Here’s a short list of some tools and utensils that you should have in a “Dutch oven kit” carried with you every time you cook in your Dutch oven, weather at home or out on the road. There may be a few more things you may need, but this is what I carry with me every time I cook Dutch:

News paper (lighting charcoal)
Lighter or matches
Charcoal chimney
Charcoal
18” tongs (for handling hot coals)
Small and large knife
Steel (for sharpening knives)
Large spoons, slotted and solid (for stirring and serving)
Spatula
Vegetable peeler
Whip (mixing)
Cutting board
2 spray bottles (1 for oil, and 1 for vinegar water)
Paper towels
Aluminum foil
Stainless steel scrub pad or heat proof scrub brush
Measuring cups and spoons
Lid lifters
Wash pan
Small damp towels or cloth
Hot pads or mitts
Cooking Table (12” minimum height)

I hope that you take these ideas and tips with you on your adventures and “run with them”. They are a starting block to give you a head start in the fun and exciting world of Dutch oven cooking with BIG ovens.
