfast in general that later contrasts with the real answer. My parents and I made the breakfast from the book and it was a lovely Tasting History sort of moment. I'd be interested in early American food history.
