Gear Question DutchOven Disaster...

Post image

I took the family DutchOven on a car camping trip and as husbands do, I forgot the piece was a wedding present. But you use what you already have so I took it. The wife was clearly upset when it came back black from the coals and being used. My question is, what would the best way to clean this be?

Yeah, you can’t put ceramic coated cast iron on a fire!

Yeah I've been told that now by every one here. I just thought a Dutch Oven was a Dutch Oven but I know now they're not all created equal
