@chienfou I heartily agree with you, and came here to say as much. It’s not what I grew up calling a “Dutch oven” nor is it like anything on the Wikipedia page (just in case it’s more colloquial than I thought).
/giphy princess bride I do not think it means what you think it means
giphy kept failing me, so I had to take matters in my own hands. Unfortunately, in the time it took me to find a suitable YouTube clip, I could no longer return to edit out the giphy failure.
(fwiw, all the other iterations came up with unrelated things; when I added “princess bride” at the front, it stopped returning anything at all)
Oh well. The point was that it’s not a Dutch oven by any measurement I’ve seen.
@xobzoo Agreed At a whopping 1.2 lbs (total) this doesn’t even qualify as a stock pot.It’s heavy duty aluminum foil with a lid.I can see it used as a steamer though.On a side note…great gif One of the funniest scenes of a very funny movie.Now I have to watch it again.So in the spirit of the movie… a dutch oven?..“Inconceivable!”
Yep, a glass lid, which pretty much means it’s not oven-friendly either, another strong argument against calling this stock pot a “Dutch oven”. For that matter, the specs mention nothing about using it in an oven; it’s very much stovetop-oriented, while a real Dutch oven sees a lot of utility for doing things like slow-bake pot roast.
It’s an impractically small stock pot with incomprehensible accessories. Nothing else.
In other news, does anybody know what you would cook in a pot like this? I mean, 3 different foods cooked in the same water, but not cooked together … so it’s not stew.
This is a slightly less tall than normal stock pot, with baskets that allow you to cook your soup with all of the stuff separated. Why this would make sense is beyond me.

Remind me again how in the world this would be classified as a Dutch oven?

@chienfou It has a lid?

@sammydog01 @werehatrack
…much less baking in it over an open fire while camping!
@chienfou @werehatrack
I guess I should have said “It has a lid? /s”

Maybe 3 different kinds of noodles? #pastadrop
@xobzoo Chicken soup for a group of five-year-olds who each refuse to eat a different individual component of the soup for whatever irrational reason.
This is a slightly less tall than normal stock pot, with baskets that allow you to cook your soup with all of the stuff separated. Why this would make sense is beyond me.
And when I make soup, I want a stock pot at least twice this size and preferably larger.
