That is really great. It is nice to have a Wife that can and likes to cook. Mine constantly reminds me the only reason she married me was for my cooking!...JJ
I have a big dutch oven and all wonder if I could somehow make a rack with handles somewhat like a canning jar rack or something of the sort to make it easier to lift without disturbing the crustYou need a big Dutch Oven at least a 12 in one. Then you need to preheat the dutch oven for about 30 minutes we build a pillow out of aluminum foil so the pan is not sitting directly on the bottom of the dutch oven. Oh also we place unlit coals next to the lit ones so the have enough cook time. Then we build foil sling to drop the pie pan into the oven. You have to check your pie after 20 minutes and keep checking every 10 minutes after that. Removing the pie is the toughest you have to pull the sling contraption out without breaking the crust.
