WASHOE VALLEY, Nev. — Nevada State Parks is hosting a Dutch-oven cooking event on Saturday, August 29. Join Washoe Lake State Park rangers for the experience of preparing, cooking and sampling chow like potatoes, cobblers and entrees made in a Dutch oven.
Dutch-oven cooking is an historic type of cooking in America, brought over from European settlers. It involves using a cast-iron cooking pot over an open campfire with coals placed on top of the pot. Dutch-oven cooking promises a delicious taste unlike any other cooking method.
