Dutch oven
Cast-iron cookware
A Dutch oven is a heavy cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid, typically made of cast iron, used for braising, stewing, and baking.
The thick walls retain and distribute heat evenly: She made a pot roast in the Dutch oven.
In vulgar slang, a Dutch oven is the act of trapping someone under bedcovers after passing gas—a juvenile prank.
