We would like to try this out, but there are only two of us. Do they make a smaller dutch oven other than the big ones we see? And if so what about recipes for two? Thanks in advance for any info.!
As others have pointed out, the 10" deep is a good all rounder for two people. If we have leftovers they always make for great "road food" for lunch or supper. We have even eaten leftovers the next day at camp. Most of those recipes are extra tasty warmed up in the microwave because sitting overnight lets the spices blend.
If you find you really like DO cooking, you may want to plan to visit a few DOGs (Dutch Oven Gatherings) that are held in just about every state. If you search this forum with the words "dutch oven" and "D.O.G." (use all caps) you will find notices I've posted of Dutch Oven Gatherings in various locations. It's a great way to get first hand advice, tips and secrets to successful Dutch Ovening; and other Cast Iron Chefs are usually happy to help. Herself and I have met astronauts, bankers, construction contractors and even a zookeeper at DOGs. It's a hobby that appeals to people from nearly every walk of life plus you get to enjoy eating your results.:W
