Many families enjoy experimenting ex-perimenting with new food ideas while enjoying an outing in the nearby canyon. Bob and Beverly Davis have discovered dutch oven cooking is a way of fun, relaxation and socializing in the summer months. Their family reunion has become a time for family members to bring their new outdoor cooking recipes. One of the favorites foods, a turkey is placed in a cooking bag, the briquets are placed in chicken wire in four areas around the turkey. Many items are cooked in dutch ovens using charcoal. Briquets are easy to transport and by heating the briquets and placing them underneath un-derneath and on top of the dutch oven, cooking is simplified in a space the size of the oven. A new recipe the Davis family enjoys on their outings is orange rolls cooked in the dutch oven.

Greg and LuJean Hullinger enjoy cooking a full meal in the out-of-doors. Fires are built in the canyon on the stoves provided with a supply of wood. Chicken, potatoes and mushrooms are favorite foods that are deep-fried deep-fried over the stove, then placed in the dutch ovens to complete the Cooking process. Greg does a lot of outdoor cooking. The family loves to go camping, mostly in the Uintah Mountains. Its great to get away from the phone, the door bell and everyday life. LuJean states that Greg is a good cook. "He likes to do it, and I enjoy letting him take care of the cooking on the family outings." He's made cakes, pies, all kinds of roasts. They enjoy foods they can leave all day while hiking. A pep-peroni pep-peroni sandwich cookied in the dutch oven has become a family treat. It takes a lot of time, getting the fire just right, and preparing several items over the fire but it is worth the effort. Greg started cooking about 10 years ago, with trial and error and after several food failures he figured out the methods he wanted to use. He found the food is cooking as long as steam is coming out of the lid. Coals do not have to be all around, under and on top of the dutch oven. They are banked on one side, just like a wall. When cooking the deepfried chicken, the chicken is turned every 15 minutes. When food was completely surrounded by charcoal, it resulted in charcoal food, burned to a crisp. With summer just beginning, Greg, LuJean and their four children can look forward to many meals in the out-of-doors. Bob Davis cooks orange and cinnamon rolls in dutch ovens by putting one layer of briquets underneath the oven and one layer resting on top of the dutch oven. |
