Candy making in Dutch Oven when there is only one of you I’m trying to make fudge and other hard candies such as peanut brittle in my Lodge Dutch Oven.  The problem that I’m having is that I cannot hold the pot and scrape out the inside by myself.  Definitely a two-person job.  I can’t always depend on my roommate to be around for those three minutes that I need her there.
Is there any tool that can hold the pot by the handles so I can turn it out into my cooling pan with one hand while scraping with the other?
Fudge and especially brittles set up so fast that I end up wasting it in my fumbling. Not to mention how hot it is.
One option is to put the dutch oven on top of something next to your cooling pan then tip it on it's side, still on top, and scrape it from there.  You could probably use an upside down pot or tray, depending on the size of what you have.  This way you won't be holding the weight of the dutch oven so much as just keeping it from rolling side to side.
