6 Must Have Dutch Oven Accessories

Since we starting using our Dutch oven we have found 6 must have Dutch oven accessories. These accessories make baking with a Dutch oven more convenient and safer. We currently have a Lodge 10″ Dutch Oven and have used it on all of our campouts.

Dutch Oven Tote Bag

I love this tote bag. We had been keeping our Dutch oven in its original box until it fell apart. This tote bag allows us to carry the Dutch oven with ease and store it without worry. It is well-padded to protect the Dutch oven. You can find this tote here.

A reviewer on Amazon recommended purchasing a 10″ pizza pan to set in the bottom of the tote to keep the feet of the Dutch oven from wearing holes in the bottom of the bag. We bought one here. It works great and was a fantastic idea.

Chimney Starter

Another great accessory for a Dutch Oven is a chimney starter. The chimney quickly lights up the charcoal and heats the briquettes evenly. This makes baking with a Dutch oven more efficient and a lot easier to get the temperature of the briquettes where you want them.

Heat Resistant Gloves

Heat-resistant gloves are also a great investment when baking with a Dutch oven. The gloves can be used to carry a hot Dutch oven or when handling a chimney starter.

Lid Lifter

While heat-resistant gloves are good for handling a hot Dutch Oven, lifting the lid directly with them can be tricky. A Dutch Oven Lid Lifter is another option to save your fingers from getting burned.

Lid Holder

A Dutch oven lid holder is a convenient gadget to have. It sits on the ground and is a safe place to put a hot Dutch oven lid. This keeps the lid clean if you need to replace it on the Dutch oven, but also safely keeps it away from the oven for serving up your tasty creation.

Dutch Oven Foil Liners

The final must-have Dutch oven accessory are foil liners. The foil liners will allow for the fun of baking in a Dutch oven without the mess. Cleaning a Dutch oven, even one that is well-seasoned can be a pain, especially if you burned something in it. The foil liners will make your Dutch oven baking experience a more enjoyable one!

Dutch Oven Baking

Baking with a Dutch oven is a camping must! While it can be tricky it is well worth the attempt. You will find that the more you bake with a Dutch oven the more you will love the ease and joy that comes with it. It is so satisfying to lift the lid of a Dutch oven and seeing the fantastic dish you created cooked to perfection.
