[Public-list] cooking/dutch oven

[George Dinwiddie]

I've heard of people using an old, heavy-duty aluminum pressure cooker 
like a dutch oven on a boat.  You can leave off the gasket and weight to 
use it as a regular pot.  It can even be pressed into service as a 
stove-top oven, of sorts.

We use a cast iron griddle on the boat, and, as it's well seasoned, 
don't generally have a rust problem.
