Cast Iron Dutch Oven Pot Roast (pics)

OLD NORTH STATE BBQ CO. · October 2012

With cooler tempertures setting in here in Virginia, I got an itch to attempt my first cast iron dutch oven cook. Found this detailed recipe from a fellow egger here on the forum:

Was pretty pleased with the results. Will definitely do it again. I may try a whole chicken next.

Looks great! Did you thicken the braising liquid?

do you talk just to listen to the sound of your own voice?

Look at the pictures, of course he did.

There are several methods of thickening liquids, veloute, roux adding starch or reducing as you would a demi glace. This is done by simply boiling off some of the water. In most cases, as with a long braise, the liquid would be reduced somewhat already and the most common method of turning it in to a sauce would be to strain it, and continue to reduce. It already has starch from root vegetables and can become quite thick, even to a "coat a spoon" consistency by simple reduction

Little Steven we are in the United States, we don't have 'authourites'

Yes but I do have solicitors/barristers/lawyers in the US that would make fodder out of any ambulance-chasing represented mutt

My wife has a flour allergy, so I use corn starch to thicken the broth at the end of the cook after the meat and vegetables were removed from the Dutch oven.

I love cooking in my Dutch ovens but do it outside with lid on and charcoal beads for heat source. Great for baking no kneed. Bread in.. Lodge is some good ci. I have a lot of it

Another recipe I have to try, looks fantastic

I was looking at a dutch oven. Question: Would I be better served buying the camping dutch oven with the legs? I was thinking that would be a good idea so it's not sitting directly on the platesetter. Any thoughts? TIA.

Howdy, Stranger!
