There are three distinct types of Dutch Oven.





The oldest type is also known as a Camp Oven. It is generally made of heavy cast iron, Lodge makes the best, and has three short legs and the tight fitting lid has a raised lip around the edge to keep coals on top. It is used mainly for baking over coals either outside or on a hearth. There are some cast aluminum Camp Ovens, but they don't hold or transfer heat as well as a cast iron oven.





The second type of Dutch Oven is also made of cast iron and does not have legs or a lip on the lid. It does generally have a steel wire handle or bale by which the Dutch Oven can be hung over an open fire. This type of Dutch Oven is generally used for soups, stews and other items that do not need heat from the top.





The third type of Dutch Oven is made from aluminum, or stainless steel and is intended for use on a stove-top or in the oven. It is generally a fairly large pot (3 quarts or larger) and has a rounded shape to the sides and a tight fitting lid.

A Dutch oven is a thick-walled iron (usually cast iron) cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid. It is commonly referred to as a 'camp oven' in the Australian bush, cocotte in French, as a 'casserole dish' in British English, and is similar to both the Japanese tetsunabe and the Sač IPA: [satʃ], a traditional Balkan cast-iron oven.






haha its when someone farts under the blankets and creates a seal with the blankets. my boyfriend does it to me all the time (%26gt;_%26lt;)
isnt it when someone passes gas under the bed blankets and then pulls the sheets over your head or over their own heads.....
It's where you pass gas in a confined place. e.g. Under a blanket.
