Dutch oven cooking?
x-posted from my personal journal
Went out today in search of a good Dutch oven at the discount stores. Drooled over the Le Creuset seconds, still priced in the three digits, but ended up going with a Wolfgang Puck 5 quart enameled cast iron for $35. Hope it works out OK. After all these years I've finally figured out that what really floats my boat is one pot cooking - soups, stews, casseroles, like the sausage & turnip stew I did yesterday on the stovetop (yummy). The Dutch oven is the last piece I need to make that practicable for pretty much anything I wanna make.
Anybody got practical experience to share re: Dutch oven cooking? In the kitchen, not over the campfire, I mean.
