Go Dutch on Ovens, Not Bills
Every now and again my carefully curated social media timelines get invaded.
Some mainstream influencer slop manages to sneak in and corrupt my usual diet of puppy/cat memes, BJJ content, and the usual dark humor that goes into our most sacred group chats that will never see the light of day.
Oh, and open fire BBQ reels.
You know, normal guy shit.
Anyways, I saw some dweeb on one of those gotcha style podcasts that pretends they're having a reasonable debate.
And he was talking about "Going Dutch" on dates.
It was so cringe inducing I had to take a lap around the house to shake it off.
But it coincided with the temperature dropping and fall starting to arrive this past week.
Which means I got to break out (arguably) my favorite kitchen "appliance"/tool/dish/gift from God.
The Dutch Oven.
Truly a wondrous device.
There's a scientific explanation for why it works so well at everything we use it for.
Whether it's baking sourdough.
Brewing up the greatest chili you've ever tasted.
Or somehow turning a giant chunk of meat into a savory, delicious, melt-in-your-mouth flavor bomb.
Which is what I did this past weekend making barbacoa.
All summer my stepdad kept asking what made the Dutch oven special when I hyped it up.
"I've never had one, what makes it different from other pots?"
"I don't know, it's infused with West India Trading magic or some shit, I never asked. It just works. Trust me."
Friday I went down to the butcher and picked up a decent sized chuck roast.
Saturday morning it got seasoned, seared, added some bone broth and more spices, then let it braise for the next 8 hours at a beautiful low simmer.
Damn near needed a strainer to get it out of the pot because every grab with tongs was falling apart.
The freshly cooked corn tortillas had more structural integrity that the beef.
All due to the Dutch oven.
Truly a miracle for cooking, and absolutely a must for fall.
Anyways, I'm adding it to The Recipes this month, along with a few more gems.
If you haven't already signed up for access, you're going to be missing out big time this fall.
