Slow Roasting in a DO
« on: November 10, 2010, 04:28:03 AM »
Slow Roasting, long time at low temperature

I usually do a Leg of Bambi for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  After boneing I marinate it at least overnight in Italian Dressing then season it, tie it up and roast it in a 200 - 225 degree oven for a few hours.

I don't see why I couldn't do this in a DO.   :-\  Anybody tried it?

No reason you can't.  Our ancestors did it.  Just use fewer coals.

BURY IT!

I have done this with a roast, and there is enough oxygen in the ground that will let coals burn very slowly for HOURS. Dig a hole deep enough for the dutch oven, and some coals. When the coals burn down, scoop some out, and set the dutch oven on a small amount. Then scoop the rest in on top, and cover with dirt. Do it in the morning hours and around noon it should be ready. It will fall apart.
If you don't trust the method, or aren't sure, do one your old way, and one my way. You can't lose that way.

Just like real baked beans. And I'm kicking myself for not suggesting it.

In a regular oven 350 degrees. In a dutch oven that thing is going to loose almost no moisture, and is gonna be awesome. Provided Richard trusts me, and does it like I suggested.

  I have two big DO's, and i wanted to use one of them in my wood cookstove oven.  SO, i ground the legs off one of them, and it makes a much better DO for indoor use.

  Anyway, one of my fav's is to line the bottom of the DO with thick bacon, then cut in sliced seasoned potatoes and onions, then cover them with seasoned pork steak, and cook slooooooow outside on coals, or in the oven.

  As the pork steak cooks, the drippings goes down through the potatoes, and the bacon on the bottom adds flavour too.   :)

I guess it has to do with our PC world which hates good whiskey. pipe tobacco, and fried food. Well being one who does not join in with PC food police.  I will take Elk steaks floured and fried in Black Iron with some white gravy and sour dough biscuits.  I can't imagine cooking a noble American Elk in some Italian goo that smells like a Dallas Cat house. ;)

How do you know what a "Dallas Cat House" smells? I've lived here all my life, and don't even know where one is.

With my life Dee... with my life!   ;D

Hi-ebber, and day always be a hi-ebber...  :P  Considering what I have to pay those illegal mex... uh...  :-\  those landscape engineers  ::)  to keep my yard looking nice, my dog is the only one who can get away with digging holes in it!   :D

BUT!   ;D  I have a kettle grill that I've planned to use as a holder for my DO!  It is deep enough so that I can put the top on with the DO sitting inside.  Seems to me I can get the same effect doing that as I would if I buried the DO.   :-\

In any event, one DO slow roast leg of Bambi coming up!   ;D

Now, about that "Home on the Range..."   :P
