This is the second video in a short series on baking in a "Bake Kettle" or Dutch Oven. Today we prepare an absolutely wonderful roast beef recipe from the "Domestic Economy" cookbook written in 1794 by Maximilian Hazelmore.
The Dutch oven was perfectly suited for use on the frontier. One can fry in it, make stews and soups with it, as well as bake in it. While the first two cooking methods are fairly easy, baking with a Dutch oven can be a little intimidating. With a few hints and a little experimentation and practice, baking in this 18th-century pot can be easy and rewarding.
