Is this specifically made for outdoor cooking, or is it "meant" for stove/oven too? I own this and find I never use this. I use my enameled one.

I believe it is intended only for camping as it has "legs" on it which would probably damage your stove or oven.

You can use it outdoor and indoor. Only thing with indoor is the legs make it tricky to put in and out of the oven as well as on the stove but it is possible and does still work. I'm like you though I don't really use mine inside, I use my other pots and pans. I leave this one for outside cooking because it's so heavy and the legs get in the way when cooking inside.

The three legs make it capable of being used outdoors, by elevating the oven above the coals. But there's nothing whatever stopping you from using it inside either (probably in the oven).

Works great with coals in the traditional manner or you can use it in the oven by putting it on a cookie sheet.

I've used it in my oven. There's no problem with it. The legs simply go through the rack. As long as you don't have the rack on the very lowest level, it's just fine.

I have used it on the outside stove both ways. It is more steady if you put it over just 1 burner.

I only really used it for outdoor breakfast Such as bacon and pancakes. Worked really well.

I have used this method; in fact I have 2. They work very well for corralling the coals and, additionally, the sidewalls do a great job of concentrating the heat upward around the oven. I use it on the dirt by itself. If I use it on grass, I put a couple of concrete step stones under the pan to keep from scorching the grass. In effect, you also have your own built-in wind screen, too. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use it on the stove top. Coating seems fragile (flakes off). Already had to get replacement from manufacturer for the 1st one. Works fine in oven and it is a great size.

I just found out what a Dutch Oven is. My neighbor told me about it. I ordered one to cook a recipe in. Comon sense would tell you to only use utensils that do not scratch the surface. This goes for any pans that have a coating or something. I really just started cooking stuff.

The exterior is enameled and the cooking surface is nonstick. You can use it on an induction cookbook. It's great pan!

To be honest, I have never been aware of the outside temperature. If yours is cool and it seems to be fucntioning properly, I would not be concerned. Perhaps it's well enough insulated that you don't feel the heat on the outside. However, if you don't feel it is cooking in the time suggested, you might consider returning it. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

Hi,I am in seach of a good countertop oven to use mostly for the rotisserie feature and for meat, pork and not chicken - most reviews focus on baking and chicken. Would you have any specific suggestions or just features/ qualities that I need to look for? I take it that convection would be big deal here. I see a lot of complaints about how flimsy the applicances look and the external heating... Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

I did not do the outside and it has been fine. But even if it rusted a little I would not worry about it it is on the outside. But I have had no problems with that. If I did I would rub a little oil on it while it was hot. I cook on a electric stove so I wouldn't do the bottom where the heat source hits but I would add a little oil on the upper outside.

I have only used this over a high heat outdoor cooking fire, there should not be any issues on a gas stove.As others mention, proper care is the key to cast iron cookware.

Gotta tell you. Think this is one for the manufacturer. I would not use it in oven till it was cleared with them. I love it for stove top for long cooked sauces and soups. . Just what I needed!

I expect this would not be used without a pot on it. I am puzzled why you ask. Will this be on a camp stove? I understand the purpose is only for pots not without magnetic affect. I did find it had a hot spot in center. Might consider that for a thin pot.

I only use it on an electric stove. However, everything external is stainless steel so it should be okay as long as you take it off the flame when it has perked for a minute.

I bake in mine - in the oven. I have not tried it on gas stove but have used it on the outdoor grill would guess the gas stove would be similar. I have baked small round loafs of bread and used it on the grill for pork and beans.

Yes I just used it on my outdoor pizza oven. But you need to fire up the oven to cure it. I have used my oven several times since using this and had temps over 1k degrees and no issues. Very pleased.

I was told that I need to put this in a cold oven and then preheat the oven. I was told to never put this in a hot oven?I was told it would crack. I find that hard to believe because I know Emile Henry makes glazed pots that you can put in a preheated oven.If you have one of these, can you fix the pizza on this pan, then place the pan directly into a 400degrees oven? or hotter? Thank youSorry I posted this as a response - I meant to post as a new question ...
