All recipes use a 12-inch dutch oven, unless specified.
If you have a 10-inch dutch oven, use about 2/3 to 3/4 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If you have an 8-inch dutch oven, use about 1/2 of the ingredient amounts but keep the temperature and time about the same.
If no temperature is listed, use 350 degrees.
See Heat Settings page for temperature and coal placement

Cook time is way off!

@Brandon - Do you feel it is too much or not enough time? It's worked for me many times at these times.

Cook time stated is too little. I followed the proportions/dutch oven size exactly, and it's been in the oven at 350 degrees for 40+ minutes now. Still far from solidified. An entire quart of milk has me worried that this will set. Thoughts?

I made this recipe again this morning to check if the amounts or times need tweaking. Here are my results - fully cooked and firm. The bread soaked up the eggs fine and then cooked.
You could use 3 cups of milk instead of 4, and I bet it would be just fine.
