dutch oven

Cast-iron cooker

A dutch oven is a heavy cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid, typically made of cast iron, used for slow-cooking stews, braising meat, or baking bread.

The thick walls distribute heat evenly, making it ideal for dishes that simmer for hours.

In crude slang, a dutch oven is the prank of trapping someone under bedcovers after passing gas. (Capitalized Dutch oven is the standard spelling.)
