A simmer kettle, also known as a kettle oven or a Dutch oven, is a sturdy cast iron pot with a thick wall and a tightly closing lid. The origin of the Dutch oven lies in the Netherlands. In the 18th century a certain Englishman saw how – in the Low Countries – they made cast iron pots in moulds made of sand. He took up the idea and distributed it under the name Dutch oven in his homeland England. And so it happened… A Dutch oven is generally used in combination with an outside fire to prepare all kinds of delicacies: from stews to pizzas to a crumble, it’s all possible! This all-rounder is made in various sizes, ideal to make different portions: a Dutch oven 9L, 3L and 0.7L.
