Made of rugged cast iron, this classic Dutch oven not only slow-bakes traditional camp food such as chicken and dumplings, but thanks to the included aluminum basket can be used to steam clams, boil corn on the cob, or deep-fry fish with everything lifting out easily for draining. The relatively flat cast-iron lid is ringed by a one-inch lip that holds coals for the "oven" effect, and features a loop handle that can be hooked easily by a lid lifter. Because this model is designed without legs, the oven can sit comfortably on a grill or stovetop if desired. The perforated aluminum basket and the Dutch oven each feature a wire handle that stays upright at a 45-degree angle away from the heat, and swings down to the side for compact storage. The pot measures 12 by 5 inches and features an integral tab handle on one side that adds leverage when pouring food or liquid out of the pot. Before the first use, the cast-iron Dutch oven and lid should be seasoned at least once and preferably several times. This will help prevent rusting and creates a nonstick finish. After washing and drying thoroughly, the cookware should be coated with solid vegetable shortening, such as lard or bacon fat (not butter or margarine). Let the pot 'bake' in a 300-degree-F oven for one hour, then remove and wipe off the excess. Spraying with a non-stick shortening after each use can also help season the pan. Most cast-iron cookware can be scrubbed clean by hand without detergents and then should be dried immediately. Bayou Classic makes a full range of heavy-duty cookers and cookware for the outdoor chef. --Ann Bieri

 Don't let the price fool you - just as good as Lodge! July 5, 2008
What's a camping trip without peach cobbler fresh from a cast iron Dutch oven? Last year when we wanted to take our daughter on her first camping trip, we knew we had to find a cast iron Dutch oven - but the prices were through the roof - especially with shipping included. This one was not only a great price, but with free shipping through Amazon, it was a steal (in fact, I'd guess this has to be one of those items Amazon loses money on bc of the shipping...). The quality is comparable with Lodge and we've got no complaints. We don't plan on frying in it, so I use the aluminum fry basket in my automotive parts washer :-)

Bayou Dutch Oven January 7, 2008
Ordered this dutch oven for chef son who has come to enjoy cast iron cooking the best, and he especially loved all the Cajun references on the box. Looking forward to getting it seasoned.
Tremendous value November 29, 2007
A good 2-gallon dutch oven is a wonderfully versatile instrument, even if, like me, you never take one anywhere near a campfire. I use mine primarily for making cassoulet, a kind of all-day meat and bean stew, working on the stovetop or in the oven as need be. It is also, as the largest pot I own, happy to make stocks or do anything else I ask of it.
This oven is a standout for value. One of the reasons for that is that it is shipped "unseasoned" and you will need to season it before cooking with it. This is no big thing: you coat with grease or shortening and bake it in the oven for a while. It's really not much harder than the cleaning process you should use every time you're done cooking. (Cleaning is the one thing you really have to keep on top of--cast iron will rust if you let it stay wet and exposed. Scrub it out quickly, heat it in the oven to dry it completely, then rub some oil into it and store it somewhere fairly dry.)
I couldn't tell you about the funny little fryer basket that came with it--promptly lost mine and forgot it even came with one until I wandered back to this page to write my review. But the oven itself, I am just in love with. A great purchase!
 Great product October 11, 2007
