Dr. Jonathan ‘Jon’ Komar, MD, is a resident of Scottsdale, Arizona. At OptiMed Solutions, Jon Komar’s responsibilities as a physician consultant include overseeing clinical best practices, athenahealth EMR, and eClinicalWorks. In his free time, he loves cooking in Dutch ovens.
Cast iron Dutch ovens were the pots of choice for pioneer families. These pots could be transported from east to west, through mountains, plains, and into the unknown, and utilized day after day. They were kicked, stomped, hurled, and yet held up under the most dreadful circumstances and conditions. They're tough, able to resist being dropped repeatedly without breaking, and can survive in extreme temperatures and be used again. A cast-iron Dutch oven may be used to cook in the oven, on top of the stove, over coals, or even suspended over a burning fire. These ovens can sustain high temperatures and can cook almost anything without risking food burn if properly seasoned and monitored. Even if you're camping in the dead of winter, cast iron dutch ovens can keep meals warm for longer. They can hold heat for extended periods, which means that after the dish is finished cooking and taken from the stove, oven, or campfire, even someone who comes late for dinner may enjoy a warm meal without having to reheat it. It also ensures that leftover stew will be just as wonderful and warm as the first. Because cast iron Dutch ovens provide uniform heat distribution, you won't have to worry about your roasted chicken being overdone on one side and uncooked on the other. Because these Dutch ovens spread the heat uniformly, even unskilled cooks can produce delicious dishes that they can be proud of with less anxiety.
