1
00:00:11,509 --> 00:00:10,070
so today we're going to do a slow cooked

2
00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:11,519
wood stove meal

3
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:13,280
but also we're going to be reviewing

4
00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:17,039
this which is the ozark trail 5 quart

5
00:00:22,150 --> 00:00:19,680
cast iron dutch oven

6
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:22,160
this is the first dutch oven here at the

7
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:24,560
cabin which i'm excited about especially

8
00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:26,160
for outdoor cooking but we're going to

9
00:00:32,150 --> 00:00:28,960
just use it today on the wood stove

10
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:32,160
usually i use uh just a cast iron pot

11
00:00:37,190 --> 00:00:34,480
that we have here but

12
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:37,200
i think that this is thicker and better

13
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:38,960
than the pot that i usually use up on

14
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:40,640
the wood stove to make these one pot

15
00:00:45,029 --> 00:00:43,040
meals big upgrade i think

16
00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:45,039
and we're going to tell you how we like

17
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,039
this uh as well as

18
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:49,760
show you a very easy to cook

19
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:51,120
campfire

20
00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:53,280
meal or wood stove meal you can cook

21
00:00:58,229 --> 00:00:56,000
this same meal on a campfire a slow

22
00:00:59,830 --> 00:00:58,239
burning campfire

23
00:01:02,069 --> 00:00:59,840
or a

24
00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:02,079
outdoor fire pit

25
00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:03,359
or

26
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:05,199
do it like we're doing and just put it

27
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:07,600
on top of the wood stove and let it

28
00:01:12,149 --> 00:01:09,360
simmer for hours

29
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:12,159
which is what we'll be doing today

30
00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:12,960
so

31
00:01:16,469 --> 00:01:14,880
we've got the wood stove

32
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:16,479
going uh

33
00:01:20,870 --> 00:01:18,320
it's winter it's 10 degrees outside so

34
00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:20,880
of course the wood stove is going

35
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:23,119
but i just put in some smaller wood

36
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:25,680
which helps with the much hotter fire

37
00:01:31,109 --> 00:01:27,920
for cooking

38
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:31,119
and we've got the cast iron dutch oven

39
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:32,720
up on the wood stove for about a half

40
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:34,799
hour now sort of preheating

41
00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:36,240
getting it ready

42
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:38,479
so let's show you what we've got going

43
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:41,360
on here as far as this easy to make

44
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:42,479
recipe

45
00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:44,720
so here we have our dutch oven up on the

46
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:46,560
wood stove it's been

47
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:48,720
uh preheating i suppose but we've just

48
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:51,439
taken the top off and i'm gonna just add

49
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:53,119
some very simple ingredients first we

50
00:01:56,789 --> 00:01:54,640
have

51
00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:56,799
this is a

52
00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:59,520
one can of

53
00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:00,719
chicken broth

54
00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:02,640
you can see that

55
00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:04,399
with stones

56
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:12,550
so this is just a

57
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:14,550
actually i didn't have any chicken broth

58
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:16,400
so i'm using a can of chicken noodle

59
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:19,200
soup i'll leave the noodles outside for

60
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:20,400
the

61
00:02:25,589 --> 00:02:23,599
critters uh raccoons will eat anything i

62
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:25,599
feel bad for them out there it's a harsh

63
00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:28,080
winter they're out there looking for uh

64
00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:30,319
looking for something

65
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:35,190
rough chopped small

66
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:43,750
let's see we've got our

67
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:45,760
carrots you can use any carrots i use

68
00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:48,160
these this is easy you don't have to cut

69
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:49,840
or peel

70
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,949
throw those in

71
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:07,670
and you can use uh beef cubes in this

72
00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:09,680
recipe if you don't

73
00:03:15,990 --> 00:03:13,040
want chicken uh i've done it with fish

74
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:16,000
uh beef pork whatever but here we just

75
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:16,800
got

76
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:18,800
some

77
00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:20,000
these are

78
00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:22,720
chicken thighs

79
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:25,200
there's four of them here

80
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:26,959
i'm gonna put that in

81
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,000
this is like i said this is man cooking

82
00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:32,640
this is very simple those go in the

83
00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:34,480
middle

84
00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:36,400
and we'll put our

85
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,550
i have some

86
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:48,390
i've got some just chopped up

87
00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:50,400
just chopped up potatoes any potatoes

88
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:52,879
will do if you don't have fresh potatoes

89
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:54,560
you can i've done this with canned

90
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,760
potatoes

91
00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:57,200
you buy those pre

92
00:04:06,390 --> 00:03:59,439
those canned pre-sliced potatoes those

93
00:04:11,589 --> 00:04:08,550
and there we have it

94
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:11,599
now we're just going to need some spices

95
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,120
looks pretty good

96
00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:15,200
here we see we have the chicken parts in

97
00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:16,160
the middle

98
00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:18,639
carrots and potatoes surrounding it

99
00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:20,639
we've got some onions in there

100
00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:22,880
and some chicken broth

101
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,000
if you don't have chicken broth you can

102
00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:26,800
use water bouillon cubes

103
00:04:29,590 --> 00:04:28,400
i've done this without chicken broth

104
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:29,600
just a little better with the chicken

105
00:04:35,990 --> 00:04:31,440
broth now we're just going to add some

106
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:36,000
salt and seasonings this is some

107
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:37,120
sea salt

108
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:39,120
i have something here called kickin

109
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:41,040
chicken i'm not even sure what's in this

110
00:04:45,749 --> 00:04:43,520
but it's a little spicy and it's real

111
00:04:50,230 --> 00:04:45,759
good so we get a generous amount of that

112
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,150
again this is just some spice i found at

113
00:04:59,270 --> 00:04:54,800
the local store

114
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:59,280
kicking chicken and you know

115
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:01,120
that i use a lot here

116
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:02,400
it's great for

117
00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:05,120
grilling chicken on an open fire

118
00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:07,039
looks real good

119
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:08,479
and uh

120
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:09,680
we're gonna

121
00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:11,840
do some pepper

122
00:05:15,909 --> 00:05:13,759
so just salt pepper and a spice of your

123
00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:15,919
choice and here we are the dutch oven

124
00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:18,720
has been on the wood stove for about

125
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:20,400
three hours now

126
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:22,080
should be done now

127
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:29,189
beautiful

128
00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:34,400
we're going to check it

129
00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:35,840
i'm going to throw some more seasoning

130
00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:38,080
on the other side and season the bottom

131
00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:39,759
of that chicken

132
00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:42,479
so i flipped the chicken

133
00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:43,919
this is simple

134
00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:46,479
just flip the chicken

135
00:05:54,390 --> 00:05:52,550
okay

136
00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:54,400
so now i'm going to put the top back on

137
00:05:58,950 --> 00:05:56,880
for another probably a half hour just to

138
00:06:01,270 --> 00:05:58,960
be sure everything is well cooked

139
00:06:03,510 --> 00:06:01,280
so here we are back at the wood stove

140
00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:03,520
and the dutch oven has been going for

141
00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:06,800
another half hour 45 minutes i'm sure

142
00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:09,039
everything's done we'll

143
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:15,270
oh yeah

144
00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:23,830
that is beautiful friends and here we

145
00:06:27,909 --> 00:06:26,160
see the chicken it's the meat is falling

146
00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:27,919
right off the bone

147
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:29,680
potatoes

148
00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:32,319
good and soft

149
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:33,199
yep

150
00:06:36,469 --> 00:06:34,960
so dinner's done

151
00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:36,479
i'm gonna take a moment and get this

152
00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:37,520
plated

153
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:39,759

154
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:41,520
well friends here we have our finished

155
00:06:44,710 --> 00:06:42,400
dinner

156
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:44,720
and i gotta say everything came out it

157
00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:48,000
looks great

158
00:06:56,309 --> 00:06:54,710
potatoes are

159
00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:56,319
soft and well cooked

160
00:07:01,670 --> 00:06:58,319
tasty good amount of spice that we put

161
00:07:05,830 --> 00:07:03,189
the chicken itself

162
00:07:08,230 --> 00:07:05,840
is pretty amazing

163
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:08,240
the meat just falls right off the bone

164
00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:10,400
this my friends if you're gonna cook

165
00:07:14,469 --> 00:07:12,800
cheap chicken parts like thighs

166
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:14,479
wings um

167
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:15,680
you know

168
00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:18,400
this is the way to do it

169
00:07:22,469 --> 00:07:20,639
ordinarily i would not get excited about

170
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:22,479
chicken thighs

171
00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:24,400
right but

172
00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:25,759
there's just something about slow

173
00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:27,759
cooking them over the wood stove for

174
00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:30,479
hours and hours slow roasting them

175
00:07:37,350 --> 00:07:35,589
yeah it's juicy it's tender

176
00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:37,360
it's falling right off the bone

177
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:39,759
well seasoned

178
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:42,319
came out great for a first run i i gotta

179
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:43,440
say

180
00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:45,360
i've made this meal before but usually

181
00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:49,280
in a regular pot not a dutch oven pot

182
00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:51,520
for our first run you know i'd say this

183
00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:53,840
was a pretty good success

184
00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:55,599
i'm very pleased with how

185
00:08:00,790 --> 00:07:58,479
our dinner turned out i hope you'll give

186
00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:00,800
this recipe a try it's super simple

187
00:08:05,350 --> 00:08:03,759
it's so easy even a man could do it

188
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:05,360
that's something that my wife would say

189
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:06,400
right

190
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:07,520
and

191
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:10,400
i suppose the other thing would be

192
00:08:15,749 --> 00:08:13,440
what do i think of the ozark trail 5

193
00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:15,759
quart cast iron dutch oven

194
00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:17,919
well so far i'm going to give this a 4

195
00:08:23,189 --> 00:08:20,800
out of 5 stars uh

196
00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:23,199
the only downside that i saw to it so

197
00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:25,199
far is that it comes

198
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:27,919
it comes pre-seasoned

199
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:29,520
and a lot of people will tell you that

200
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:32,240
pre-seasoned cast iron will be problems

201
00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:34,000
for you down the line they don't do a

202
00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:36,080
good job seasoning them you're gonna

203
00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:38,240
have to season it yourself i just

204
00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:40,159
decided i was gonna be okay with that

205
00:08:43,909 --> 00:08:42,159
because this is a really inexpensive

206
00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:43,919
budget dutch oven

207
00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:45,839
uh you get it at walmart very very

208
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:48,320
inexpensively in their camping section

209
00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:50,640
uh so i wanted to review something that

210
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:52,320
anybody could get anybody could find

211
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,640
this isn't a hundred dollar dutch oven

212
00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:57,120
from a more well-known more traditional

213
00:09:02,070 --> 00:08:58,880
brand

214
00:09:03,269 --> 00:09:02,080
but so far it's done an incredible job

215
00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:03,279
um

216
00:09:08,150 --> 00:09:05,120
and i also have to say

217
00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:08,160
it's roomy enough to cook you know a

218
00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:09,920
meal for

219
00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,720
four say my wife and

220
00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:14,640
me and the two children

221
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:16,480
more than room enough in this five quart

222
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:18,160
one i think to

223
00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:20,480
do this kind of wood stove

224
00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:22,880
dutch oven cooking and dinner for

225
00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:24,080
everybody

226
00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:27,680
so the size is it's a good size uh it

227
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:30,800
performed very well so far it's sturdy

228
00:09:34,389 --> 00:09:32,480
i'm going to give it 4 out of 5 stars

229
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:34,399
the only downside i see is like i said

230
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:36,640
it comes pre-seasoned i am going to

231
00:09:41,829 --> 00:09:39,040
clean up the dutch oven

232
00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:41,839
when i'm done eating tonight and

233
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:44,480
once cleaned up i will

234
00:09:47,829 --> 00:09:46,320
season it myself i've heard that's a

235
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:47,839
good thing to do with some of these

236
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:49,760
preseas the ones that come pre-seasoned

237
00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:50,800
is to

238
00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:52,880
bake them in an oven for a while and

239
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:54,720
then season them and bake them in an

240
00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:56,480
oven again

241
00:10:01,509 --> 00:09:59,600
so just out of an abundance of caution

242
00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:01,519
and to try to keep this uh this thing

243
00:10:08,310 --> 00:10:03,600
good for us for years to come i'm gonna

244
00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,150
as far as this recipe goes this is a

245
00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:12,399
recipe i make all the time it's so easy

246
00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:14,720
you just dump chicken parts potatoes

247
00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:17,680
carrots onions peppers whatever you got

248
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:20,640
in in the in the pot just leave it go

249
00:10:25,430 --> 00:10:23,200
for hours and hours trust the wood stove

250
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:25,440
you know and this meal the one thing

251
00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:27,680
i'll say though is these kind of uh one

252
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:29,920
pot meals are not good if you're really

253
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:31,760
hungry like if you worked all day and

254
00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:33,760
it's it's you know quitting time and you

255
00:10:38,069 --> 00:10:35,920
just want to eat

256
00:10:40,630 --> 00:10:38,079
this may not be a good option for you

257
00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:40,640
because it takes hours right i believe

258
00:10:46,230 --> 00:10:43,920
that we let it go for

259
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:46,240
three and a half hours but the wood

260
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:48,320
stove is not

261
00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:50,720
really really kicking in here you know

262
00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:52,800
the wood stove is at a low

263
00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:54,399
sort of low

264
00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:56,240
level as far as temperature goes so it

265
00:10:59,910 --> 00:10:57,839
just kind of slow cooked and slow

266
00:11:00,949 --> 00:10:59,920
roasted for over three three and a half

267
00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:00,959
hours

268
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:03,920
and dinner's done uh everything

269
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:07,360
happens a little bit slower at the cabin

270
00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:09,200
and i gotta tell you

271
00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:10,480
out of the

272
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:13,200
hustle and bustle and rat race of the

273
00:11:17,829 --> 00:11:15,360
city you kind of

274
00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:17,839
appreciate you know like this is an

275
00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:20,079
incredible meal and it didn't take 20

276
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:21,920
minutes in the microwave it took three

277
00:11:25,430 --> 00:11:24,560
and a half hours on a wood stove

278
00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:25,440
uh

279
00:11:29,990 --> 00:11:27,360
but i got to tell you i love it and the

280
00:11:31,190 --> 00:11:30,000
meals out of these these one pot meals

281
00:11:33,190 --> 00:11:31,200
are the best

282
00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:33,200
especially if

283
00:11:37,509 --> 00:11:35,440
you are working like here today i was

284
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:37,519
working on a cabin i'm doing some things

285
00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:39,839
in the other room so it's not an

286
00:11:43,509 --> 00:11:41,440
inconvenience for me to just come in

287
00:11:45,590 --> 00:11:43,519
every once in a while and check on it i

288
00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:45,600
didn't have to stir anything i didn't

289
00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:47,600
have to do anything i just sort of lift

290
00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:50,000
the lid check on it okay give it another

291
00:11:53,750 --> 00:11:51,920
hour right

292
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:53,760
um

293
00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:56,480
so yeah these one pot meals are great

294
00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:58,160
if you got something to do for a few

295
00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:01,839
hours right and you can just wait it out

296
00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:03,760
and it's super convenient to make these

297
00:12:07,190 --> 00:12:05,519
one pot meals like i said i don't have

298
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:07,200
to stir anything i don't have to do

299
00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:08,720
anything once you throw those

300
00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:11,440
ingredients in you just gotta wait right

301
00:12:15,509 --> 00:12:13,839
maybe re-season it taste it if you don't

302
00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:15,519
