i say pot, because what i have is what i wouldnt call a dutch oven, because the lid is just a round domed lid..(no lip to hold coals...) and not feet..the lid has the bumps or tits inside...i think its called a self-basting..
anyway...this thing is older than me...my step dad had it just thrown in a corner for probably 10 years...i pulled it out a while back and "claimed" it...it was in poor shape--very rough on the inside, and you could see where food had stuck long ago, and just left....i scoured it with steel wool, used a lil bit of fine sandpaper....got it to where i liked it...seasoned it in the oven a couple times, cooked bacon, burgers, breakfast sausage, deep fried in it, and just anything i could for a while.....well..it ended up with an awesome smooth black color, and i totally fell in love with it...now i cook all the time in it...(no tomato products!!)
my point is....today i fried some fries and some shrimp(first time ive ever used it on my propane burner outside, always been on stove)....while eating my shrimp, i noticed some little black flakes (smaller than a pea, bigger than grains of pepper) on my shrimp.....went out, drained the grease, inspected the pot...sure enough, there are little spots where stuff just kind of flaked off the inside...
what do i do with it now?? just not worry about the flakes??
did it have something to do with being on the burner outside??(higher heat)...i had baked it in the oven at 500....my grease today never got over 340...
im clueless...
just kidding turn your pot over on your grill get it real hot use wire brush one made of brass if you got it brush it well then wipe it out really good and reheat it again brush again tell it stops flaking then reseason and enjoy
