These rules are essentially the same as the rules I published for the Cook'en in the Park Dutch Oven Cookoff that was held at River Park, Red Bluff, California on Saturday, May 21, 2005.
- Cook great food and have lots of fun.
- A $20 fee will be charged to each team that participates.
- Teams may consist of one, two or three members.
- Teams will provide all ingredients and cooking utensils.
- Please use good health practices. Ice chests are recommended. Keep cold food cold and hot food hot.
- You must use charcoal briquettes. All fires must be at least 12 inches off the ground.
- All foods must be totally prepared and cooked onsite using Dutch ovens as the primary cooking vessel. Sourdough starter is the exception from this rule.
- The use of battery or electric appliances is not allowed.
- The use of home-processed foods or wild game is not allowed.
- Gas or propane stoves are only allowed to heat water for good hygiene and safe food practices. A fire extinguisher should be present for the gas or propane stove.
- When your entry is presented to the judging area, it will be judged on how evenly it is cooked, appearance and taste. Garnishing is not a part of the judging score.
- The judges' word is final. Bribing or poisoning the judges is prohibited.
- Two of the three dishes must contain California processed olives. (This rule is unique to the Corning Olive Festival.)
