2. Giant Skillet Cookie Dessert lovers, rejoice! A Dutch oven bakes a single, glorious cookie. Gooey in the center, crispy on the edges—perfect for sharing (or not!). Try a classic chocolate chip or get adventurous with fun mix-ins.

3. Deep-Frying Station Deep frying can be messy and scary. A Dutch oven's deep sides contain splatters, and its cast iron holds steady heat for perfectly cooked donuts, fried chicken, and more. Just remember those safety tips: hot oil, proper tools, and never leave it unattended!
