Gregory! Shame on you!

Islands, a dutch oven is a large kettle (6 quarts used to be standard
capacity; now it's hard to find one over about 5 quarts without paying
an arm and a leg) used for simmering stuff, I guess. Use a heavy kettle.
Some people say a dutch oven is cast iron. Maybe, but mine is not.
