Having a set of pliers, and a shovel are necessary. Then you just check the cake, pie, etc. with a toothpick to see when it is done. Generally around 30 mins. but could be sooner depending on how hot the coals are. Clean by hand with regular dish liquid and dry ASAP. Then before you put away the dutch oven you need to season it by rubbing a coat of vegatable oil in the inside and on the inside of the lid. Helps keep the oven in good cooking condition. Anyway you can go to this link for any other advice.

NEVER USE SOAP. If you don't use soap, you don't have to season them every time.
Get it to appear clean by wiping it out. Use some water, but no soap. Then use heat to kill any bacteria and to dry it so it won't rust.
