Whiteley Creek Homestead

I have a new love. My Lodge Pro-Logic P10D3 pre-seasoned Cast Iron 4-quart Dutch Oven from Amazon. The capacity is perfect for Dick and I. For my eldest daughter, her husband, and four children, the Lodge Pro-Logic P12D3 Cast Iron 7-quart Dutch Oven is an appropriate size.

The first meal I chose to prepare in my Dutch oven was a whole chicken. (Pay no mind to my trussing. Go here for a proper how-to.) After we had consumed every bit of tenderness, I put the bones in my slow cooker to simmer low and slow for a long while to make bone broth.

My pot does not sit idle. For lunch today, we ate the last two bowls of ground bison veggie soup to warm us on a chilly winter's day.
