The Dutch initially started producing their cast cooking vessels in the 17th century, creating a range of pots, pans and casserole dishes. Darby eventually in 1707 patented a casting procedure and named it the "Dutch oven", thus explaining where the Dutch name originated.
That is pretty cool, thanks for sharing. On a side note, I've been eating pork and beans for 2 days now so there might be another iteration of a "Dutch Oven" in the near future......
Known as a Potjie Pot these parts. Arrived here in the 17th century with the Dutch settlers and is still one of the most popular outdoor cooking methods.
