The following Dutch oven cleaning tips will help you to do that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Never use soap to clean your Dutch oven. The soap will get into the pores of the metal and \"flavor\" the next meal you cook in it.<\/li>\n<li>Scrape as much food as possible from the bottom and sides of the Dutch oven. If the Dutch oven is properly seasoned, it should be easy to do this. A crumpled up piece of aluminum foil can work well to remove food. A plastic scraper is another possibility. \u00a0I got that works great from a cooking supplies store. \u00a0Never use abrasives or sharp objects to remove food-these will harm the coating you are working to create.<\/li>\n<li>If more food remains, add some water and heat the oven to soften the food. Then scrape it off.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe any remaining food out with a wet cloth or towel.<\/li>\n<li>Gently heat the Dutch oven to get rid of all the moisture.<\/li>\n<li>Wipe the interior of the Dutch oven and lid with a layer of oil. It should not be enough so that the oil pools, but just enough to have a light covering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you follow these Dutch oven cleaning tips, your Dutch oven will give you years of great service. They get better with age-properly cared for, your Dutch oven can be around for several generations.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<br \/>\n<div class=\"signature\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.outdoorcookingmagic.com\/images\/scottsig.png\" alt=\"Scott\" height=\"35\" width=\"86\" \/><br \/><\/div><br \/>\nP.S., For more Dutch Oven Recipes, I recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outdoorcookingmagic.com\/book-review-best-of-the-black-pot\/\">Best of the Black Pot<\/a>.
