Just got my new DO

[campn4walleye]

I've been searching for a 10" DO that's been previously "loved". I haven't been successful so I finally picked up a new DO from Cabela's. It states it's pre-seasoned and ready to use.

Should I trust it? Should I season it anyway?

It may not have previous history, so we'll have to make our own. I can't wait to use it. I have a perfect roast for the initiation.

We've never done it before, but I've read everything I can find and bought numerous books. How hard can it be?:B

DO = Dutch Oven
DOG = Dutch Oven Gathering

I like the cooking-bacon-to-season-it idea. Dunno how it would taste from a brand-new DO though.

How about putting it on the stove top and cooking a pound of bacon in it. Pour out the grease while it's still somewhat hot and then wipe it down. At least you get to eat the bacon this way!

DO is Dutch Oven.

I bought a new DO when we started camping. It was pre-seasoned but I oiled it down and sort of seasoned it again. I've cooked quite a few meals in mine and am always looking for new recipes.

I do a lot of cooking on the road, and I am not sure what a DO is?
