The Dutch Oven

In the same vein as Jeff asking questions but never providing the answer: does anyone know why a dutch oven is so named? Please let me know your theories.

do you mean an actual dutch oven, or the trapped-in-a-fart kind of dutch oven?

Jeff said...

When do I ask questions?

Jeff - Dead or Alive

Kitty - the fart kind of course!

I think its called a dutch oven cause you get trapped under the covers with the steaminess of the fart, kind of the way an actual dutch oven captures all the steam and cooks your food.

BTW: my boyfriend who clocked you in the head with a pool cue? he used to give me dutch ovens all the time. he was a classy guy.
