BullRunBear said:Question: can I use a cast iron dutch oven to make New England baked beans in the oven? I don't have an appropriate clay bean pot. Any advantage of cast iron over clay or vice versa?
The idea of making a pot of beans on a cold autumn or winter day is VERY appealing.

Reading this thread raised a question I've wondered about before...can you use a crockpot as a small, low temperature oven? I decided to try a batch of baked beans to find out. Mixed up a recipe of our standard baked beans, not Boston baked beans, more like barbeque beans. I put them in a small stoneware bean pot without its lid, put that into the empty crockpot with its lid, set it on high and baked it until the beans dried out. It took six hours.Dragonsfire said:Put the rest of the ingredients in this morning in a 6L crock pot.
Does your Dutch oven have legs and a rim on the lid? If so it is perfect for outdoors and would be a pain in an oven (the legs catch).
If your Dutch oven is smooth on the bottom use it indoors or bury it!!
They do? I've never had a problem.Does your Dutch oven have legs and a rim on the lid? If so it is perfect for outdoors and would be a pain in an oven (the legs catch).

I've never had a problem with that either.colorado clyde said:You can use a flat bottomed dome top Dutch oven with coals too if you know how....I don't let the lack of legs or a rimmed lid prevent me from cooking with coals,,
